Last-minute self-catering holidays in the Lake District

For a spontaneous adventure amid breathtaking landscapes, browse our range of last-minute cottages in the Lake District. England’s largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Lake District blends spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages, a rich cultural heritage and a very warm welcome. If you’re searching for a last-minute getaway where you can relax, unwind and spend quality time with your loved ones, this is a fantastic option. Our last-minute, self-catering cottages in the Lake District feature late availability and offers for the coming two weeks, both for weekend breaks and full weeks. We’ve got everything from dog-friendly holiday homes and cosy cottages for two, to larger properties for friends and families, within towns and villages or in remote locations where you can get away from it all.

In addition to benefitting from late booking offers and savings, booking a last-minute cottage in the Lake District offers the opportunity to discover amazing locations you may not have previously considered. This might be the picturesque Eden Valley in the north of the region, the foodie haven of Cartmel, or the cycle-friendly area of Kentmere. And it doesn’t mean you have to give up those little holiday luxuries either – you might find cottages with hot tubs and those that welcome dogs, so the whole family can take a break together. 

All our self-catering cottages in the Lake District are fully equipped so you can arrive and settle straight in, whether it's a last minute booking or a longer-planned holiday. 

So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself and browse our last-minute holiday cottages in the Lake District today.
