The Samling Hotel – one of the most exclusive hotels in the English Lake District – is offering guests a £100 refund if it rains during their stay in September.
Generally the Lake District is regarded as one of the wettest parts of Britain, but Cumbria and the Lake District is currently basking in the dryest Summer since 1929 even resulting parts of the county being put on a hosepipe ban as reservoir levels drop 25% or more below normal.
Whether the Samling’s betting will pay off remains to be seen, but bookmakers William Hill are giving odds of around 50% on guests being able to claim their refund.
