As the seasons change, staying in one of our Lake District cottages never loses its magic. From the first signs of spring to the frosty sparkle of winter, each season brings its own beauty — and every stay with Cumbrian Cottage Holidays offers a new way to experience it. Whether you’re visiting for outdoor adventure, peaceful scenery, or festive cheer, the Lakes have something special to offer all year round.
Autumn Adventures
As autumn settles across the Lake District, a familiar magic returns. Colourful leaves crunch underfoot, the fells glow in shades of gold and amber, and muddy boots tell the stories of countless adventures. After days spent exploring, our guests return to their cottages to unwind beside cosy wood-burning stoves — the perfect way to warm up on a crisp evening.
Families are embracing the season with pumpkin picking, scenic walks, and spooky fun at Scarefests across the region, including the ever-popular Muncaster Castle Halloween Family Festival. Autumn truly captures the spirit of the Lakes — wild, beautiful, and full of charm.

Spring and Summer Memories
It’s been a wonderful year here at Cumbrian Cottage Holidays, and as the seasons have come and gone, the Lake District has remained as popular and breathtaking as ever.
In spring, sunshine returned to the valleys, wildflowers carpeted the meadows, and new life appeared in every corner — from playful lambs in the fields to fresh green leaves along the trails.
The summer months brought longer days and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure. Guests enjoyed picnics by the water, scenic boat trips, and the thrill of watersports on Windermere, Ullswater, and Coniston. It was a season of making memories and soaking up the sunshine.
Looking Ahead to Winter
Now, with autumn in full swing, we’re looking ahead to Christmas in the Lake District and all of the festivities this brings. The Lakes take on a new kind of beauty at this time of year, with twinkling lights and seasonal celebrations all around. Highlights include the Victorian Christmas Market in Keswick, magical Santa experiences at Honister Slate Mine, and breakfast with Santa at the Lake District Wildlife Oasis.
Whatever the season, the Lake District continues to inspire and delight. Whether you’re visiting for a peaceful retreat, a family adventure, or a festive getaway, our collection of cosy cottages offers the perfect base for exploring this stunning corner of the world.
As we reflect on another fantastic year, we’d like to thank all our guests for choosing to stay with us — and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable moments, where you can discover a new season and adventure in the Lake District.
