South Lakes cottages

Hand-picked cottages in the South Lake District

Enjoy perusing our collection of South Lakes cottages in the spectacular Windermere area of the national park. Find an array of Lake District holiday cottages offering different styles of accommodation for couples, families and groups seeking to get away from it all and immerse themselves in the magnificent landscape. All these properties are perfectly placed for guests keen to go hill and fell walking; they are also well-located for those eager to indulge in activities out on the water. Some of our cottages in the South Lake District are dog-friendly and therefore ideal for four-legged friends who love to stretch their furry legs. Step inside any of our self-catering holiday homes in the South Lakes to receive a warm welcome and find a place that will become a true home from home.

Get out and about from any of our South Lake District cottages and spend time in the bustling hubs of Ambleside, Grasmere, Bowness-on-Windermere, Coniston or Kendal. Wander winding streets and spend time browsing in independent stores. Shop for local produce, such as gingerbread in Grasmere, Cumbrian sausage in Ambleside and, of course, mint cake in Kendal. From our cottages in the South Lakes visit attractions such as Kendal Castle, Dove Cottage, where poet William Wordsworth lived from 1799 to 1808, and Wray Castle, once home to Beatrix Potter.
