Waterside cottages in the Lake District

Holidays in Lake District

Embrace the serene beauty of the Lake District with a stay in one of our Lake District waterside cottages, relishing the opportunity to dip your toes in the tranquil waters of deep glacial lakes, mountain tarns and tumbling streams. Our wide range of self-catering accommodation has everything from cosy nooks for couples, to large country cottages with waterside views. Many of our holiday homes throughout the Lake District are also dog-friendly, with many places welcoming multiple dogs and boasting features such as enclosed gardens, and hot tubs! Adrenaline seekers will adore the selection of water sports on offer, navigating the spectacular lakes by boat, trying your hand at paddleboarding, or experiencing the thrill of open swimming amongst the backdrop of sweeping hills. If you prefer a quieter pace of life, there are a plethora of gentle trails to follow across the breathtaking countryside.

Whether you are crossing Lake Windermere by passenger ferry or rowing across Buttermere in search of the elusive red squirrel, you are never far from one of our waterside cottages in the Lake District. The dramatic scenery is inspiring whatever the season, inviting visitors to enjoy frosty walks to Tarn Hows on cold winter days, or ambling along the promenade of Grange-over-Sands in the height of summer. In spring, the countryside comes to life with scores of snowdrops and crocuses, with villages such as Grasmere welcoming chilly visitors with artisan bakes and mugs of steaming hot chocolate. Ambleside is a bustling lakeside town with a wealth of cafes, restaurants and independent shops, offering a healthy dose of retail therapy for travellers keen to pick up some souvenirs.
