Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then onto Cumbria and your hotel for a four night stay. The Shap Wells Hotel is situated in a secluded wooded valley, high in the Shap Fells and enjoys remote views.
We travel into the Northern Lakelands to enjoy a cruise on beautiful Ullswater. Regarded by many as the most beautiful lake in England, Ullswater is magnificently set amid the splendour of the Lakeland Fells and our cruise takes in the peaceful scenery of this wonderful lake.
We also call at Penrith, the historic capital of Cumbria. Penrith has a good mix of traditional shops and sophisticated arcades and leading off the main streets are many old yard entrances with interesting inscriptions to discover.
We venture to the market town of Keswick today where there will be some free time to explore. The main square here is flanked by independent shops, quaint cafés and art galleries.
We take to the waters once more with a cruise on Derwentwater, in the shadow of mighty Cat Bells. The lake is dotted with islands, and at its calmest is almost mirror-like.
Today we visit bustling Ambleside where there will be a little free time before we take to the shimmering waters of Lake Windermere and cruise to pretty Bowness.
Bowness-on-Windermere is one of the most popular destinations in the region and home to many independent shops, quaint cafés and Beatrix Potter attractions. Potter around the quaint village centre, or find a café and watch the world go by!
Return home.
You will stay for four nights at the 3-star Shap Wells Hotel, situated in a secluded wooded valley, high in the Shap Fells.

I had a fantastic escape with this tour. Hotel Shap Well Hotel - Beautiful setting, staff were excellent 10/10 :-), entertainment is more for the older age group which I did not mind. Their system for checking into the hotel, service of food (3 coaches) was excellent. My room was clean and tidy (but the decor is some years old) Food - Breakfast is excellent. Evening meals were not the best and they seriously need to improve on them.

Excellent service by the coach driver Gary can't fault him or the trip on cruises at all. Wasn't so pleased with the hotel, needs a lot of TLC, main meal wasn't very nice either, breakfast was just about passable but they really need to cook the bacon and sausages properly they under done needed to be cooked more.
