Farra Grain is a two storey terraced cottage built of Lakeland slate situated in the picturesque village of Little Langdale.
The accommodation comprises a cosy lounge with wood-burning stove and a large modern kitchen with dining area on the ground floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms. To the rear of the property is the double bedroom with en-suite shower room and stunning valley views. The twin bedded room at the front also has an en-suite bathroom.
There is outside terrace seating at the rear of the cottage. Farra Grain also has the advantage of a signed private off-road parking space less than a five minute walk away towards the Three Shires Inn.
The picturesque Blea Tarn is approximately two miles away with gorgeous walks around the tarn and 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 and Hardknott at 1:3 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 fantastic food with beautiful views of Wetherlam and the Tilberthwaite Fells.

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.
