Wetherlam View in The Lake District

A Luxury Chalet Escape in the Lake District

Be the first guests to stay at this beautiful Chalet-style retreat in Little Langdale sleeping 6-8, with an alpine sauna, cinema room, and stunning views of the Coniston Fells – perfect for families, friends, and dog-friendly getaways.

Wetherlam View has just been awarded a 5 Star Gold Award by Visit England and if you’re looking for a Lake District escape with a little bit of everything – big views, space for the whole family, and plenty of cosy extras – Wetherlam View is just the place. Once home to the landlord of the historic Three Shires Inn next door, this chalet-style property has been given a fresh new lease of life, making it a gorgeous base for exploring one of the most scenic valleys in the Lakes.

From the large sitting room, you can throw open the bifold doors and take in the stunning views over Little Langdale, Tilberthwaite, and the Coniston Fells. On rainy afternoons, there’s a cinema and games room to keep everyone entertained, and when the day’s adventures are done, you can sweat it out in the alpine sauna before gathering around the fire with a glass of something. It’s homely, relaxed and just right for families, groups of friends or multigenerational gatherings (dogs included!).

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

After a day on the fells, everyone’s guaranteed a good night’s sleep here. There are three comfy bedrooms in total, with space for up to 6 guests in the main house and an additional 2 guests in a separate annex with a twin bedroom split level apartment with ensuite bathroom, sitting room and private patio.

In the main house:

• 3 king / twin rooms (2 with ensuite)
• A family bathroom with bath and shower
• Soft towels, luxury bedding and high-quality mattresses in every room
• Wetherlam View monogramed bath robes and Pure Lakes skin care toiletries in every bathroom

So whether you’re here with family or friends, everyone’s got their own space to retreat to at the end of the day.

Social Spaces

The heart of Wetherlam View is its big open-plan sitting room with bifold doors that frame south-facing views of the dramatic landscapes beyond. There’s also a firepit for cosy nights in, and a dining table that easily fits everyone for long, chatty meals.

• Modern kitchen with the latest modern appliances, plus separate utility with washer/dryer and dog wash
• Dining space for 8 guests
• 40m² sitting room with sumptuous sofas, and a fire for lazy evenings – with a unique island feature bioethanol fireplace centrepiece and 4.5m bifold feature doors leading onto the balcony
• Underfloor heating throughout

Something Extra

This Lake District holiday home is like no other – it comes with some brilliant extras that really make it stand out:

• Cinema & games room – Think movie nights, board games or just a rainy-day hideout
• Alpine sauna – the perfect post-hike ritual, or just a way to unwind after a day exploring
• There is EV charging at the house

Dog-Friendly Comfort

Wetherlam View was designed with four-legged guests in mind. There’s a cosy ‘dog hotel suite’ under the mezzanine landing with underfloor heating and a large George Barclay dog bed, plus the utility room has a dog wash stand and even a wall mounted dryer to clean up muddy paws. Outside, the secure enclosed front patio means dogs can relax safely while you do too. And with endless local walks and dog-friendly pubs nearby, they’ll be as happy as you are.

Great for Groups

With space for up to 8, Wetherlam View works brilliantly for groups and big family get-togethers. And if you need even more room, you can also hire Lowfield House, just a short stroll of approximately 300 metres away, which sleeps up to 10. Perfect if you’re planning a big celebration or simply want everyone under one valley sky.

The Location

Little Langdale might just be one of the prettiest corners of the Lake District. From your doorstep, you can walk straight onto classic fell trails, dip into hidden tarns, or simply sit back and take in the views of Wetherlam, the Coniston Fells and Tilberthwaite Valley.

You’re tucked in the valley, but still only a short drive from some of the Lakes’ best-known spots:

• Windermere (25 mins)
• Grasmere (25 mins)
• Coniston (15 mins)
• Elterwater, Chapel Stile and Ambleside all close by

Things To Do Nearby

There’s plenty to keep you busy if you can tear yourself away from the view:

• Paddleboarding, kayaking, boating or wild swimming on the lakes
• Scenic fell walks and cycle routes for every ability
• National Trust gems like Beatrix Potter’s Hilltop and Wray Castle
• The Beatrix Potter Museum, the Steam Railway and family-friendly days out
• Artisan markets, farm shops and plenty of Lakeland produce to taste

Eating Out in Little Langdale

Wetherlam View has everything you need for a self-catering stay, but if you want a break from the cooking, there are some local options too.

Wetherlam View is next door to the Three Shires Inn – It was previously owned by the same family who built Wetherlam View and its sister property, Lowfield House.

Group bookings can be arranged with the Three shires for breakfast, lunch or supper.

As a Wetherlam View guest, you’ll also enjoy 20% off at the Three Shires Inn, Stickle Barn and the Wayside in Elterwater, all part of the local Lanty Slee group.

Getting Here

Despite its peaceful setting, Wetherlam View is easy to reach:

• Nearest train stations: Windermere, Kendal, Oxenholme (direct to London)
• By car: just off the A593, with parking for several cars onsite
• Nearest airport: Manchester or Liverpool
