How to plan a multi-destination staycation
In the era of experiential travel, “cottage hopping” is emerging as a delightful trend. It offers the perfect blend of variety, adventure, and relaxation. Instead of staying in one place during your holiday, why not explore multiple destinations while enjoying the comforts of charming cottages? Imagine a journey through serene countryside, picturesque lakes, and cozy villages, all while staying in luxury Lake District cottages with hot tubs that offer ultimate relaxation after a day of exploration. Here’s how to plan your perfect multi-destination staycation.

Why Cottage Hopping?
Cottage hopping adds excitement to your holiday by breaking away from the monotony of a single location. It allows you to explore diverse landscapes, immerse yourself in different local cultures, and try unique activities at each destination. From waking up to misty lake views to stargazing in remote countryside settings, each stop offers a new experience.
The Lake District is an ideal region for cottage hopping, thanks to its rich variety of landscapes and attractions. Whether it’s tranquil lakes, rolling hills, or charming towns like Windermere and Ambleside, hopping between cottages ensures you don’t miss out on any of its wonders.
How to Plan Your Cottage Hopping Adventure
- Pick Your Route
Start by identifying the key locations you want to explore. For a Lake District cottage-hopping adventure, consider destinations like Ullswater, Coniston, and Keswick. These spots are not only scenic but also feature a range of activities such as hiking, kayaking, and visiting local markets. - Choose Your Cottages
Select cottages that align with your travel goals. If relaxation is a priority, opt for luxury Lake District cottages with hot tubs. These not only provide a touch of indulgence but are also perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Look for cottages that offer stunning views, modern amenities, and easy access to nearby attractions. - Plan Your Stays
Divide your time evenly between the destinations to fully experience each location. A 2–3 nights stay per cottage is ideal, allowing you to explore local attractions and enjoy the property’s unique charm. - Pack Strategically
Since you’ll be moving between locations, pack smart. Decide on versatile clothing and essentials to ensure hassle-free transitions between cottages. Do not forget swimwear for those luxurious hot tub sessions. - Book Early
Cottage hopping is becoming increasingly popular, especially in regions like the Lake District. Secure your bookings early to get the best cottages, especially those offering premium amenities like hot tubs.
Making the Most of Your Staycation
To elevate your experience, plan activities tailored to each destination. Explore scenic hiking trails, indulge in local delicacies at quaint eateries, and take time to relax in your cottage’s hot tub under the stars. Each stop on your journey should feel like its own unique holiday.
