Welcoming in 2012 at Hillcrest!

A new year means a new start for many of us, and for some that includes realising some hastily prepared resolutions about dropping a dress size or giving up an indulgence! But how about you consider what a trip to the Lakes can do for your year, focusing your mind and body thanks to some dedicated rest and relaxation.

When you look back over your years it won't be the memories of fad diets and temporary gym memberships that bring you pleasure, but the time you spent sharing and creating memories with those nearest and dearest to you. And what better place in the world is there to enshrine those pivotal moments than the Lake District?

With the beauty of rural England all around, the temptation to go on the walks and sightseeing trips that you’ve not yet managed will be irresistible, especially at this time of the year thanks to the reduced numbers of overseas tourists visiting England in late winter and early spring. What’s more, if you visit in the next few months you will enjoy the Lakes in some of their most stunning beauty – still winter and spring mornings, when there is a nip in the air and a thin covering of light frost, can give the local area a truly magical and almost dream-like effect.

Whenever you decide to visit, ensure that you stay at the Hill Crest Country Guest House so that your time in the Lake District is preserved in affordable yet comfortable four star luxury.
