Large Holiday Cottages in the Lake District
What a treat it is to get the family together for a reunion or a special occasion or just for a holiday with three generations ….it maybe that you only see your loved ones occasionally and the best kind of holiday will be self-catering. Lots of time to chat, to catch up and enjoy each other’s company.
On the other hand you may be a number of couples wishing to stay together in comfortable surroundings with plenty of bathroom facilities, spacious parking and maybe an extra facility …look at luxurious Bethcar with its spacious accommodation, three and a half bathrooms, games room and sauna, or think about Thrang End…which also comes with a luxury tag, fabulous views and interior comfort. The School at Mungrisedale is large and imaginatively designed as is High Biggin with its stylish interior, hot tub and lake views. …there is much more to see on our website and we look forward to welcoming you to Heart of the Lakes.

Superb bungalow - lovely views from all windows
Our Christmas present to ourselves this year was to escape the hustle and bustle of a commercial Christmas and enjoy a peaceful getaway...we would have struggled to find a better cottage had we searched all year.
