Weddings with a Difference at Lake District Hotels

Choosing the right wedding venue to make your day memorable is one thing, but doing something different to entertain your guests is another!

These days the usual traditions of a wedding often remain but sometimes aren’t enough as these two couples demonstrated when they got married at the Inn on the Lake and the Lodore Falls Hotel.

Lazy Sunday Specials at Lake District Hotels

Sunday Specials at Lake District Hotels

Don’t forget Sundays when looking at going away for the weekend or a short break in the Lake District. Especially not when Lake District Hotels has the perfect lazy Sunday break for you.

Sundays are very often overlooked by those who are going away for a short- or weekend break in favour of travelling on a Thursday or Friday. In terms of travelling on a Sunday, there is hardly any commuter traffic on the roads and far less heavy goods vehicles. Sundays in the Lake District have a great vibe and either travelling on Sunday or staying on a Sunday as part of the weekend break allows you to experience this. Whether it’s for a leisurely walk on the edge of one of the beautiful lakes or walking one of England’s highest fells, Sundays are made for the Lake District.

There are many plus points in going away on a Sunday or making your weekend break Saturday/Sunday instead of Friday/Saturday. Sundays in the Lake District, even in the height of a season, are very chilled out and far quieter.

For those wanting to get away from it all, stay in one of the six Lake District Hotels located around the most beautiful parts of the Northern Lake District. When you visit the Lakes out of season you can really feel as though you’ve got all the space in the world.

Each of the six Lake District Hotels offer the most amazing of Sunday dinners. When departing on a Sunday, a Lake District Sunday roast is out of the question and with the amazing meat and other produce the Lake District has, it’s no wonder how gutting missing out can be. Now when you stay the night at a one of our Lake District Hotels, a Sunday roast dinner can be had with no need to rush followed by a beautiful route round a lake or mountain to walk it all off.

Let’s make Monday the new Friday and use your annual leave for that day instead. Plus you’ll certainly not suffer the Monday morning blues when you wake up in one of our hotels!

In conclusion, don’t forget Super Sundays to make your weekend feel that little bit longer!

Take advantage of Lake District Hotels Sunday Specials offer starting from just £89 per person…

Arrive on a Sunday and enjoy:

  • Accommodation in a standard room with breakfast (upgrade available)
  • 2 course Sunday lunch or afternoon tea
  • Pre-dinner cocktail or drink served with home-made canapes
  • 4 course dinner in the hotel’s main restaurant
