Where to stay - Lake district

Graham00 · 23 Jul 2011

Anyone have any good suggestions for a value self catering place to stay in the Lakes ?
It needs to be able to allow pets to stay too, i'm probably looking at September time for about a week

Thanks.

coppermine cottages were fantastic, and most of there houses allow dogs.

Thanks Matt, had a look at some of the prices, they're off this planet though

we stayed here with two dogs for a week, not long back. really nice lodges, loads of walks around the lakes on site. five mins from the motorway.
try booking direct with them. Theres also a brilliant canal walk five mins from the site too.

Have you thought of a caravan? we go every year, if you drive, like scenery and are feeling brave try hard knott pass.

+1 for hard knott pass! But definatly only if your a confident driver and not too bothered by driving 6 inches from a 500 foot fall

just google cottages in lake district
i do every yr for scotland, then make a brew and trawl through them
a lot of the big agencys charge for there services but it maybe possible to get the owners contact details and go direct,
you may also find cottage owners who have there own web sites
where to stay is a difficult one, all of the lakes is nice
thing is its possible to stay anywhere and get all over the lakes in a day
personally id stay up north maybe keswick way

Last time we went over, I didn't tell the wife I just said turn left I know a short cut

man did I need a stiff drink after letting her drive. a range rover came over the crest and she tried pulling over to let it past, I screamed like a girl.

Someone mentioned Keswick, look for Honister Pass, there is a point where the road bottlenecks on a very steep slope ( ithink its apoint where oncoming traffic have right of way (there is a layby to stop and get out) if you blink you will miss it but there is a lovely little waterfall off the edge.

we stayed here and it was great, easy to get around and really nicely kitted out. bit large if there are only a few of you of course
