No neighbours in sight and a projector for movie nights 🎬

Shepherds Rock sits in open Lakeland countryside, a restored detached house with two log burners to gather round and a snug tucked away for the bookworms. Big patio doors frame the views by day. By evening, there's supper to cook in the open-plan kitchen and a film to pick for the big screen.

Bowness and Windermere are a short drive away, but you might not feel the need to leave your luxury oasis.

Why not swap the motorway for a mountain pass this Christmas? 🎄

Frost on the fells, a crackling fire and a tree glowing in the window. Nowhere to be and a muddy Boxing Day walk to look forward to.

Christmas in the Lakes is every bit as grand as it sounds and it’s easy too. Leave the hustle behind and settle into a cosy Laik cottage for some laidback festive fun.

This stylish hideaway for two sits in beautifully landscaped grounds with its very own tennis court 🎾

The Wild Nook has late availability this autumn and it might just be the quietest corner of Windermere.

Climb up to lake views, wander the spacious shared gardens and stroll into Bowness when you fancy a pub supper. Then come home, close the door and snuggle down with a good film.

There’s a planetarium hiding in the forest🌛

Deep in Grizedale Forest, the Lake District's first planetarium and observatory sits beneath some of the darkest skies in the region. Step inside the dome and journey from Earth to the edge of the observable universe, before heading outside to explore the night sky through powerful telescopes with guidance from expert astronomers.

With the Cumbria Dark Skies Festival running from 23rd October to 20th November, there's never been a better time to look up at the stars.

Stay close by at Pickle Pot Loft in the heart of Hawkshead. Tucked above the famous Relish Shop, it has art and ceramics by local artists on the shelves, a freestanding bath for relaxing afterwards and room for 4 guests across two king-size bedrooms.
