Thank You for Considering Us
We’re David and Julia Hogarth—founders of Cumbrian Cottages and Lakes Cottage Holidays. As cottage owners ourselves, we know the value of personal, dependable, local service.
Many of our past owners became friends, and with big agencies losing that personal touch, we’re proud to bring it back—through real relationships and honest, local expertise.
100+ Years of Combined Experience
We live and work right here in the Lake District. Our team has over a century of combined experience and an intimate knowledge of what works in this market.
You’ll get honest advice, not corporate scripts
We understand both owners and holidaymakers.
We care about your long-term success—not just short-term bookings. Find out more about us.

Meet Gail – Your First Point of Contact
Gail has worked alongside us for over 30 years, helping build both previous agencies. She’s been a constant source of support to our owners—resolving issues, offering advice, and making sure everyone feels truly looked after.
“Our owners were always confident they were in good hands when dealing with Gail.”
David & Julia

A Personal Approach That Stays Personal
When you work with us, you’re not passed around from one department to another. You’ll speak with David, Julia or Gail, and we’ll get to know you, your goals, and your property. We’re excited to be part of your journey—and to help your cottage reach its full potential.

Their story? A lifetime of dedication to local tourism, property, and community. What started as letting a single cottage turned into two successful agencies, and now, a fresh start with Cumbrian Cottage Holidays, where it’s back to basics.
