Derwentwater Escapes · Opening soon in Borrowdale
Your own quiet corner of Borrowdale, ready when you are.
A small collection of self-catering cottages in Borrowdale — each one personally looked after by people who actually live in the valley. First doors open soon.
Not a franchise listing — a valley you'll actually get to know.
Real Lakeland cottages
Stone-built, full of character, dotted around Derwentwater and the Borrowdale fells — not a row of identical listings.
Properly looked after
Cleaned, stocked and maintained in-house by a small local team — not a call centre three counties away.
Local from the first message
The right walk for the weather, the right pub, the best day for Scafell Pike — from people who actually know.
Behind Derwentwater Escapes
Derwentwater Escapes is run by Dixon Property Management, a Borrowdale property management business founded by Nigel Dixon — who has run Seatoller House, one of the valley's busiest hotels, for fifteen years.
Every cottage under this name is looked after the same way his hotel guests are: properly, personally, and by someone who's a phone call away, not a distant office.
We'll only write when there's a cottage worth telling you about.
Register your interest and we'll email you the moment the first Derwentwater Escapes cottage is ready to book.
