"Cumbria is still open for business....!"

The effects of the November floods are very localised. Though Workington and Cockermouth are affected, here in Whitehaven we are untouched by the problems.

So a short break in this Georgian town, staying at Lowther House, still offers great value, with easy access to the beauty and peace of the Western Lakes (or as we like to call them, the Peaceful Lakes): Ennerdale, Eskdale, Wasdale, Loweswater and Buttermere. There are easy walks, good food and drinks in front of open fires, together with Trevor's hospitality and expertise. He will point you to 500 year old eateries and relaxing tea breaks and help you to enjoy your time in this beautiful area.

All the best.
