It has numerous five-star hotels, Michelin Guide restaurants and luxury spas
With breathtaking fells, picturesque villages and tranquil lakes, it’s undeniable that the Lake District is one of the most beautiful places in the UK, attracting visitors from across the globe. Now the National Park has been named the country’s best staycation destination in the UK, according to new research.
The Lake District beat the likes of The Cotswolds, Pembrokeshire and Perth and Kinross to bag the top spot. Only a short drive away from Greater Manchester it’s right on our doorstep, too, so it couldn’t be handier for a staycation. It was named the ‘ultimate upmarket staycation destination’ thanks to its 10 5-star hotels, 18 Michelin Guide restaurants, 25 luxury spas and wellness centres, five 5-star golf clubs, hiking trails and National Trust locations. The research, conducted by Land Rover Defender, analysed the above criteria to determine the best remote destinations in the UK.
Ranking in second place was the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, while The Cotswolds came in third place. Meanwhile the Peak District - another beauty spot right on our doorstep - was named the fourth best staycation location.
