Location

Grange Fell Cottage is located in the picturesque hamlet of Grange in Borrowdale, a very short distance from Derwentwater, one of the principal lakes in the Lake District National Park, and at the entrance to the Jaws of Borrowdale, the narrow area between the Jaws of Castle Crag and Grange Fell. This small gathering of cottages, a church and two cafes is reached via a famous double-humped bridge over the River Derwent, the beautiful outlet of Derwentwater itself.

'Grange' means 'outlying farm belonging to a monastery', and indeed Grange's history dates back to medieval times when the monks of Furness Abbey owned the land here. The cottage is situated in the heart of the original Grange, where a barn, cottages and a farm surround three sides of the village square. Holy Trinity Church, with its bell tower, was built in 1861 (visible from the kitchen window), and a Methodist Church followed in 1878. The hamlet has grown little since then, and remains a cluster of cottages, several farms and two tea shops. Grange Fell cottage is conveniently placed in between the latter, so you are spoilt for choice of food!

Grange Fell Cottage is named after Grange Fell, the mountain the far side of the River Derwent overlooking Grange. (Lake District Mountains are called fells.) Grange Fell has three peaks: Kings How, Grund Fell and Ether Knott. When King Edward VII died in 1910, his sister Louise bought Grange Fell and placed a memorial stone to him just below the summit of King's How.

Very happy overall and accommodated for us all.

Very clean and tidy on our arrival and enough space to give the teenagers the space required when they needed it. The owners left a bottle of wine for our arrival which was a lovely touch and were also very helpful and resolved our problem without having too much impact on our week. High recommend this lovely retreat and will certainly look at coming back
