Luxury Cottages in the Lake District
The Lake District is a landscape of contrasts: rugged mountain ranges rising against serene waters, wildflower-dotted meadows leading to cobblestone villages. This inspiring region is a playground for nature lovers, artists, and writers alike; our collection of luxury cottages provides an idyllic base to explore its beauty your way.
The Lake District is renowned for its dramatic peaks and tranquil valleys; serious hikers tackle the vertiginous slopes of Scafell Pike, while leisurely walkers meander between villages. Boating enthusiasts can rent a vessel or join a guided day trip; Windermere, Ullswater, and Coniston Water remain iconic stretches for adventures on the water. Rich in literary and artistic heritage, this idyllic corner of the North West has inspired generations. Beatrix Potter’s home in Near Sawrey has been lovingly preserved, while Dove Cottage in Grasmere offers a glimpse into the life of William Wordsworth.
From a modern lakeside home set right on Haweswater's shoreline to a 17th-century farmhouse in the pint-sized village of Underbarrow, the Lake District offers luxury self-catering homes to suit all visitors. After a long day exploring craggy fells and tracing pathways along glistening lakes, enjoy an al fresco evening feast whipped up by a private chef. Finish your evening snuggled up by the embers of a fire pit under a blanket of stars or retreat indoors to a vaulted sitting room with deep sofas and eclectic art collection – the perfect setting for wine-stoked conversations late into the night.
