Just one more reason why an autumn break here in the Lake District would be a fabulous way to spend a weekend.Our award-winning guest house is set amongst some of the most beautiful areas of the entire country and walking and countryside exploration is obviously one of the main reasons why people are drawn to the area. Of course, it doesnt take a lot to realise why: the Lake District has for years captured all of what it means to escape and to enjoy the peace and seclusion of the English countryside and the wealth of culture and history that has grown up alongside it.Hill Crest Country Guest House is part of that history and culture and we make our claims boldly to be one of the greatest parts of it. Our guests regularly rate us with glowing marks and our credentials are strong: we have been given awards by the AA, the Cumbrian Tourism Awards and we regularly sit stop the ratings for guest houses in the whole area for TripAdvisor. Oh, and not forgetting the many glowing reviews that our customers leave for us on our own website! So with the temptation of a warm getaway in the heart of the English countryside resolutely at the forefront of your mind this autumn, make sure that thought turns to peaceful fruition by booking a stay at Hill Crest Country Guest House the publics favourite spot for an autumn Lake District getaway.Mid week offer - through from November - Mid March ( Excluding School holidays) 3 nights from pounds90 per person.

But without a high quality, nutritious breakfast inside of you those opportunities will remain strictly off limits, so its vitally important that when you book your little trip away you look out for indicators of a high quality award winning breakfast.Just like the one which Hill Crest Country Guest House proudly displays from the AA, which indicates a very special breakfast we couldnt have put it better ourselves! Our championed offerings feature premium, fresh, often local ingredients which contain all the vital goodness that comes with a hearty, country-prepared meal straight from the local farms and suppliers. The breakfast itself, of course, includes bacon, eggs and all the other expected items, plus a very highly regarded offering of Cumberland sausages from Aireys Farm Shop which are also award-winning in their own right. You might think that these breakfasts are something out of this world because of all the awards that they are swimming in, and they are in terms of taste, but they stick to the principles of using high quality, local ingredients prepared in a loving, traditional way simple, but highly effective, and raved about by our past guests on our reviews page on TripAdvisor and on our own reviews page where it often goes down a storm with English guests and foreign tourists alike.So sample the atmosphere and culinary delights of an award-winning establishment widely recognised as the finest in Newby Bridge and one of the best in the whole area.

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 youve 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. Whats 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. http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/welcoming-in-2012-at-hillcrest http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/welcoming-in-2012-at-hillcrest Sat, 24 Sep 2011 10:54:56 +0000 Hill Crest Country Guest House has recently undergone a major refurbishment, and all our rooms now come with contemporary, modern en-suites.Visit our gallery to see some photographs of the rooms in all their splendour, or visit the rooms page to learn more about the rooms themselves! http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/refurbishment-complete http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/refurbishment-complete Sat, 24 Sep 2011 10:53:17 +0000 We're pleased to launch the new Hill Crest Guest House website, which provides visitors with more information, photos and news regarding the guest house and the local area.Please check back regularly to discover the latest news and offers! http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/new-hill-crest-website http://www.hotelnewbybridge.co.uk/news/new-hill-crest-website
