Six beautiful Lakeland cottages

We are a small family run cottage letting business in Central Lakeland. Our six traditional cottages are in Langdale (Chapel Stile), Grasmere, Ambleside and Coniston. They are all in prime locations with open fires, unlimited WiFi and inclusive of reasonable usage gas/electricity.

We directly manage five of the cottages ourselves and the sixth (Bank View, Chapel Stile) is handled through a local letting agency. Because we only advertise properties which we own ourselves, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal service and we regularly receive accolades from satisfied customers many of whom (more than 60% in a typical year) are repeat visitors.

In common with all our cottages, some information on how to book, what’s included and other details are provided below.

Booking Procedure

To provisionally book a stay at our cottages at 1 Far End (Coniston), 2 & 7 Lingmoor View (Chapel Stile), 6 Church Street (Ambleside) and 3 Tarn Cottages (Grasmere), you can call 015394 41680, email cottagescumbria@gmail.com or preferably complete an online booking form found under the “Tariff” tab for your selected cottage. If you prefer you can download and print a PDF booking form which you can send to us.

If the cottage is available it will be provisionally reserved for you.

On receipt of your booking form and deposit we will confirm your reservation by email or post.

What’s included and What’s not

Unlimited WiFi broadband, gas/electricity and coal (reasonable usage) along with an initial supply of kindling and firelighters are included in all of our cottages, as are all bedding/bed linen and tea towels. Bath towels are not provided. See below for gas and electricity.

A cot and high chair can be provided. We make a charge of £10 for each (but we do not provide cot bedding).

Bathroom towels

We do not normally provide bath and hand towels but can do so, if required, subject to an additional charge of £4 per person.

Gas and electricity

Our tariffs include reasonable usage of gas, electricity and coal. With the recent high cost of energy we would expect customers to be considerate about not leaving heating appliances on for excessive lengths of time.

Telephone

There is a land line telephone for the convenience of our visitors in all our cottages. Please leave cash in the cottage at the end of your stay to cover the estimated cost of any telephone calls you make.

Dogs

We allow dogs in all of our cottages subject to our usual conditions – guaranteed house clean, confined to the ground floor and not allowed on the furniture. We make a charge of £10 for a dog.

Directions and access

Directions and all necessary arrival information will be e-mailed or posted to you shortly before the start of your stay. There is a key safe outside the front door of all our cottages and the key safe combination will be included in the arrival information.

As in almost all holiday homes smoking and vaping is not permitted in any of our cottages.
