Hi -- The Lake District has many firms handling rentals, but the one we
rented from is http://www.wheelwrights.com which is a small family-owned firm
specializing in the Central Lakes. Unfortunately the wonderful 17th
century stone cottage facing Lake Grasmere (mentioned by Wordsworth) is
no longer for rent, but on the same grounds is also a small flat, Badger
Cottage, part of a big estate, that we have rented three times and like
a lot--it is very simple but in a gorgeous location. Wheelwrights has
tiny to huge homes/flats for rent. Also, CUMBRIA magazine has lots and
lots of individual ads for private rentals. We have rented from an ad
in CUMBRIA once, met the people who owned the Wheelwrights cottage, and
have rented from them ever since. The Lake District is one of our
favorite places in the whole world and we have gone back there nearly
every year for 25 years. Cheers, Pat in Baltimore
