Welcome to NLAP

Welcome to the online presence of Northern Lakes Accommodation Providers (NLAP).

NLAP is the leading association in the North Lakes representing the needs of the serviced accommodation industry and exists to provide support and advice to its members, by way of information about topical issues and opportunities to meet with others in the business.

If you are a member of the association then please search the information page for past newsletters, important e-mails that have been circulated and links to further resources. Alternatively look out for the next opportunities to meet up with colleagues on the Social Events and Walks pages, or see if you made the photo from those that have passed.

If you are a prospective member then do look at the Establishments page to see our current members (there may be one just around the corner from you) or get in touch via Contact Us. You may be new to the business, new to the area or an established business and unaware of the existence of the association – whichever it is, we believe that you could benefit from becoming a member.

NLAP builds on a history of over 50 years of local hospitality associations. NLAP acts as a conduit for members to meet each other, exchange ideas and experiences: formally, through member meetings, a newsletter, e-mail circulation and this website; and informally, at our varied social events and walks - which also provide an opportunity to take a break from the job and have some fun!

For further information about Northern Lakes Accommodation Providers and glimpses of our activities please explore our website or Contact Us.

Shipwreck on Derwentwater?
