 LATE AVAILABILITY: FEBRUARY HALF TERM 2012

Treat yourself this February Half Term with a stay in the Lake District at Paradigm with short breaks of £600 or £1000 for the week.

Paradigm is two luxurious self-catering properties – a farmhouse and a barn - each sleeping up to four.
Originally built in the 1720's, the properties are in six acres of idyllic and peaceful private land and gardens.
Set amongst lawns and orchards and with their own 60-foot waterfall.
You are only four miles from the market town of Cockermouth (birthplace of William Wordsworth) and 13 miles from the popular visitor hub of Keswick or the cycling and walking activities on offer at Whinlatter Forest.
All those booking a stay at Paradigm automatically claim one free adult ticket for the Via Ferrata Original. This is a hugely-popular cliff-edge walking/scrambling experience run at the nearby Honister Slate Mine and the only one of its type in the UK. It was named the Lake District’s Best Tourism Experience 2011 by Cumbria Tourism.
You can soothe away your aches by relaxing in our fabulous outdoor hot tub under the stars looking over the valley.  In the evening, enjoy your pre-ordered meal which Jan, your host, will discretely leave in the oven for you to serve at your leisure. Accompany it with a chilled glass of champagne in your welcome hamper along with some of the finest Lake District foods to help start your stay.
The Barn is a four star gold property and the House five star gold.
Lake Loweswater is door to shore two miles so too is Crummock Water one of the most brooding of all the Lakes. You can visit Wordsworth House in Cockermouth and see the living home of the late poet.
