It’s Valentine’s Day weekend very very soon; and if you are still looking for a breakaway to someplace pretty and romantic, we do have last minute Valentine’s Day weekend late availability at Blenheim Lodge, our bed and breakfast guest house situated in the heart of the English Lake District National Park. Here are some details of the rooms we have for this weekend.

Romance with a French feel

Stay in my favourite room, The Dalesway. This room overlooks tranquil National Trust acres and has a peaceful ‘I’ve gotten away from it all’ feel’. Painted shabby chic French antiques complement the restful Laura Ashley decor in this bedroom. My three favourite pieces are the ornately hand-carved romantic rococo bed, the bergere daybed with its original 1890s paintwork, and a beautiful 1920s mirror set within an intricately carved frame.

You can also see The Dales Way trail to the left of the photo if you look closely. The small hedge at the forefront of the photo separates Blenheim Lodge from the acres of beautiful National Trust land that border our back garden.

‘A sweet cose, Valentine?’

The Poppies is a sweet little double room situated on the ground floor of our guest house with views to the north of Lake Windermere and the mountains beyond. I have fond memories of this room because it was the one my husband and I stayed in when we first visited Blenheim Lodge many moons ago. We have since refurbished the room with vintage and modern pieces that give character to this bijou room.

The Poppies at Blenheim Lodge B&B is a pretty bijou small double room on the ground floor with a walk-in shower en-suite and a view to the north of Lake Windermere and the mountains beyond.

A carved wrought iron bed, its curves bringing a touch of romance to The Poppies, is complemented by vintage furnishing pieces.

Romance on a cloud

We have been told often and often that our bespoke handmade bed in The Blue Room has just the most comfortable mattress – so comfortable that sleeping on it has been likened to ‘floating on a cloud’! Perhaps you might like to try it? The Blue Room is furnished with a handsome solid brass bed, sitting on which is a deep and luxurious bespoke pocket sprung mattress, just like all the other mattresses on our beds. However, I really like this expression that one guest used for sleeping on this bed, hence singling it out for the quote!

Bright blue skies and deep blue Lake – what a fantastic combination. Add the yachts dotted on the waters, and it makes for a picture perfect view from our room windows at Blenheim Lodge.

Lazing with my Valentine

If you want a room with views and a place to laze on where you can share those views with your heartthrob, then The Fairfield could be the one for you! Laze on the French antique daybed set in 8-feet wide triple floor to ceiling bay windows to admire far-reaching views of Lake Windermere and the Lakeland fells to the north and beyond. A separate 5-foot kingsize bed provides a comfortable bespoke pocket sprung mattress for a great night’s sleep.

The Fairfield is our largest bedroom at Blenheim Lodge, featuring views to the north of Lake Windermere and the fells as far as the eye can see. This room can sleep up to three people.
