My Holiday At The Beech Hill Hotel In The Lake District

A Lake District holiday is like strolling through a wonderland of natures finest creations

. From the stunning view of Lake Windermere to the comfy log fire youll find at the end of a lengthy hike, the Beech Hotel in the Lake District is something close to living a real life fantasy.

The Lake Windermere Hotel is part of the Lake District, a natural wildlife reserve that was donated to England through the generosity of Beatrix Potter, the worlds greatest childrens author. The Lake District was where she would spend her summers as a child, and many of her most famous characters, like Jemima Puddleduck and Peter Rabbit, were inspired by the beautiful surroundings and abundant wildlife. Today you can enjoy the Lake District as Beatrix did, because everything has remained preserved and untouched.

The Beech Hotel boasts a stunning waterside location, giving guests views of the lake from their hotel room windows and the surrounding grounds. One of the best activities to take part in while visiting is the lovely lake walks. Beatrix Potter spent much of her time wandering the shores of Windermere Lake, sketching the scenery and animals to use for her stories. Visitors can retrace her steps and enjoy the beauty that inspired the imagination of Miss Potter on the Lake District walks.

There are a few different trails to take. The Buttermere Trail is 5 miles long, winding around the smaller Buttermere Lake. Scaffell Peak is Englands highest mountain. The hike from the bottom to the peak is about seven miles, and only visitors who are in fairly good shape should try to hike it. The Ullswater and Grasmere are both long but enjoyable. Youll see such beautiful sites as Grasmere Lake, Rydal Water, Place Fell and Patterdale. Catbells is the final option for walkers or hikers, and its particularly family friendly. Its known as a miniature mountain, and the hike lasts for about nine miles.

Looking for a more relaxing way to spend your Lake District holiday? Try the restaurant and bar inside the Windermere Hotel. Burlingtons Restaurant is the ideal way to end the day after a stroll along the lake. The food is mouthwatering. One of their specialties is the many different tastes of Canape they offer. After dinner, wander outside and sit by the log fire, watching the sun set over the lake as the breeze rolls in. Its an unforgettable experience.

Lake District walking during the daytime will definitely get your appetite worked up. All of the restaurants or hotels in the area serve food that is garnished with local foods. For example, Cumberland Sausage is one of the most popular dishes at the Hotel in Windermere. Damsons are members of the plum family, growing specifically within the Lake District. After the white blossom dies after the spring, the fruit is collected and used to make jellies, jams, pies, wines, breads and puddings. Visit Grasmere Village and right next to the local church you will be able to pick up some Grasmere gingerbread, a variation of gingerbread with the texture of cake. A few of the other tasty dishes you can hunt down in the Lake District are Herdwick Lamb, Kendal Mint Cake (popular with hikers who are looking for an energy boost during a long hike), and Rum Cake.

Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Hotel in Windermere is Brockhole. It is the visitors center for people visiting the Lake District and you can explore the sprawling gardens around the property. There is a gift shop, a caf that serves local cuisine and hot tea, and places for children to play while you relax.
