Busy schedules, stressful workloads and commitments can plague our lives. As a result. sometimes the love of your life can feel more like a housemate you see occasionally. If that sounds familiar, then maybe you need some time away together. Instead of booking a holiday abroad, with flights, passports, and time differences, why not discover the beautiful English countryside instead?

There's nothing better than a relaxing, romantic getaway, just the two of you. And we've got the perfect place for you.

A Beautiful Location

Treat yourself to a little bit of luxury at the beautiful Historic Pavilion. With a four-poster bed, gorgeous hot tub and stunning décor, the Pavilion has everything you need to feel like royalty. This converted tennis pavilion is now a five-star luxury getaway that you'll love. Wake up to beautiful views of the countryside. Green fields right outside the bedroom and patio doors to take in the scenery.

The Pavilion

Enjoy Time Cooking Together

Cooking together is a great way to be creative, relax and make something amazing, and the Pavilion has a gorgeous kitchen where you can do just that. Take a visit to one of the lovely local markets and pick up some fresh ingredients, visit a nearby butcher, and enjoy the quieter pace of a countryside village. Go all out and make a three-course meal from scratch, with all of your favourite treats.

Relax in the Pub

Take a stroll into the village of Tunstall and spend a good old fashioned evening in the pub together. Spend time chatting and relaxing, with a great pint or glass of wine and enjoy being on a date together. You don't have to worry about transport after a few drinks as it's only a couple of minutes walk to the cottage.

Look After Each Other

Pack that super fancy moisturiser, get yourselves a foot scrub and some face masks and have a lovely pamper evening together. Chill out in the hot tub, open some bubbly and give your skin and soul some extra good care. With candles, a cosy wood burner and fluffy towels, you can create your very own spa experience with just the two of you. How perfect does that sound?

Here at Mill House Cottages, we pride ourselves on providing beautiful luxury holiday cottages for all. If you are looking for a romantic cottage for two near the Lake District or beyond, look no further.

The Lake District is a beautiful area of Britain and is wildly popular with all different types of holidaymakers - from young families, single couples and older people wanting a few days away. One of the things the Lake District is known for is the abundance of great walking routes, although if you are on holiday with your family, are a bit older and want something less strenuous or just want to have a relaxing time, hiking for hours up fells and steep hills may not be for you.

Have a look at some of our best walks for beginners and those wanting a relaxing time with a little bit of fitness thrown in.

Pooley Bridge to Gale Bay

Pooley Bridge to Gale Bay is a relatively short walk and suitable for all ages and all levels of fitness. It lasts for about one kilometre and is fully paved so those in wheelchairs and with less mobility will be able to enjoy this walk. It is a linear route along the shore of the Ullswater with some spectacular views along the way, and also a resting place, toilets and a café halfway along.

Kentmere

Kentmere walk is a little longer at around 3.75 kilometres. Some of the route is uphill but it’s fully paved and electric wheelchairs and buggies are still able to get up it. Even the steep sections are worth the climb as you will be treated to spectacular mountain views when you reach Kentmere Horseshoe. The fitter and more adventurous can continue climbing once they reach Hartmore Farm, but those less able can go back down the same route with ease.

Blea Tarn

Blea Tarn is the perfect walk if you want something not too strenuous but with a bit of spectacular mountain scenery. It’s around 1.5 km long. This route is usually accessible for everyone but at some time of year water damage can occur and block off paths, so phone the tourist board ahead of travel.

If you’re interested in a simple walking holiday this year, why not book a luxury holiday cottage in the Lake District. Millhouse Cottages also have property in the Yorkshire Dales, so wherever you want to go, we’ve got you covered. We have breath-taking accommodation suitable for that perfect romantic getaway in the Lake District, places for your family to enjoy the scenery and places for you and your friends to enjoy in our group accommodation.
