    “We had a wonderful stay at Bakers Yard Cottage.”

    Great things: - Location is amazing, right in the centre of Grasmere and super quiet in the evenings. We enjoyed popping out for coffee in the morning, and setting off for walks right from the doorstep. - The yard is a suntrap. - Bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and had everything we needed, nice selection of pillows. - Parking spot was great for us, we have a skoda.

    Great things: - Location is amazing, right in the centre of Grasmere and super quiet in the evenings. We enjoyed popping out for coffee in the morning, and setting off for walks right from the doorstep. - The yard is a suntrap. - Bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and had everything we needed, nice selection of pillows. - Parking spot was great for us, we have a skoda. Tight getting to it, but fine with a normal size car. - Kitchen is incredibly well stocked, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and all the pots and pans and utensils that you will need. - Great to have a bath and shower. Things to improve: - The directions were a bit difficult to follow and could be updated, and as no house number is given it's not clear which house is the correct one (the house shares a courtyard and entranceway with another house. - The kitchen is well stocked but could do with a deep clean. We re-washed all the glasses and dishes when we arrived and the drawers could do with a little cleaning. - Curtains in the bedrooms could do with being a little thicker. All round we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return!

The property

The bathroom has been fully refurbished October 2024.

Resting at the heart of the charming, Lake District village of Grasmere, lies the delightful, two-bedroom, stone-built holiday home of Bakers Yard Cottage.

Featuring off-road parking for one car, a whimsical, enclosed courtyard with outdoor seating, a superb proximity to nearby shops, pubs and the River Rothay, this wonderful property makes an idyllic base for a family of four seeking a relaxing, fuss-free stay in beautiful Cumbria. Step into your lovely new dwelling, where you'll find two well-appointed bedrooms located on the ground-floor for you to unpack your belongings in.

When you're ready, head upstairs and make yourself at home in the cottage's open-plan living area, complete with slanted ceilings with tasteful wooden beams, housing a fully-equipped kitchen, a family dining table with ample seating, and a sitting area with plush sofas and TV for when you fancy a film night in with your loved ones.

As day rolls into night, head downstairs to refresh with an indulgent bath or a rejuvenating shower before you tuck yourself in for a much-needed rest in one of the two inviting bedrooms.

After savouring your morning coffee outside in the courtyard whilst soaking in your tranquil new surroundings, slip on your shoes and head into Grasmere on foot to explore your local area.

Stock up on homely essentials at the Co-Op, sit down for a spot of tea at Heidi's Cafe, tuck into a pub lunch at the 1769 Bar & Restaurant, or even book a table at The Jumble Room or Harley's Bistro & Café Bar for when you fancy a break from cooking one evening. Whilst you're in the village, be sure to stop by the Wordsworth Grasmere Museum, former home of the famed poet, as well as the National Trust country house of Allan Bank and Grasmere.

For a day out, spend time visiting the Rydal Cave and Hall Gardens on your car journey to nearby Ambleside, where you will find the stunning Stagshaw Gardens, the Ambleside Roman Fort, The Bridge House, and the outstanding Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

Enjoy an unforgettable stay in Cumbria by booking Bakers Yard Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £75.

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.
