Michelle - Director
I have over 10 years experience in the self catering cottage industry. I ran a successful cleaning business called Diamond Cleaning from the back of that with our extensive local knowledge Adam I then set up Lakeland Retreats.
Lakeland Retreats
Lakeland Retreats is a family run business based in the heart of Ambleside. We provide holiday makers with a choice of hand picked self catering properties from which to enjoy the beautiful Lake District.
We pride ourselves in having a personal approach to ensure we build strong relationships with our guests and owners. We are very passionate about what we do and are excited about what the future holds. We are always building on our portfolio of high quality cottages which we will manage personally.
Extremely passionate about our local area
Ambleside has always been our home and our children have loved growing up here. Being extremely passionate about our local area we will do everything to ensure our guests have a great holiday.
Our main prerogative is to ensure that all our retreats are managed and maintained to a high standard, from small maintenance jobs to large refurbishments. Michelle and I keep on top of the day to day running of the business to ensure we keep our services running at a high spec.

Our staff have extensive knowledge of the area and our properties. Whether you are climbing Helvellyn, taking a cruise on Lake Windermere or simply want to take a few days to relax and enjoy the scenery, we will do our best to find the right property for you.
