3 Bed in Little Langdale (oc-gl102) | Cottage in Little Langdale

Slaters Cottage is a quintessential Lakeland cottage dating from the 19th Century and steeped in history. It sits at the bottom of a lane leading to the ford over the river Brathay in the picturesque and tranquil Little Langdale valley. Perfect for walking in every direction with your holiday party including those four-legged family members. Fantastic fells beckon in all directions with Lingmoor Fell, Pike O'Blisco and Bow Fell to the north whilst to the south explore Wetherlam, Swirl How and the Coniston Fells. This unique cottage is also just 10 minute’s walk from the amazing Cathedral Cave and picturesque Slaters Bridge, from which it takes its name, plus paddling in the Ford at the bottom of the lane for the very young or the young at heart! Then end your day of exploring with great food and drink at the family friendly Three Shires Inn just up the lane or at one of the nearby celebrated eateries, such as The Drunken Duck Inn.
There is something for everyone, come rain or shine, because as an added bonus this cottage provides complimentary leisure passes for guests at the luxurious Langdale Hotel & Spa in nearby Elterwater. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, gym, hot tub, sauna, steam room - the perfect space to unwind and relax after a day out walking. Bike rental is also available from The Langdale Hotel & Spa, along with tennis court and exercise classes.
This pretty end terraced character cottage offers tranquillity and peace too, with stunning views enjoyed from within the property and from the outside garden area. Totally silent at night with almost no light pollution, it is a wonderful place to star gaze, while by day you are enveloped in the true Lakeland sounds and country atmosphere.
Stepping inside the cottage to the hall, there is the downstairs bathroom with bath and shower over and quality well equipped kitchen with slate floor and underfloor heating, granite surfaces, washer dryer and dishwasher. Across the hall is the cosy open plan dining and sitting room which has a striking stone fireplace with wood burner, oak beams and stripped wooden floors, which is perfect to hunker down in the chillier evenings. There is also a good selection of games, books and guides to enjoy here too. This delightful cottage has lots of original features with oak beams, wooden floors, latch doors, monkey tail window catches and those views. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and the third bedroom is downstairs. All are furnished sympathetically to the age of the property such as wrought iron beds with a style of a bygone era.
Outside, there is a pretty elevated seating area with landscaping making use of local slate, greenery and foliage which are indigenous to the area. There are natural steps up to the seating area, which may not be suitable for those with mobility problems. There is also off-road parking for one car, which is just outside the cottage.
Close by, you have the pretty village of Elterwater, with the welcoming Britannia Inn, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Langdale Pikes and Great Langdale Valley. Heading north, past Skelwith Bridge, there is another favourite lunchtime stop at Chesters by the river. Beyond is Ambleside with its independent shops and restaurants and along the lake shore you can take a pleasure boat heading down the length of Windermere or try water activities such as Kayaking or Sailing. Equally, you can head to Grasmere, Rydal Water and Wordsworth’s Cottage or to the south, explore the village of Coniston with its local Ruskin Museum, or head to Hill Top, the charming restored home and garden of Beatrice Potter.
Slaters Cottage is a delightful period cottage in an ideal location for exploring Lakeland or equally, leaving the car behind, staying local and enjoying this magical piece of Lakeland heaven. For unforgettable experiences for your entire holiday party, this is absolutely perfect.
