Your Lake District Holiday Cottage Awaits
Wheelwrights Cottages is a long-established holiday letting business founded approximately 40 years ago by the Price family. We took over the business in 2015, modernising operations with an updated website and bespoke booking system. Our portfolio includes over 100 properties in the Langdale and Ambleside areas, complemented by a York-based operation managing historic city-centre properties. Based in a converted stone carriage building in Elterwater, we specialise in connecting guests with charming local hideaways, from converted barns to historic parsonages. Our team, including Denise, Julie, and Suzanne, offers in-depth local expertise, ensuring guests find accommodations tailored to their needs.We maintain strong relationships with property owners, providing comprehensive management services, including bookings, guest care, and property maintenance. Our housekeeping team, Kim and Stephen, work alongside local cleaners, while Jane ensures financial accuracy. With decades of combined experience, we offer practical advice on local attractions, from walks to dining, and provide prompt support during stays. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has made us a trusted name in the Lake District holiday market.
