Lake District Reviews

The castle is situated 3-4 miles south of Kendal and is signposted from the A590. The Strickland family owned the property for over 700 years until it was donated to the National Trust in 1950. I thoroughly recommend you visit as the castle has an interesting structure, the contents are the originals and have not been disturbed and the gardens are ...  Read the complete review

The lake district is always beautiful but perhaps autumn is one of the best times to visit one of Enlgland't treasures. The obvious advantage is the beauty of the changing trees which on a well lit day look irrestibly photogenic. Another plus point is the relatively few numbers of people you will see out and about whilst exploring. ...  Read the complete review

After the excesses of Christmas where I usually spend time with the extended family, eating and drinking myself into a human pudding, I like to get away and chill over the New Year. There is nowhere better than the 'greatest lakes'. OK, so they are not as big as Michigans, but what Cumbria lacks in size, it more than compensates for in ...  Read the complete review

My heart belongs to wild country. To this place, cooped up in the far north of england, not recognised by many as the beautiful scenic place it is. My mother was born in Cumbria, and lived in the Lake's... her sister owns or owned a farm there. My mothers parents are buried there, in some quiet and peaceful graveyard. It must run in ...  Read the complete review

I wish I never had to leave, but always look forward to going back. If you ever have the chance to visit the Lake District, please, please don't let it pass you by. Whether you like serious walking, gentle walking or just sitting and watching the world go by, I can't think of a more beautiful place than the Lake ...  Read the complete review

AIRA FORCE ...  Read the complete review

I live approximately 20-30 miles from the Lakes and so have visited the area more times than I can remember, yet it never fails to inspire and delight. The scenery is breathtaking, while on a miniature scale so easily explored, within a small area there is quiet woodland, beautiful lakes, cascading waterfalls, rugged fells and wild moors. ...  Read the complete review

When we booked our trip to Oasis I wasn’t convinced. The girlfriend wanted a weekend away. Great I thought - Amsterdam here we come, work had been tough and I felt I needed a bit of break. Ah but hang on a minute we want a weekend in this country and also on the cheap! There was something about the place that scared me – I had a ...  Read the complete review

The Lake District National Park has to be one of the most beautiful places in England. There is so much to do and so many places to see that there is enough information to write a book let alone an opinion! What I intend to do is tell you about the places that I love in the Lake District and hopefully you will get an idea about whether you would ...  Read the complete review

The Lake District is an area of natural beauty, situated in Northern England. I myself am from this area, and am writing this to inform people of what this area has to offer. I am from a small market town called Cockermouth, situated just outside the lake district but still very popular with the tourists. Cockermouth has many tourist ...  Read the complete review

I live in the Lake District National Park, not far from Ambleside and although I hate it when the roads are congested with sight seers I would recommend it to anyone. The Lakes and all those beautiful mountain walks are free so you don't have to spend when you get here. You do need to be extremely careful during the winter ...  Read the complete review

Alright, so maybe the Lake District isn't on the same par as the French Alps, but that's not a reason to avoid it. There is actually some Alpine-style mountaineering to do there, but if that doesn't take your fancy then there's tons else to do. Let me take you on a guided tour of my favourite National Park... Statistics ...  Read the complete review

The largest lake is Winderemere and is probably the best ...  Read the complete review

I am sure many of you would have heard of Peak District or Lake District. These are two popular places among tourist. No doubt they are nice and beautiful places, but sometimes during peak season especially in the summer, it can get a bit crowded. An alternative to nature and English country side and less known by tourist is the ...  Read the complete review

For people who haven't heard of Oasis, its rather like CenterParcs. Its a forest holiday village in the middle of the Lake District, but to be honest, once you're in there you could be anywhere! The lodge was extremely comfortable and very clean and nice. THe jacuzzi bath in particular was lovely! If I had one small gripe ...  Read the complete review

My husband took me there And wev'e been back several times since.( going again in a few weeks) it is a really relaxing place to go, if you're feeling very energetic there are a few rather large mountains to climb, Scafel pike which is 978 metres high it is also the ...  Read the complete review

If you have not been to The Lake District, then you are really missing out. This is such a beautiful place that I can't even begin to describe it to you here. The scenery is stunning, the lakes are clean and clear, and the locals are friendly. you don't have to be an avid fell walker to enjoy Cumbria, but will certainly get some of ...  Read the complete review
