We love The Lake District (maybe that’s why we live there!) – it’s perfect for a romantic weekend break with plenty of things to do. Anytime through the year it has a real beauty but when the sun is out it is propably one of the most stunning places you can imagine. And when the weather doesn’t play ball, well, there’s always plenty of great country pubs to have your drink in front of a roaring fire!
Discover the real Lake District; stunning walks, quaint villages, an authentic pub within walking distance and best of all, no large crowds. Described by many of its guests as a hidden gem, The Groom’s Cottage is a perfect hideaway off the beaten track but with easy access to places like Keswick and Cockermouth. Winner of a 2018 Visit England Gold award and with its cosy interiors and thoughtful little touches this cottage ticks all the boxes for a romantic break in the Lake District.
