Hi guys welcome to aclaireytale!!! I'm so excited to be working with ‪@StagecoachBus‬ company on this video in the Lake District!! Thank you for your support on this vlog, it means so much to me that I can do things like this and show you all the things you can do in the Lake District. You all know the Lake District means a lot to my family and I, we've been going since forever and always have the best trips.
In this vlog, I show you things to do in Bowness and Ambleside. We commute to and from these little towns in the Lake District via the Stagecoach open topped buses and honestly we had such fun!!
Firstly we stop off at the Low Wood Bay Hotel where we will be staying the night. We have a drink in the cafe and then get on the 599 bus to Bowness. In Bowness we have a lovely lunch at Porto. Then we head to the Beatrix Potter, World of Potter attraction Museum. Then we head to the lake and get on a cruise! Windermere Lakes Cruises are so relaxing, we did a 45minute circle around Lake Windermere. Then we get back to the Low Wood and I show you our room and hotel. We eat dinner at the hotel Blue Smoke Bay and then head out for a walk with the most beautiful pink sunset.
The next morning we head into Ambleside! We get the bus from the Low Wood into Ambleside. I show you a really nice walk called The Waterfalls which is a walk behind the Salutation Hotel. After the walk we head to Apple Pie cafe for a drink and our lunch at the bakery. Then it's time for our spa treatments at the Salutation Hotel! We had a really relaxing time. Then it was time to get the bus back to the hotel and head home!
Thank you for watching!

[@aclaireytale]

Aww I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for watching! Low Wood is my absolute fave, hope you had a great stay!

[@bubbleandsparkles6357]

@@aclaireytale I’ve watched all your Lake District vlogs now and definitely got some great ideas of places to visit 😃 x

[@aclaireytale]

@@bubbleandsparkles6357 oh yay!!! Hope you Iove it there!

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

It was a godsend when we discovered usb ports on the buses the last time we were in Oxford/London.

[@aclaireytale]

Haha I bet!

[@cindyandkurt]

The second watch was even better! Really got to appreciate how lovley the Lake District really is!!!

[@aclaireytale]

Aw I’m so glad thank you 🥰

We first visited The World of Beatrix Potter attraction around 1997 with our four kids, and it hasn't changed much at all since then. The one thing I was saddened to see was that the Mrs Tiggywinkle's kitchen display is now screened off. Back in the day when it was still an open exhibit, the joy my five-year-old daughter got just from sitting at Mrs Tiggywinkle's kitchen table brought smiles to everyone's face.

[@aclaireytale]

Yeah I remember that too!! That is a shame it's screened off now! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@d.redrobinphillips9959]

What a beautiful staycation. It was so lovely. And yes... Beatrix Potter is very popular here. At least she was when I was young way back in the dark ages. Before all the electronics, Mom and I would spend hours in the library and nothing was more exciting than choosing several books to take home. Nice to see your family and your meals looked delicious. This video was very relaxing and peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing. Di

[@aclaireytale]

Aww that's so nice, lovely memories! Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@disneydonnat]

Looks like everyone had a great time, thanks for showing us around. Your love for the Lakes really shows xx

[@aclaireytale]

Aww we really did, thanks Donna! So glad that comes across!

[@jasahfamily]

What a beautiful little vacation! Really enjoyed seeing the Beatrix Potter Museum. Peter Rabbit is the most popular in the U.S., but, I have all the books. They are wonderful stories!

[@aclaireytale]

Aw they're great stories aren't they?! Thank you for watching!

[@lucywells6579]

That looked like a fun mini break, I'm impressed that you and Simon managed to walk up to those waterfalls in flip flops !!

[@aclaireytale]

Haha well spotted! Aw we really did, thank you so much!

[@ginagina9720]

I love Windermere and only the other day I said to my husband I would like to go to the Lake District I’m going to watch your video now thank you for sharing this..

[@aclaireytale]

Aw yay! I hope you decide to go back! Love it there so much!! Thank you for watching!

[@annestephenson1548]

What a great trip Claire ! How beautiful it all is ! Loved the Stagecoach bus, makes things easy plus gorgeous scenery as you go! Thanks so much for sharing , really enjoyed it .Going on my to do list 😀

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you Anne! Definitely so easy! We loved it up there haha. So glad you enjoyed the vlog, yes definitely recommend!

[@alancampbell6339]

You influencer you. 😂. Joking aside, it was nice for you to get some reward for showing us around a part of Britain that is as close to your heart as Florida is and the bus is a lovely way to explore the Lake District especially in the weather you enjoyed on this trip. I feel guilty to admit that despite only living two hours away, I have only every visited “The Lakes” three times and that was for a pre look at the Inn on the Lake Hotel at Glenridding for my wife’s niece’s wedding in 2013, the wedding itself the same year and in 2019 we took her and her mum back just after her and her anniversary for lunch. After watching this I felt even more guilty. So many things to do, great food to eat and those portions. No trip is complete with a stay at “The Low Bay Hotel”, the wedding taking place brought so many memories for you and the views from the infinity pool. Wow. Finally that bridge on your walk with Simon was nowhere near as scary as when you walked above the alligators on your backstage tour of Animal Kingdom a few years ago. 🤣.

[@aclaireytale]

Awww thank you!! Yes you'll have to go back one day!! Haha well remembered yes on the Trek!!! Thanks for watching Alan!

[@valeriefrankovich7225]

Hi Claire! This was beautiful!! The Beatrix Potter Museum was adorable! Always loved Peter Rabbit & Tom Kitten! I know how much you all want to come here, but this was truly the best Staycation!! Loved it💕

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you Valerie!! It was super cute! Haha you're so right, we have some wonderful places on our doorstep!

[@lozzyroo84]

So nice to see the world of Beatrix potter. We went in October and it was a little different with the restrictions but still so nice to do. We also went to Hill Top but again couldn’t go round her house but gives an excuse to go to the Lake District again.

[@aclaireytale]

Oh amazing that you went to Hill Top! It's been years for me so I'll have to go back. Thank you so much for watching, glad you had a good time in October!

[@cindyandkurt]

Absolutely loved this. Definitely going to watch again. So wish we can visit someday! Have a lovley week. Stay safe and take care 🥰🥰

[@aclaireytale]

Thank you so much guys!! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kirstie-with-an-ie1655]

Great video enjoyed so much. We visit the Lakes a lot and the traffic is getting worse and worse, sitting on top of an open top bus enjoying the view seems a much better idea! K x

[@aclaireytale]

Aw definitely! Yeah traffic was pretty busy when we were there too so it was nice to sit back and relax! Thank you so much for watching!

[@joshianna]

Nice informative video & you made me to add 'Lake District', into my to do list 😃. That open deck bus got amazing views though. Thanks a bunch for sharing this clip 👍

[@aclaireytale]

Aw I'm so glad, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for watching!

[@harrietb9648]

Looks like a gorgeous place for a staycation! 🤩🤩

[@aclaireytale]

Aww it really is! Thank you for watching!

[@francese173]

Really lovely video, thought the stagecoach open top bus was great and like you said you see more on the bus. Great tips on the hotels and places to visit. I really like your enthusiasm. Thank-you for an informative picturesque video.

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you Frances, that really means a lot what you say about me and my video!!! So glad you enjoyed it

[@beatds1]

I remember being read or reading myself Peter Rabbit books. Even had a stuff Peter Rabbit animal myself. I think I may have encountered her other stories as well. My cousins and I have grown up with either our parent or grandparents reading us those stories. In the US, I believe it's still fairly big.

[@aclaireytale]

Oh amazing! Glad she was popular over there then too. Thank you for watching Bailey!

[@cheryldailey5310]

The lake district reminds me of my state. I live in a river valley surrounded by little mountains. So pretty! I would love to visit the UK.

[@aclaireytale]

Oh wow! Sounds similar then! Thank you so much for watching!

[@MsToady]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you Margy! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PixieDustAway00]

I’m not sure if my favorite part was the museum (love Peter Rabbit) or that hot chocolate 😍 Looks like a beautiful place to visit!

[@aclaireytale]

Aww haha thank you so much! That hot choc is insane!! I'm dying to go back for another!!

[@kathleengonzalez8943]

Aww I'm so glad, thank you Jenn!

[@susanhall3438]

Great vlog Claire. We love the Lakes. We have been staying at the same hotel for over 25 years, its in Bowness and called The Ryebeck. There is so much to do in the lakes. Next time we go we may try the bus trips as they look great. Best wishes xx

[@aclaireytale]

Oh amazing I will have to look into this hotel!! Once you get attached to a hotel that's it isn't it haha. There really is so much to do up there! Yes definitely recommend the open top buses! We had so much fun

[@Nicole-vs8tt]

[@aclaireytale]
