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 gas/electricity [1].
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.
[1] At present our tariffs include gas and electricity. There may need to be a surcharge at some time in the future depending on what happens to energy costs but we are hopeful this will not be necessary.
