Winter holiday destinations in the Lake District

 

When you think of winter holiday destinations, shouldn’t a hotel stay in the Lake District be near the top of your list?

A Lake District winter break offers spectacular snow-capped views of the Lakeland fells. On a crisp, clear day, the striking blue waters of Windermere shimmer in the winter sunlight.

What better place to step out for a hike on a frosty morning before relaxing in the spa facilities at Low Wood Bay?

 

A Lake District winter break to relax and recuperate

There are plenty of reasons to pack your bags for a winter hotel stay get-away between December and early March.

You might want to winter in the Lake District over Christmas and New Year to celebrate the festive season. And we have some great packages to offer for the Wild Boar Estate and Low Wood Bay. Both are increasingly popular winter holiday destinations.

 

The days may be shorter in the depths of January and February, but winter days offer a beautiful clear light that sets off the countryside in a way that no other season does.

There’s something delightful about the first feathery hoar frost that covers the landscape in a shimmering coat. It makes it all the more exciting to reach for your favourite colourful woollies and outdoor gear, layer up to go out and explore.

 

The warmth of a winter hotel stay

Once the winter sun sets (and the sunsets can be spectacular at this time of year!), there’s the prospect of long cosy evenings by the hotel fireside. It’s a time for good conversation, delicious food and a glass of your favourite warming tipple.

We all crave heartier meals during this time of the year, with good reason. When the outside temperature drops, our bodies need to work a little bit harder to keep us warm.


This is something the chefs at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa and The Wild Boar Estate really understand. And it’s reflected in our menus where you will find an abundance of hearty soups and stews.

They also feature generous roasts, colourful winter veg with just enough spice to satisfy our increased appetite for luxurious warming meals. Oh, and don't forget the apple crumble! The evenings are longer and cosier, making candlelit conversations more relaxed and intimate.

 

 

Winter in the Lake District

English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues offer a range of choices on accommodation, bars and restaurants. We have some of the best Lake District winter hotel offers at this time of year too. And then there’s all the leisure activities at Low Wood Bay and on the Wild Boar Estate. We’ll show you so much to see and do in the Lake District in Winter.


Whilst the lakes are generally quieter, it is still very much open for business. Amongst the most popular Winter holiday destinations, the Lake District stands out. And it’s an ideal time to stroll around the quaint and charismatic villages, browse the boutiques and artisan shops, and take time to really explore this beautiful area.
