“Fabulous location, spacious and well equipped.”

Only criticism is the standard of bedroom 3. Two of bedrooms are lovely, comfortable beds and modern en-suites. Third bedroom smells damp has 2 mismatched single beds with plastic mattress cover and poor one poorer quality duvet. Felt my son and partner had drawn the short straw! Other than that an excellent place to spend a walking holiday and would use it again.

“Lovely cottage which provided plenty of space for 4 adults and a young child.”

The layout of the cottage offered plenty of privacy to couples and numerous bathrooms. The setting of the house is ideal, being walking distance to grasmere, several pubs/restaurants and the public bus all while being surrounded by nature. The peaceful setting made for a good nights sleep. There is also the added bonus of the health club access which we enjoyed. Would definitely return to Fairfield Cottage. To improve the kitchen facilities further additional larger glasses, wine glasses, baking trays and a few more sharp knives could be supplied. Otherwise it’s a well equipped kitchen. A few more plug adapters could help, especially in bedrooms and lounge. Might also benefit from a regular deep clean in those hard to reach areas eg behind beds and cabinets.

- Mrs Clegg, June 2021

“We really were impressed with Fairfield Cottage.”

Views were amazing. Just to mention garden area which is not enclosed. We had a toddler in our party so be aware that there is no grassy area to let off steam. Also we did have a problem with shower screen in main bathroom. After advising Lakelovers a maintenance man was quickly on the scene to sort. We really enjoyed our stay. Would certainly recommend Lakelovers and we will be back.

“Mostly the cottage met our expectations.”

In fact it was spotless but the third bedroom, which luckily we didn’t have to use, had a strange smell. Also the washing machine seemed to be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. All in all though it was a lovely little cottage with spectacular views.

Mr Eatwell May 2021

“The property is in a lovely position with beautiful views across the valley.”

The accommodation is spacious and everything works properly. Some of the furniture is looking a little dated. There was very little information about the cottage unlike other Lakelovers properties we have stayed in apart from one A4 sheet stuck inside one of the kitchen cupboards. In overall terms however Fairfield makes a great base to explore and enjoy the Lakes.

Mrs Schmid April 2021

“A lovely cottage, very comfortable in a great position, nice walk into grasmere great views, everything and more was provided.”

We would definitely stay here again , I would say that the outside area is not really suitable for a small child. Other than that it was fab.

Mr Ward Nov 2019

“Excellent accommodation for our family get-together, somewhere cosy to return to each November evening and with plenty of space for everyone.”

The location is excellent, within walking distance of Grasmere Village and with some beautiful walks nearby. The Autumn tints were spectacular.

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 have 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, plus 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.
