Luxury cottages in Cumbria
Scattered across valleys and hillside contours with sweeping rural vistas, our luxury cottages in Cumbria offer a front-row seat to the region’s untamed beauty. Here, morning mist drapes over fells, red squirrels dart across ancient woodlands, and the call of curlews echo through woodland. Pack sturdy hiking boots for long rambles on Lakeland trails.
Cumbria, comprising the historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and parts of North Lancashire and North Yorkshire, stands as England's second-largest county. There are several centres to visit: the old mill town of Staveley and Kirkby Lonsdale, with a weekly market selling grass-fed beef and local honey. However, it is the sublime beauty of the Lake District National Park that defines the county. Hike through the landscapes surrounding Keswick and Windermere or explore picturesque villages like Grasmere and Hawkshead, immortalised by Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
Our luxury Cumbrian homes are idyllic bases for exploring the peaks and valleys of this majestic county. For a romantic escape, retreat to a sleek modernist lake house set on the shores of Haweswater. In the summer, this spot calls for wild swimming and al fresco dining, while winter is best spent on glitter-frosted paths. If it’s a family getaway, dogs included, choose an eclectic 17th-century farmhouse, cocooned within 13 private acres. From here, scenic hiking trails unfurl straight from the doorstep, weaving through the village of Underbarrow and towards Windermere.
