River and Lakeside Cottages Lake District
Many years ago, fast-flowing ice followed the valleys, steepened the sides and created deep basins in which lakes formed following the glacier recession. Now, wake in the ancient history of the Lake District to the sound of babbling rivers or lapping lake waves. Step from your doorstep into the landscape forged by ice and water.
River and Lakeside Cottages in Ambleside | Rydal & Skelwith Bridge | Pullwood Bay
The Lake District is one of the most beautiful places in England.
It’s an area of outstanding natural beauty and is replete with breathtaking scenery that takes your breath away. The inspiration for many writers, artists and poets over the years, it is a truly serene and mystical place where you can wander for hours without seeing another soul. One of the big draws to the area is its lakes and rivers, as such lakeside cottages are becoming increasingly popular, with city breaks and romantic getaways proving very popular.
Imagine being able to enjoy the stunning scenery from your own lakeside retreat? It is this dream that has inspired many couples to want to escape to their own lakeside cottage so they can spend quality time together.
With rivers being a vital part of Lake District life, charming riverside cottages have been in existence for centuries and, with their naturally relaxing atmosphere, they are still one of the very best ways to get away from it all.
