    “A second stay at High Raise - we wouldn't have booked it unless we loved it the first time!”

    The flat is very comfortable and the views are incredible. It is well equipped and spacious. One small improvement would be a clothes airer (maybe stored in the hoover cupboard or the clothes cupboard?) as that would really help to dry damp clothes after a rainy walk. We look forward to visiting for a third time sometime next year.

A quaint little village steeped in history, Grasmere was once home to the famous poet William Wordsworth. His home can be visited at Dove Cottage - part of the Wordsworth museum.

For eating out there is a varied range of high quality restaurants, with everything from gastro pubs (in the centre and in rural settings) to vegetarian restaurants. The Prelude Restaurant in the centre of the village and the riverside Conservatory Restaurant at the Rothay Garden Hotel are both double AA rosetted. There are some lovely, easy walks around Grasmere and Rydal Water. A pleasant climb takes you up around Easedale Tarn or even onto High Raise. Serious walkers might be tempted to take on the summits of Fairfield, Silver How, Helm Crag and Loughrigg; all within easy reach. The starting point for a popular route up Helvellyn is a short drive along the road to Thirlmere.Exploring other attractions in the Lake District is a dream, as Grasmere lies right at the heart of the Lakes. Follow the A591 to Rydal Water then Ambleside, and the shores of Lake Windermere. To your south explore the breathtaking Langdale Valley, Coniston Water and Hawkshead to mention but a few.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
