Welcome to our Lake District
Our region covers 900 square miles of glorious landscapes, sparkling waters,
majestic mountains, historical intrigue, cultural splendour and mouth-watering culinary
genius. It’s far from your average tourist trail; there’s no such thing as a typical holiday
here and that’s why we believe self-catering is the only way to stay.
Now in our 34th year, we’re proud to share our extraordinary and ever-changing
selection of holiday properties in the Lakes. From romantic cottages to elegant
farmhouses... luxury lakeshore boathouses to contemporary apartments... there’s
no greater selection in the Lake District. Whoever you are and whatever you love;
you’ll find a place to make your own while you’re here.
