Book Your Holiday Cottage in the Lake District with Confidence
Welcome to our beautiful region
We take great care to ensure your safety in our properties, and we thank you for your cooperation and support with this. Please do not arrive and try to check in until the confirmed check in time.
Our office is open from:
Monday to Thursday 9:30am to 4:30pm, Friday & Saturday 9:30am to 5pm

Please contact us if you need any help with your booking or during your stay.
You’ll find our team hard at work in a traditional, converted stone carriage building in sleepy Elterwater, at the gateway of the stunning Great Langdale Valley. From here, we help people find all sorts of charming local hideaways, from converted barns to rambling stone-built parsonages. So whatever sort of Lake District break you’re looking for, give us a shout and we’ll use our in-depth local expertise to find you a place you’ll love.
Phone us and you’ll be talking to Denise, Helen, Pip or Julie – all with years of knowledge about what makes our region great. Whether you’re looking for walks, cream teas, paddling, peddling or paragliding, they’ll point you in the right direction. And if you need anything sorting out during your stay, just give us a buzz and our team of locally based housekeepers, handymen and problem solvers will be on it in a flash.
Best wishes, and take care.
The team at Wheelwrights Cottages

Neighbourhood information
Grasmere is famous for being home to William Wordsworth. He once described it as “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found”. The Wordsworth Cottage and museum are a short stroll from the cottage and well worth a visit. Today, the town is a bustling hive of activity and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Lake District. It is home to the famous Sarah Nelson’s Gingerbread. Its traditional bakery and quaint shop shouldn’t be missed.
Grasmere has several art galleries, gift shops, cafes, pubs, a selection of outdoor equipment retailers and a Co-op convenience store.
The bustling popular town of Ambleside is a short five mile drive away or a pleasant walk through the woods behind the cottage. The small town of Keswick with its wide range of shops, quaint alleyways and busy market square is approximately thirteen miles away and can also be accessed by bus.
For those who wish to explore further afield, the buses are frequent connecting guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!
