Spring at last in the Lake District

It's finally warmed up, and we have some much needed rain top help the buds open. That's the good news.

More good news if you're planning to visit the Lakes is that it's very quiet here. We're offering exceptionally good rates for bed and breakfast in the next two weeks. Follow the link here for more information.
We are also offering 3 night breaks at our lovely cottage for just £290 (£590 for a week) Here's the link to find out more about the cottage.

I always like to add a photo,so I've used one I took last year, of a herdwick lamb hiding behind a bluebell. Our local lambs haven't been born yet- the farmer aims for St George's Day, 23 April. The sheep and lambs love our back garden on the fell side.

There must be sunshine after rain.........

When it rains in the Lakes ( which we all know it does, often) I sometimes hum the old Dire Straits song, "why worry now?....."There must must sunshine after rain, these things have always been the same, so why worry now? "
Yesterday stretched this optimism to the full- we had gales, rain, hailstones, thunder and lightening , but guess what? - it really is a beautiful sunny day here now.
The Australian guests who arrived yesterday went straight out to buy waterproof trousers in  Ambleside. They are very happy not to be using them today!
If you're looking for a last minute break in the Grasmere area, then please take a look at the special offer page on our website for  White Moss House.
Don't forget your camera. The trees are looking great.

2012 bookings rolling in- from Australia

This year we've had lots of Australian guests, and 2012 looks like being the same. The Aussie dollar is very strong right now, and it seems that lots of Aussies are taking the chance to visit the UK whilst the pound is at bargain basement rates.

The flights must be on sale now at attractive rates, as we are now getting lots of bookings for May 2012 from down under.I don't think there will be many of us heading in the opposite direction right now ! Amazing how things turn around. It doesn't seem that long ago that Australian holidays were great value for us in the UK.

Closer to home and more immediate- we have offers on our website from now until we take our winter break in November. See our special Grasmere bed and breakfast offers here.

We are fully booked this week, but we do have rooms still for the half term weeks- children very welcome. Please email sue@whitemoss.com for our best quotes if you want to bring the family. This really is a great time of year to visit Grasmere and the Lake District. Everything looks even more beautiful than ever.
