A contemporary, detached Lakeland retreat with a peaceful south-facing garden, located just a short level stroll from the centre of Grasmere yet surrounded by lush green countryside. Rowanberry Cottage is modern, in a very quiet location, has an incredibly relaxed and soothing atmosphere and it is one of our most popular holiday homes. A place to escape to! The strategically positioned picture windows enable you to take full advantage of the amazing views. The patio doors open onto a charming enclosed patio, where many lazy days can be spent. Although one of the fabulous king-size en-suite bedrooms can be made up as a twin, Rowanberry Cottage would make a perfect romantic retreat for two couples.

A holiday cottage in Grasmere provides easy access to no end of famous Lake District walking routes.
