“I spent a wonderful weak with my two beagles.”

Accommodation was first class and the location in the village of Grasmere was even better, such a beautiful and intimate place, away from the thronging crowds and traffic. I will be returning for sure.

“Lovely cottage in a superb location, with hot tub and own parking.”

But there were several servicing issues that I would not expect in this price bracket. Freezer was so iced up we couldn't open the drawers, to defrost we had to turn off all the sockets as there is no isolator. Seriously bad mould issues in the shower room. Sink drain leaks and no basin provided. No logs supplied, description says there will be some. Dressing table drawer sticks, it is very narrow and the mirror isn't fixed, so very unstable. Front door only latches shut if slammed.

“Whilst, We understand that it is an ideal facility an additional armchair would be nice to have.”

“We’ve had a fabulous week here at Marys Cottage, what a fantastic location!”

We have loved the walks from Grasmere to Easedale Tarn, Ambleside and Elterwater! Hot Tub was great for sore feet and a total relax! We had AMAZING food at the Jumble Room, The Inn do great fish and chops. Emma's Deli and the café next door, both gorgeous! The Deck at Ambleside for a Vino!

“We have had such a lovely comfortable stay at Mary’s Cottage in this beautiful setting.”

Even the rain didn’t dampen our spirits too much!! (And there was a lot of rain) The sunny afternoons in the garden whilst hopping in and out of the hot tub were glorious.

“Had such a lovely stay – the hot tub is a lovely way to end the evening sitting under the stars .”

Had a lovely walk along Grasmere lake, a great lunch at The Inn and a fab evening at The Fizzy Tarte in Windermere. Just wish we could stay longer!!

Weather very wet but we had a great time. Recommend The Jumble Room, Tweedies and The Good Sport pub (which is also good for breakfast).

The property

In addition Mary's has BT Superfast Fibre connection perfect for streaming films and games so all your entertainment needs are catered for.

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.
