A husband-and-wife team have fulfilled their lifelong dream of owning a home in the Cumbrian countryside by turning it into their first hospitality venture thanks to support from The Cumberland Building Society.

After several years of adjustment, 2025 is building on a year of steady revival for the UK’s Holiday Let sector.

The Cumberland has joined L&G Ignite as lender partner, giving brokers access to residential and Holiday Let mortgage products.
