## Twixmas in the Lake District

**After the joyful rush of Christmas and before the New Year begins, take a well-earned pause with a peaceful Twixmas escape on the edge of the Lake District.**

Our beautiful hotel offers couples, families and solo travellers the perfect place to slow down, relax and recharge after the frantic festive period.

Admire the wintry fells, warm up beside the fire after a brisk walk, unwind with a pre-dinner drink in the lounge and indulge in wholesome fayre in the restaurant.

Allow the tranquillity of the Melbreak and her staff help you rest, reset and ready for 2027.
