As we reach autumn and winter, many of us will be on the look out for a cosy staycation that's close to home for the perfect break.
The Forest Side in the Lake District has won 'The Best Country Hotel of the Year' and has been recognised for its 'Michelin-starred cuisine, elegant bedrooms'. The AA Rosette awarded restaurant offers the ultimate cosy escape in the village of Grasmere.
The hotel sits nestled amongst a 'forest canopy' at the foot of the Lake District fells. Set in a Victorian mansion, it was previously a private home which now gives guests the perfect base for a staycation.
