Top spots for your spontaneous lakes trip
The Lake District is legendary for very good reasons. You get towering fells, massive mirrored waters, and traditional slate-roofed pubs serving up hearty Cumberland sausage and mash next to roaring open fires. When it comes to picking a base for your short-notice cabin holiday, you are completely spoiled for choice.
Some of the most popular destinations to secure a lodge include Windermere, Keswick, Ambleside, Bowness-on-Windermere, Grasmere, and Coniston. Staying in any of these areas gives you the ultimate starting point to explore craggy mountain paths, take a classic steamer boat across the water, or simply sit on your private deck with a hot brew and enjoy the absolute peace and quiet.
