Work from home holidays in Cumbria

Some of us do our best work at home; brainstorming cross-legged on the sofa, sketching in a notebook at the breakfast table, or typing into the wee hours by candlelight. As companies embrace flexible working, the writers, number-crunchers, and CEO's of the nation seek unique places to work remotely. Enter: luxury work from home holidays in Cumbria. Perhaps you're heading on a family trip with the newborn and dogs in tow, and need a quiet workspace to jot down all the big ideas that a week in the Cumbrian countryside brings. Or maybe your romantic retreat coincides with a can't-miss conference and Wi-Fi is a non-negotiable (but Zoom-ing in from the hot tub is optional).

The beauty of remote working is this: modern folk can up sticks with their spreadsheets and paint brushes and get to work just about anywhere. Solo travellers might opt to stay at a cottage in Haweswater, composing symphonies or cracking codes with only unbroken fell and shoreline views for company. Creative couples travelling with children could lay up in a long-let, trying their hand at home-schooling in the wilderness or teaching their little ones about wildlife in Windermere. If the business is within the family, gather the grandparents and the siblings for a company retreat with a twist. Think stylish studies, tranquil outhouses, and a lake within skimming distance to soak away the day.
