7 Reasons to Spend New Year in the Lake District

Already well-known for its picturesque scenery and those views that take your breath away, there is no place better to celebrate New Year’s Eve than the Lake District. When the festive season comes around, there’s no denying a special kind of buzz in the air that you don’t get at any other time of the year.

Full of a wholesome atmosphere and charm, the community spirit couldn’t be any stronger than it is around Christmas-time and that is especially true in the Northern Lake District. Quite honestly, we couldn’t think of anywhere else in the world we would rather ring in the new year.

With all this in mind, it’s no surprise that the Lake District is one of the most popular places to spend the holidays, which is why we designed our magical, 2 and 3-night New Year packages with you in mind.

If you weren’t already convinced that the Lake District is the place to celebrate this New Year, here’s 7 more reasons why you should want to spend the season with us:

1)     Stress-free celebrations

As much as New Years is the ideal time to celebrate with friends and family, there is no denying that it comes with its fair share of stress and pressure. Do you stay at home and organise a party? Do you decide to go out for the night and struggle to ? Will New Year’s Eve live up to your expectations? Not only do you have to organise everything, but you’ve got to come up with a plan that will entertain everyone!

With our sparkling New Year’s Eve packages, we take the stress out of the season! You won’t have to do any organising in the run up because we’ve already done all the hard-work for you. Book an all-inclusive New Year’s Eve package with us and the only thing you need to worry about is which glittery frock you want to pack.

What’s more, we even let you bring your dog along! All of our hotels are dog-friendly so you don’t have to leave any of the important family members behind when you spend New Year’s Eve in the Lake District with us.

2)     Beautiful scenery

The beautiful nature of the Lakes is already the predominant reason for visitors flocking to the area, however the scenery during the festive period is next level. Imagine waking up and looking out your window on New Year’s Day to be greeted by snow-capped mountains adorned in frost-kissed trees, towering over a misty lake.

Stay in the heart of the Lakes and feel the crisp, fresh air roll across your cheeks as you step out on a morning. Wander outside and hear the crunch of the frosty ground under your walking boots as you explore the natural beauty around you. Winter walks are a wonderful activity for your wellbeing, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised. There is no better moment than kicking off those walking boots and settling in by the fireside with a comforting mug of hot chocolate – what a rewarding feeling!

Certain beauties in this world are completely unparalleled, and the winter scenery in the Lake District is one of them.

3)     Unforgettable festivities

As previously mentioned, you don’t have to do any of the stressful organising when you book onto one of our New Year packages. However, what we haven’t mentioned is just how exciting our all-inclusive festivities are!

Celebrate harder this New Year than you ever have any New Year’s Eve before. We’ve put together an inspiring New Year’s itinerary that includes activities that you would not get the chance to do if you simply stayed at home.

Our all-inclusive festivities are traditional in nature, while making the most of what the area has to offer.

4)     Idyllic countryside setting

Close your eyes and imagine a traditional festive setting… Now, how many of you pictured a quaint Christmas and New Year in the countryside?

At some point in our lifetime, we have all dreamed of a cosy  New Year’s Eve in the countryside. You still get to enjoy all the excitement of a show-stopping New Year’s Eve celebration without the franticness of  busy city life.

What’s more, after a night of partying, you can spend the rest of your time relaxing in the comfort of our hotels. Our all-inclusive  New Year’s Eve packages will get you off on the right foot and help you welcome in a new year by supplying plenty of food and leisurely entertainment so you can be as active or relaxed as you want.

5)     No cooking!

Not only will you save energy on organising plans this New Year, you also won’t have to do any cooking! Hurray!

There are many struggles to encounter when staying at home for New Years Eve. Do you usually play host to the family and friends and have the responsibility of catering for them? What about waking up on January 1st to a headache and a full New Year’s Day feast to prepare? Or – can you empathise with the stress of going out to your local restaurants and bars and not being able to get in anywhere?

Sound familiar?

Imagine heading away for the New Year period and knowing you don’t have to do any cooking at all! Realising that your meal is going to be prepared for you by some of the best chefs the Lake District has to offer and the only finger you have to lift is to tap a few buttons on your phone to reserve your place.

You don’t have to worry about pleasing any fussy eaters or trying to find something that everyone likes. All you need to do is be our guest, sit down and enjoy; as this New Year’s Eve, we’re feeding you.

6)     No cleaning!

What’s more, when there is no cooking or using your own plates, there’s also no washing up! Families who are used to smaller kitchens will know the struggle of finding room for all the crockery amidst the various courses being plated up.

Even if you’re lucky enough to have a large kitchen with plenty of space, it’s no fun having to leave the party to get cleaned up – or worse still, leave it for the next morning when you’ve got a bad head!

When you book onto one of our New Year’s Eve breaks we promise to get rid of your plates as soon as you’ve finished eating and allow you to dance the night away whilst we take care of the mess made. We want this New Year’s Eve to be all about you, so spend that extra time celebrating with loved ones.

7)     Witness magnificent decorations

The final reason to spend New Year’s Eve with us this year is because our incredible Christmas decorations are still out on display which will bring joy to your heart. It’s also an excellent excuse for a photo opportunity as each of our hotels go ALL OUT when it comes to incredible Christmas displays. Our amazing Christmas coordinator, Trish, does a fabulous job dressing up our hotels every year.

We have Christmas decorations like you have never seen before – who says you need to spend Christmas in New York to witness magnificent Christmas decorations? Coupled with the welcoming, friendly atmosphere that all our six hotels have to offer, it’ll feel just like your home away from home.

Enjoy a sparkling New Year’s Eve celebrations surrounded by twinkling light and glistening baubles. Be greeted by our grand Christmas trees and stylishly coordinated ornaments.
