5 luxury retreats in the Lake District

The Lake District & Cumbria is a well known UK holiday destination with spectacular scenery and beautiful lakes and fells to enjoy. There are numerous things to do such as a lakeside walk around Derwent Water, a serious hike taking in Helvellyn, Skiddaw or Cats Bells, or perhaps a romantic boat trip along Lake Windermere or Ullswater. The key to a good holiday in the Lakes is choosing the right place to stay and what better than to indulge yourself and book into a luxury Lakeland retreat.  Here are five great places to choose from: Kaber Chapel Luxury Cottage – located in east Cumbria in the beautiful Eden Valley, Kaber Chapel offers unparalleled luxury together with a totally unique holiday experience.
