The cottage is set within our own 20 acres, located in the hamlet of Skelwith, with close proximity to the magnificent scenery of both the Great Langdale and Little Langdale Valley. The iconic LANGDALE PIKES are clearly visible from the cottage patio and garden, which also provides a stunning 360 degree view of all the surrounding fells. Due to it's peaceful, elevated setting in the heart of the Lake District National Park, there is an abundance of wildlife and birdlife in the vicinity and an unrivalled opportunity to view some wonderful sunsets over the Pikes and Crinkle Crags.
Some of the finest walking in the Lakes is to be had from the cottage, where a garden gate and path across an adjoining field enable guests to access Black Crag, Tarn Hows and the beginning of Little Langdale among many other great walks.

Lovely cottage! Highly recommended!
By Nicola on 29-Dec-2023We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it's perfectly equipped with everything you need and has wonderful views. The location is perfect and close to lots of nice walks, also close enough to local towns like Ambleside and Windermere, if you want to venture a bit further! The hosts Andy and Judy are very friendly and helpful and we couldn't thank them enough as we hit a bit of car bother which they were very helpful with. Thanks for having us and would highly recommend staying here!
Wonderful nature therapy & a well being boost!
By Maggie Pierce on 19-Jun-2021Arriving at Ash cottage was a joy - the attractive winding driveway, vibrant birdsong and well tended gardens had us feeling relaxed and anticipating a delightful week’s break. Judy welcomed us warmly and assured us of her desire to help in any way if needed, which was a lovely introduction, and we felt at ease parking up & familiarising ourselves at our own pace. The quiet elevated position, overlooking Lingmoor fell and the Langdale pikes beyond, was mesmerising and had us speechless at the beauty. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all that we needed. We very much appreciated the kind gift of delicious biscuits & coffee which we immediately took outside to sit and enjoy in the sunshine- a glorious start! Our week was a delight in every way and we look forward to returning to this little gem of a bolt hole again. Special moments for us were lots of varied birdwatching, seeing a Tawny owl up close, watching a red squirrel on the feeder & a stoat out of the kitchen window. It was also amazing to be able to do several walks out of the garden gate & then return several hours later! Thank you so much Andy & Judy - we had the best time and shall savour the memories.
Lovely stay, amazing views from Ash Cottage, Skelwith Bridge
By Anne & Ian on 17-Apr-2021We had a really homely stay in Ash cottage the views are perfect especially as we had a week of good weather. The birds that come to the bird table and feeder keep you looking when ever you are around, the woodpecker even came on the tree, and the Stoat payed us a visit as well. Judy and Andy are a very friendly couple and their cottage is central for most of the places of interest in the Lake District. We would definitley come again. .
Ash Cottage is a little gem
By Tudor & Debs Hill on 16-Jun-2019On 16 Jun 2019, at 18:27, Tudor Hill wrote: We think Ash Cottage is a little gem, affording peaceful privacy, spectacular views and easy driving access to Ambleside and the rest of the Lakes. The cottage itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated - a real home from home - and the owners, Andy and Judy, were so friendly and keen to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible, while leaving us to get on with our holiday in peace. This year was our second visit and we wouldn’t consider anywhere else to stay. We can’t wait for visit number three.
Super Cottage with Amazing Views
By Judy Parker on 17-Feb-2019We have just returned, reluctantly, from a wonderful 7 nights at Ash Cottage. We were looking to stay somewhere where we could explore the fells with our dog and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place! The cottage is situated high up above the road and the views from the window are stunning, overlooking the Langdale Fells and beyond. The beauty of having lovely long walks direct from the door.... The cottage itself was just perfect for us. Everything we needed. A wonderful modern bathroom with a great shower, a big bath and underfloor heating, a well equipped kitchen, a cosy longe and the comfiest bed I have ever slept in! The owners, Andy and Judy, were absolutely brilliant. They met us on arrival and were so warm and friendly. Thank you for all your attention to detail in the cottage, including a well stocked bird table and feeder right outside the lounge window where we spent time over breakfast watching the birds having their breakfast! We're so glad we found this place and we hope to return again!
