Welcome to Escape2cumbria.com. This site aims to provide a comprehensive directory of holiday accommodation in Cumbria, the Lake District. It covers self-catering cottages and bed and breakfasts and guest houses, as well as a selection of quality hotels, in all the main areas around Cumbria, from the well known areas of Windermere, Grasmere and Ambleside, to the smaller villages like Glenridding, Patterdale, and Tirril, to the western lakes areas around Maryport, Whitehaven and Workington.
