Oaklands Country Lodges

Welcome to Oaklands Country Lodge...

Saturday 18 January 2014

Perk up in the Peaks!

January can be a bit of a miserable time for most of us. We’re back at work, it’s pretty chilly and our next holiday seems a long way away! So why not improve your mood by booking your 2014 holiday - or even just a short break to give you a little bit of respite before you take a longer holiday? You’ll find that once you’ve committed to some time away, you’ll feel much more relaxed and at lot chirpier!



One of the best things about Oaklands Country Lodges is that whatever the weather there’s always something to do. You could sit in the lap of lodge luxury, in front of your lodge’s log burning stove – or in your own private hot tub (all of our lodges have one) – and wile away the hours reading and admiring the country views.

If you’re feeling more energetic, then there is a lot to do.  We’re on the doorstep of the Peak District, which you might think of a place you’d only visit in the sunshine, but how wrong you’d be! There are some great wet weather ideas from Visit Peak District is you log on to http://www.visitpeakdistrict.com/thematic/wetweatherdays.aspx, you’ll be surprised how much you can do when our wonderful weather gives us wind and rain. From vintage trams and theme parks to cable car rides and museums, if you’ve got the energy, there’s no need to let a bit of rain worry you!

Of course if you’re happy to ‘weather’ the elements, then the amazing Peak District still very much open for business. There’s a plethora of cycling routes, walking guides and bridal paths for you to explore – and don’t think that you have to be super fit to enjoy these activities. There are plenty of more gentle activities for us that don’t like to push ourselves too hard when it comes to holiday fun.
