The Lake District is a hugely popular location these days, and not just for elderly tourists who are looking for a relaxing mini-break and as such have taken a coach trip with their friends to this delightful corner of the United Kingdom. It is important to recognise that in recent years, the many misconceptions with regard to the Lakes have been blown clear out of the water, as it were, and these days, thousands of people flock to the Lake District every single year in order to enjoy a wide range of activities. Still, for every visitor to these wonderfully popular parts, there needs to be some accommodation and thankfully, there are plenty of Lake District hotels taking bookings right now for the forthcoming Spring and Summer months. However, not everyone will have the same amount of cash to spend on a luxurious five star hotel, so here are a couple of options which might benefit those of us with a slightly smaller budget than we might have preferred.

Safe to say however that whatever your budget, there will be a Lake District hotel, or equivalent to suit you and your family or your needs, simply choosing the right hotel for the price is the hardest part as most hotels in this area and in particular Windermere Hotel the Ellerthwaite boasts a great location and accomodating prices.

Starting at the very bottom in terms of price, the Lakes offer a very pleasing variety of Youth Hostels which can enable those of us with very tight budgets to stay in very pleasant surroundings without having to come close to breaking the bank. However, as these are not strictly hotels, you might find yourself a little turned off by the idea. No worries, because climbing the ladder slightly, you will come across a huge variety of delightful Lake District hotels which do not cost the Earth, but offer you many varying perks. Still, for everyone who is looking to visit this unique spot without spending a large amount of cash, there will no doubt be folks who are seeking five-star treatment and are willing to hand over the cash for such an experience.

Well, if five stars are important to you, then you too are in luck as there are dozens upon dozens of Lake District hotels which offer luxurious services.

Whatever your budget and indeed whatever you wish to experience from your next break in the Lakes, there is without doubt a Lake District hotel to suit you, as long as you know what you’re looking for of course.

When looking for travel wear price is not always the most important factor. Finding a balance between quality and price can be very tricky, and may seem impossible at times. The North Face is a brand that delivers time after time due to the high quality manufacture and the reasonable price. It may be cheaper to shop elsewhere in the short-term, however in order to gain value for money and a product that will last the distance then The North Face is the right choice.

Many brands in this category also provide good value for money, however where The North Face really excel in in the choice of product available, and the design. There is a clever balance between practicality and fashion. Look at the range of trousers for example. Many offer all the qualities necessary for outdoors; protective and lightweight. The North Face take the design one step further and provide a zip off trouser for easy conversion to shorts.

The range of walking boots and shoes is extensive, with all designs being hardwearing. Footwear is suited to all aspects of the outdoors whilst being nice enough looking to wear on a short trip to the supermarket. All at an excellent price as well.

The North Face provides outdoorwear as it should be; comfortable and protective but also easy to wear.

We are slowly entering the primary stages of summer, the season when we (try) and spend as much time as we can outside, partaking in whichever outdoor activity excites as the most. One of the more popular summer pursuits include hiking, and in the fine climate that the summer usually offers, it is a great way to see and spend your time in the great-outdoors.

If you are going to unwind, relax and go for a stroll or hike, make sure you keep yourself chilled by investing in a pair of proper walking shoes. There is no quicker way to ruin a leisurely walk in the sun than by wearing aggravating footwear. Footwear which do not provide adequate support for important foot areas such as the ankle and sole will spoil your day.

It is important to invest is a pair that not only offer support, but comfort too. Some say a good shoe with proper support translates into comfort, but ensure the shoes fit snug around your foot. There is a lot of walking to be done so you want to ensure you have a pair which fit your feet well.

A well supported and fantastically comfortable collection available are Keen shoes. A wide range of men and women’s shoes which are suited to different intensities of walking; from a stroll in the park to a mountainous trek.   

The Men’s Targhee 2 shoe is likened to ‘4-wheel drive’ for your feet, and is a popular choice for hikers and ramblers alike. They are fitted with a waterproof barrier and aggressive outsole with traction controlling 4mm lugs.

Wherever you step outside into this summer, make sure you are suitably booted. Don’t let chaffing footwear and aching ankles take the shine off a day in the sun.
