Flaming June nearly here..

Here's hoping!

The tubs on the terrace are planted- we just need some warm, sunny weather. The forecast is looking better actually. Warmish, mostly dry, with quite a lot of sun. At last!.

We've got some great last minute offers for the first week in June. Anytime from Saturday 1 June ,     ( we're fully booked Friday 31 May). Three nights are a snip. Check it out on our special offers page, then check the forecast and make that booking.

Here's a recent photo

By next week they'll have faded, but the bluebeels in the woods will still look spectacular. This must be the best year ever for Lake District bluebells. Rydal woods, White Moss woods and the woods around Grasmere are all beautiful. Come and see!

If you can stay with us on 21, 22 and 23 May you can save over £100 on our Last Minute Offer.

For these 3 nights we have room available at very special rates. Maybe our best ever Grasmere Special Offer rates.

Yes, we know, the weather is still cool, (OK, cold even) but the sun is out in the Lakes, it's great walking weather, and the log fire is burning in the lounge , so you can sit by it and enjoy your tea and home made cakes on arrival ( no charge) in cosy comfort.

Here's the offer.

Our larger rooms, usually £354 for 3 nights, only £249 for these 3 nights .(save £105)

Our smaller rooms, usually £294, only £199.(save £95)

These rates apply to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 21, 22 and 23 May. They are for two guests, for three nights, and include our award winning breakfasts.
You need to email me ( sue@whitemoss.com) or ring (015394 35295) to get these rates. They are not offered on the online booking sites.

By the way, we got a lovely review on Trip Advisor the other day.See our "perfect" review on Trip Advisor here.

Here are some pictures to remind you of some of the sights in Rydal Water, Grasmere and the Lakes in May.

We've reduced the rate for a last minute stay at our Lake District Holiday Cottage

Perched high on the hill , with great views over Rydal Water and the Lakeland Fells, our Grasmere holiday cottage with amazing views is a very special place to stay. It's usually booked well in advance, but we have a last minute offer available for a week, if you can arrive next Saturday, 11 May.

The whole week is yours for just £590 ( usually £790). You can bring your dog too - no extra charge this week for your dog. This is for two guests. There is a small extra charge if there are more of you.

Here are some pictures taken around Brockstone, our unique holiday cottage in the Lakes.

We might be able to take a short break of 3 nights or more this week, if you can't get away for the whole time. Please email me (sue@whitemoss.com) for prices.

If you can't get here yourselves, please pass this offer on to anyone who might be able to enjoy this excellent offer. Thanks!

3 pretty wild flowers from today's walk round Rydal Water

Don't rush along , only looking at the lake and hills, lovely though they are. Look down and see the wild flowers peepeing out from under leaves. Here's what I saw walking from White Moss House round Rydal Water today.

Today we saw wild violets.....

You will pass by Brockstone Cottage- and you can stay here for a week from 11 May. We have already reduced the rate to £690 for the week, but if you would like to book a full week right now  (and the forecast is good), we can let it to you for just £590.
