HOTL 2019 Online Brochure by Eclectic Creative

2019

the key to your dream cottage holiday... Join us in celebrating 44 years… Imagine over 40 years* of self-catering! Way back when our company started under its then name of ‘Cottage Life’ there was an imaginatively named holiday home called ‘No 1 Cottage’. Guests were asked to provide everything for their holiday and in one instance even to bring their own TV to link up to the TV socket that was generously provided. Holidaymakers trekked backwards and forwards from home with bed linen, duvet covers etc. to arrive at basically equipped accommodation… no hope of a washer or microwave, never a freezer or a dishwasher and probably Grannie’s old hoover to add to the holiday comfort. How life has changed!! So here we are in 2019. Our friendly, three generation family run business, based in Ambleside, now has 44 years of self-catering experience under its belt. This was recognised in 2016 when we won the Family Business of the Year Award ‘People’s’ Choice for the North, North West and Northern Ireland. We hope you enjoy browsing through our brochure so that you can book with confidence and be assured of our first class service. Heart of the Lakes is QAA inspected, giving you reassurance in our policies and procedures and our staff take a genuine sense of pride knowing we do all we can to make your holiday really special.

Your vital contribution

Our Man at the Top

Over the past 100 years, the National Trust has become owner and protector of over a quarter of the Lake District National Park. Much of the central Lakes, where you’ll find many of our properties, are in the care of the Trust. Caring for this living landscape and balancing the needs of the countryside with those of the visitors is very costly.

One of the greatest pleasures in the Lake District is walking the fells. Inevitably, all those feet take their toll on the landscape and dedicated teams have to be employed to maintain the miles of footpaths.

At Heart of the Lakes, we know that many of you share our passion for this wonderful, unspoilt area, and our concern for its preservation. So you will be heartened to know that by holidaying with us, you are supporting important conservation work. “The National Trust is extremely grateful to Heart of the Lakes for their generous, long-term support for the conservation work in the Lake District. They not only raise money for vital work, but also encourage other organisations to support our efforts to maintain this beautiful landscape.” John Atkinson, Project Manager, The National Trust

When you book your holiday with Heart of the Lakes you know that you are helping to support the much needed work done by Nurture Lakeland and Fix the Fells to restore eroded upland pathways, thus enabling visitors to continue enjoying the wonderful National Park. We are delighted to support the work of a National Trust footpath worker who is known as ‘Our Man at the Top’. As you enjoy the unique Lakeland landscape, you know that together with Heart of the Lakes, you are playing a crucial part in conserving its fragile beauty. “The support we receive from Heart of the Lakes is fundamental for us. Over the years, their commitment, and the support of their customers, has raised thousands for Upland Path Repair work. Thank you all very much, and here’s to the future.” Lake District Foundation

at the heart of the lakes... At Heart of the Lakes, we believe strongly in putting something back into the community in which we live and work, which is why we sponsor and support many local events and activities that form such a vital part of the fabric of Lake District life.

Our Man at the Top

The winner receives the Heart of the Lakes Rose Bowl trophy. Ambleside Sports takes place on the last Thursday in July and is a great day out for all the family. We hope to see you there. Langdale Marathon We are delighted to be involved as major sponsors of The Langdale Marathon.

We continue to support vital footpath repair work through the ‘Our Man at the Top’ Scheme which is explained in detail on page 5. Family Business of the Year

A Bit of a Break Heart of the Lakes and a number of our cottage owners support A Bit of A Break which is a charity set up to provide holidays for families dealing with terminal illness. Our property owners’ gift unfilled time in their holiday properties to families, giving them a chance to spend valuable time with their loved ones.

Property Information Whilst every effort is made to ensure that accuracy of information given either orally or written and all representations are made in good faith, no such representations will create any liability on the part of HOTL.
