Original Cottages Lake District and Cumbria

Discover the Lake District through the eyes, windows, doors, front and back gardens of its people…

We are Original Cottages Lake District and Cumbria, a family of holiday homes and cottages that open the door to this unique part of the country.

At Original Cottages, we know a holiday is about more than the property. It’s the memories you make whilst you’re there, the local experiences uncovered and getting back in touch with what matters most among family and friends. This is why our properties are looked after by locals, who know the Lake District like the back of their hand, because this is where they call home. 

Our collection of self-catering holiday cottages offers holidaymakers a beautiful selection spread between Elterwater and the Langdale Valleys, Windermere, Grasmere, and Ambleside as well as a scattering of homes-from-home in the surrounding areas. With walkers, cyclists, families and canine friends in mind, we have just the cosy cottage, riverside retreat or contemporary abode you’re looking for.

We’re incredibly proud of our history as a family business, that we stay true to our friendly and personalised customer service and that our local teams are hand on to help you plan your holiday and choose the ideal property. Whether it’s Corner Cottage as a base for that trip to Frair’s Crag and a stop off in town for a tasty ‘fell pot’, or The Old Dairy a historical home after a day rambling around Wray Castle’s Gothic turrets, our local teams can provide the expert local knowledge that you need to make your holiday original, and one to remember.

If you would like to find out more about our Lake District holiday cottages or advice on the local area, we are more than happy to help. Just give us a call or drop in to see our friendly staff at our Elterwater office.
