The rooms include double showers and huge spa baths. The rooms have doors opening out to the spectacular Lakeland views. This striking part of the country is a must go travel destination in order to experience the real English countryside and traditions.
Before travelling remember that the UK doesn’t use the Euro, it uses Pounds and be sure to take comfortable walking shoes because the towns are full of cobbled streets, but it is all part of the great British character. So, be ready for plenty of tea, cake, tradition and history filled UK holidays.
