Here at Cumbrian Cottage Holidays we provide a fully managed service, but what does that mean for our owners and holidaymakers? Put simply we look after the “behind the scenes”, ensure the toilets are sparkling, the cushions are plumped and curtains are hanging as they should.
When guests book a getaway to the Lake District with Cumbrian Cottage Holidays, they imagine scenic fell walks, tranquil lakeside views, cosy evenings by the fire, and the charm of a stone-built cottage nestled in nature. But what truly makes those first moments magical is stepping into a warm, spotless, beautifully presented cottage and it is the work of someone you rarely see: our holiday cottage cleaners.
These dedicated individuals are the hidden stars of every Lake District stay, working unseen, quietly behind the scenes to ensure that every cottage is not only clean, but welcoming, comfortable, and ready to help guests unwind the moment they walk through the door.
Creating a Home-from-Home
Cleaning a holiday cottage in the Lakes isn’t just about dusting and hoovering—it’s about crafting an experience. Whether it’s a rustic shepherd’s hut near Keswick, a family-sized retreat in Ambleside, or a romantic hideaway overlooking Ullswater, each property on Cumbrian Cottage Holidays managed service gets the same level of care and attention from our housekeeping team.
Every room is checked with a fine-tooth comb. Sheets are fresh and kitchens are gleaming. Housekeepers often work to tight turnarounds, ensuring that every detail is perfect—no matter the weather, no matter the season.
Going the Extra Mile—The Cumbrian Way
What makes our housekeepers exceptional is their pride in the place they call home. They all live locally and know just how special the Lake District is to visitors. That’s why they go above and beyond.
Perhaps it’s spotting and fixing a loose drawer handle before a guest notices, popping in a bunch of daffodils for a spring arrival, or leaving a little extra kindling when the forecast looks chilly.
Unsung Heroes of the Holiday Experience
Our housekeepers are the first to enter a cottage after guests leave and the last to lock up before the next ones arrive. They manage all this with care, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to excellence.
They are also caretakers—reporting any maintenance issues, restocking supplies, and ensuring everything from the hot water to the hob is guest-ready. Without them, the Lake District magic wouldn’t quite be the same.
Thank You to Our Hidden Stars
At Cumbrian Cottage Holidays, we’re proud of every member of our team—but we’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to our amazing housekeepers. You are the reason guests arrive to sparkling homes, fresh bedding, and a sense of calm the moment they step inside.
So next time you return from a day on the fells to a warm, welcoming cottage, remember our unsung heroes that made it all feel like home… our housekeepers, we couldn’t do it without them!
Because behind every perfect stay in the Lake District… is a housekeeper who truly cares.
