Winter Wonderland

It seems hardly a moment ago that we were last blogging about the wonderful seasonal winter weather, yet here we are again! Snow has been lying for over a week now, having first snowed on Friday night, and although there is a thaw promised for Thursday, our long term weather forcast suggests that it will only be brief. We have had the sledges out and are hoping to skate on the frozen lake tomorrow. A quick walk today up to Rigg Head Mines was an exhilarating alpine experince, particularly surreal for this west coast temperate climate. The beautiful cold days look set to continue and it’s a real treat to get up day after day.

Our winter work continues well: alterations in Cocklety How Stable are on schedule. Electrics, joinery and plastering are finished and we are now decorating and about to put in the new flooring. We have also developed a new interactive prices and availabiliy page for our website, which is this week to be intergrated in to the website and should be going live within the next week. It will make finding and enquiring about your ideal break away more intuitive and informative, dispaying night by night availability as well as specific prices for each week for different party sizes. We’d love some feedback, so will definitely be letting you all know when its ready for action!

We can only emphasize now what a wonderful wintery period we are having in the Lakes at the moment, and what a special time it would be to take a break here and experience the beauties and splendor of a snowy Lakeland. Before last year we had not had weather like this for years, so make the most of it: escape the fesitve build up and make time for a few idyllic days away.
