Lake District Guide with Hoseasons

From idyllic rolling hills, to quaint countryside villages full of character – the Lake District boasts many reasons to visit year-round; from a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, to hosting family and friends in someone calm and cozy –in this blog, sponsored by Hoseasons, we’re going to break down some of the main reasons YOU should book a staycation to Cumbria’s Crown Jewel; the Lakes: 

 

World-Renowned Walking Routes: 

The Lake District is a haven for walkers and hikers of all levels, offering some of the most breathtaking trails in the UK. There’s a reason that thousands descend on the Lakes for hikes and walks; the well-marked & iconic paths, the stunning views of the seemingly never-ending countryside and the variety of local drinking houses and restaurants to celebrate in afterwards! Depending on experience and fitness levels, there’s staggering climbs like Scafell Pike (the highest in the country), right down to more casual strolls around the picturesque lakes and villages. Plus – after a long, strenuous day of exercise, where better to seek relaxation than a Hoseasons lodge, fully equipped with the best form of recuperation – a nice, bubbling hot tub! Which leads us nicely on to point two… 

 

Hot-Tub Bliss: 

The Lake District is the perfect destination for a hot tub break, combining luxury and relaxation with some of the most stunning scenery in the UK. Imagine soaking in a warm, bubbling hot tub after a day of walking the fells, surrounded by woodlands, or even overlooking one of the region’s beautiful lakes. Whether you're visiting in summer under clear blue skies or in winter with crisp air and snow-dusted peaks, a hot tub adds that extra touch of indulgence to your stay. With a wide range of cosy lodges, cottages, and boutique hotels offering private hot tubs, it's an ideal setting for a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo retreat, or a relaxing break with friends and family. 

Thanet Well Lodge Retreat is perfect for this; located at the base of Carrock and Bowscale Fells and the picturesque Blencathra Mountain, Thanet Well Lodge Retreat boasts the most spectacular views from its dramatic and truly unique setting on the edge of Greystoke Forest which forms the ‘gateway’ to the Lake District National Park. Surrounded by unrivalled and majestic walks throughout the countryside and countless outdoor pursuits, this blissful and highly secluded retreat creates a perfect opportunity for family and friends to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

 

Cultural Delights: 

The Lake District is steeped in cultural and literary heritage, making it a must-visit for families and friends with a love of history, poetry, or storytelling. It was home to some of England’s most famous writers, including William Wordsworth, who drew endless inspiration from the region’s natural beauty. Visitors can explore Wordsworth’s former homes, such as Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, and even walk the very landscapes that shaped his poetry. The area also has strong ties to Beatrix Potter, whose beloved children’s tales were inspired by the wildlife and countryside around her home at Hill Top. With museums, galleries, and historic houses dotted throughout the region, the Lake District offers a rich cultural experience that goes far beyond its scenic views and provides memories for children and adults alike.
