Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 06:57 · Archive

Ambleside and Grasmere have ranked sixth and eighth in a UK top 10 of holiday destinations with the highest repeat visitor rates.

Ambleside and Grasmere have been named among the UK's top repeat-booking holiday destinations, according to a top 10 compiled by Sykes Holiday Cottages. The company analysed five years of repeat booking data to produce the rankings. Ambleside was ranked sixth in the UK, while Grasmere took eighth place.

Cornwall dominated the very top of the rankings, taking all three podium positions. Polzeath topped the list, followed by Rock in second place and Crantock in third. Devon's Thurlestone and Salcombe completed the top five.

Sykes Holiday Cottages highlighted specific properties available in each Lake District destination. In Ambleside, the company selected the Old Toffee Shop, a converted sweet shop sleeping four people. The property retains exposed beams, slate and wooden floors, and features an open-plan kitchen and living area with a wood-burning stove. Sykes noted that the property's central location places visitors within reach of Stock Ghyll Force, Windermere and walking routes into the surrounding fells. Seven nights were advertised from £851.

For Grasmere, Sykes selected Goody Raise, a property sleeping up to six people with views across the surrounding countryside. The house includes a furnished terrace and outdoor barbecue area and is close to the village's lakeside paths and walking routes into the fells. Seven nights were advertised from £1,455.

The inclusion of both Ambleside and Grasmere gives Cumbria two places among the UK's top 10 most-revisited holiday destinations.
