We are a family-run business offering a wide range of self-catering holiday accommodation - cottages, apartments and houses, some old, some modern and something for every taste, but all within central Lakeland and therefore in the heart of one of Britain's loveliest corners. All our cottages offer a comfortable base for exploration and relaxation and are all within the National Park, including Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick, Patterdale, the Langdale Valley, Bowness-on-Windermere, Coniston and Hawkshead.

The Lake District really is a holiday destination for all seasons. We have a long season and most properties are equally comfortable in summer or winter. Whatever the purpose of your holiday - maybe walking, sailing, fishing, touring, sketching, painting, visiting historical sites, photography or just relaxing and getting away from it all, you will find something on this web site to suit you. If you are looking for exceptional comfort or a simple base at a modest price, again, we can help you.

Heart of the Lakes are one of the few agents in the Lake District to offer the benefit of FREE Leisure Club Membership with all holiday home bookings. The properties are inspected and graded every year and offer good value for money at every level - we know how important that is to your enjoyable holiday.

We have many regular customers who return time and time again and many of our new customers come by way of recommendation. If you are new to 'Heart of the Lakes' you will find our staff efficient and helpful. Further, because we know all of our properties personally we are able to help you select the best for your holiday requirements.

As part of our commitment to improved service and customer satisfaction all our staff have attended the Welcome Host course run by the Cumbria Tourist Board. Our staff are all trained in customer service and will do everything possible to make you feel welcome and looked after from the time of your first contact with us to the completion of your holiday.

Quality Management is integral to the way we run our business and we are proud to announce that we are the first and only agency in the UK to have achieved the quality mark ISO 9001, an internationally recognised standard that focuses on quality and service.
