Boasting sandy beaches, rolling hills, and sprinklings of wildlife, the Lake District is a no-brainer for magical getaways – but with so much on offer, you can’t just wing the holiday planning. I know, just call Sally!  

Founded by Sally Fielding in 2003 with just one cottage, Sally’s Cottages has grown a massive 500+ property portfolio spread across the Lake District and Cumbria. No longer a one-woman job, the biz now has a dedicated on-the-ground team who hand-pick stunning properties for all tastes. The mahoosive selection exceeds all expectations: cool glamping cabins, grand country piles, dreamy manors (party princesses, check out Cark Manor), and farmhouses – plus, 500+ dog-friendly homes. 

Beyond the holiday home itself, the team has offices in Keswick and Windermere, so they can thoroughly check which holiday home suits you. If your heart desires time in nature, they can point you to the best lakeside properties (there’s a whopping 16 lakes, so you’ll have plenty to choose from). More of a culture vulture? Sally’s Cottages know all about that too – check out their arts and entertainment guide for a sneak peek. Once you’ve settled in, you can rest assured knowing that the friendly staff are in the area should you need any recommendations. Trust us, they know their stuff.  

So, what’ll it be? Luxury mansion or a quirky woodland bolthole?
