Some help please
Me and a few friends are looking to rent a cottage/lodge type place in the lake district I was wondering if anyone had any experience doing this and can recommend places, prices and just give me some geneal advice. We would be looking to do it midweek for about 3 nights. Just four of us.

Re: Some help please
Probably very difficult in peak season (basically any time when its likely to not rain for 100% of the time) to get a short midweek break. You may get lucky by phoning round places and hoping that they have a week booking that ends on a Sunday, and the next starts on a Saturday, leaving 5 days or you can try looking in the equivalent of "WHY" magazine ("what have you" iirc) or small ads in the Solihull Times (or equivalent) for people who own a second home up there and rent it out independently.

Re: Some help please
edit: This might be useful for you.
Grasmere is nice this time of year, or somewhere closer to Keswick or Penrith if you actually want to do something, tho even then your choices will be severely limited. :)

Re: Some help please
find a B&B or take a tent :-)
a cottage will probably want you to pay for the whole week.

Re: Some help please
very true ^^
when I looked, most breaks were mon-fri or sat/sun or something similar.
You might get a 4 day one, but 3 midweek is a bit hard. I doubt you'll get it.
