Cumbria, the jewel of northwest England, is where nature meets storybook charm in the most breathtaking way. Home to the iconic Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Cumbria offers awe-inspiring landscapes filled with glacial lakes, rugged mountains, and charming stone villages. Wander through the paths that inspired Wordsworth’s poetry and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Lake Windermere or Ullswater, where the water mirrors sky and mountain alike.
For adventurers, Cumbria is paradise, offering hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing against jaw-dropping backdrops. Foodies will find local gems like Cartmel, famous for its sticky toffee pudding, and a flourishing farm-to-table scene across cosy inns and Michelin-starred spots alike. The area's rich literary history - from Beatrix Potter to Arthur Ransome - adds depth to its timeless appeal. Cumbria isn’t just a destination; it’s a place that refreshes the spirit, blending untouched wilderness with a quintessentially English charm.
Here at Coolstays we love Cumbria and have a range of great accommodation options available for you to choose from cosy cabins and charming cottages to converted barns and grand houses.
