Tips on Celebrating a Milestone Birthday in a Lake District Cottage

Milestone birthdays are the perfect opportunity to do something special, get friends and family around for the celebrations and have some relaxing fun.

Whether it’s booking the local hall for a party or enjoying a meal out with a select group, there are plenty of options out there. If you’re reaching that milestone birthday and you want to do something even more amazing, however, heading to the Lake District and hiring a cottage (or two) is certainly worth considering.

The Coppermines have a range of holiday accommodation in the Lake District, both large, small and interconnecting so you can have all your family and friends join you to celebrate than milestone Birthday.

Book a Lake District Cottage for the Weekend

Those celebrating milestones can easily get away from the hustle and bustle of the city any time of year and it’s relatively simple to book a cottage. Many of the properties have sizeable gardens which can be used for the festivities and there’s plenty to do and see out and around the lakes.

It doesn’t matter what time of year your birthday is either. The Lake District is fantastic all through the different seasons. In the summer you have plenty going on, in the autumn the scenery is majestic and during the winter you’ve always got a warm fire to come back to and some wonderful local pubs and restaurants to while away the time.

Adventure Holidays

Many people want to punctuate their milestone birthday with something memorable. All through the year, the Lake District is a great place to stay if you like to be a little more adventurous and you want to bring your friends and family along.

You can find everything from archery and kayaking to mountain biking and scrambling which makes it a great location for larger groups of people. Even on a short weekend break, you can push those boundaries and head back home with some brilliant memories.

Walking Breaks

One of the reasons many people come to the Lake District is for the fabulous countryside. Iconic locations like the Old Man of Coniston and Scafell Pike should be top of your list and there are hundreds of other trails to suit most levels of fitness and ability.

It’s a great way to get everyone in your party together, enjoy some fresh air and the spectacular scenery.

Inviting Your Extended Family

The good thing about renting cottages in the Lake District is that you can invite as many people as you like. Several of the properties are close to each other and people can have their own space as well as take part in the celebrations.

Organise a Party

Of course, you’ll want to celebrate the big day in some way and there are a lot of options here. You could hire a function room at a local bar or restaurant. Or might want to find a cottage that comes with a big garden area and organise a barbeque. Some intrepid visitors make up a picnic and head out to the heights to eat, drink and be merry while looking out on amazing views.

Whatever you decide to do, there’s no doubt that renting a cottage in the Lake District for that milestone birthday is a great option.
