The Cumbria/Lake District region
Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes – the Lake District landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. Walking is one of the best ways of exploring the Lake District.
For the serious walker the mountains of Skiddaw, Scafell and Helvellyn provide enjoyable challenges, whilst at lower levels there are hundreds of routes wandering among the lakes and stone-walled fields. You can even choose a lake to suit your mood: if bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating watersports take your fancy, then Windermere and Coniston Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. If it’s peace and tranquility you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Yet Cumbria offers much more than the lakes alone. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley, where the heather clad moors peppered with birch trees inspired many of Wordsworth’s poems.
With its award-winning gardens and the Lakeland Motor Museum, Holker Hall is also a great day out, whilst in northern Cumbria the peaceful villages of Caldbeck and Ireby offer a haven of solitude and picturesque tranquility. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and watersports and is home to the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre and Lowther Wildlife Park, perfect for a family day out
The Windermere / Bowness area
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the "World of Beatrix Potter" in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

Guestbook for 1012 - Little Ghyll
The peace and quiet the high standard of the property were wonderful.

,The weather was very good for the Lake District and the cottage was well equipped and nicely furnished.

,We drove in and the views were breath taking! When we arrived at Little Ghyll, we decided straight away it was the ideal setting, home from home! We spent an extra night in as we were so comfortable in the property. It had everything we needed for a night in. We were able to wine and dine as we had great kitchen and dining facilities. Little Ghyll is set in the perfect location, within walking distance of the lake and it was a two minute drive to a lovely hotel, where we had afternoon tea. The bars and restaurants are also a few minutes drive and we would also recommend the karaoke at Stags pub on Sunday nights! Little Ghyll was the most perfect setting for out perfect getaway!

,The house was lovely, well laid out with the stone hallway downstairs to leave our boots. Lovely décor, cosy and a great fire. Good location too with a nice walk into Bowness from the property. It was a nice property to return to after a days walking.
