Damson View is an attractive single storey cottage for two guests located in the village of Little Langdale.
Created out of redundant farm buildings, Damson View provides luxurious modern accommodation in a much sought after and spectacular position. The open plan lounge, dining / kitchen area, complete with modern state of the art equipment and appliances, has French doors which open onto a private patio area with enviable panoramic views of the surrounding fells; the perfect al-fresco dining area. The meadows to the rear are designated SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest). The tastefully furnished bedroom with en-suite shower room, wash hand basin and WC also has French doors opening onto the patio. There is parking for one car with this accommodation. Although this property is all on one level, there is a small step onto the patio.
The picturesque Blea Tarn is approximately two miles away with gorgeous walks around the tarn and nearby woodlands. Wrynose Pass and Hardknott Pass are just up the road. These two famous mountain passes are incredibly steep with uneven surfaces and many hairpin turns. At 1:3, Hardknott is one of the steepest roads in England. The passes take you from Langdale to Eskdale area through some amazing wild scenery. Definitely worth the drive if you are feeling confident!
A short walk up the lane brings you to the Three Shires Inn, a family run free house serving a selection of local real ales and delicious food.
Be sure to book early for this much sought after cottage.

Tucked away between the larger Langdale and Coniston valleys, Little Langdale is a peaceful and enchanting hamlet surrounded by some of the Lake District’s most beautiful and lesser-visited scenery. The area is known for its unspoilt charm, historic packhorse bridges, and easy access to both gentle walks and more adventurous fell routes.
Little Langdale is accessible by car from Ambleside via the A593 and a scenic single-track lane, or on foot from Elterwater or Tilberthwaite. The nearest train station is at Windermere, about 10 miles away, with bus and taxi connections available as far as Elterwater.
Highlights here include the picturesque Slater’s Bridge, a 17th-century packhorse bridge across the River Brathay, and the atmospheric Cathedral Cave, a vast former slate quarry. The quiet lanes and paths are ideal for walking and cycling, and the views towards Wetherlam and the Langdale Pikes are unforgettable.
With its tranquil setting, historic features, and connection to the wider Langdale and Coniston areas, Little Langdale is perfect for those seeking a quieter, more secluded corner of the Lake District while still being within easy reach of nearby villages and sights.
