Eller Close House
Description
Eller Close House is in Grasmere, Cumbria, in the quiet surroundings of the Lake District National Park.
This home is ideal for friends and families looking for a holiday in the picturesque Lakes since it has fantastic accommodations with en-suite bathrooms, a stylish décor, and lots to do nearby.
Be drawn in by the pleasant sitting area as soon as you enter; with lovely furniture, a Smart TV, and a woodburning stove, it offers a refuge to wrap up with loved ones and watch a family favourite after a day of adventures.
Explore the well-equipped kitchen/diner next, where the group's assigned chef may prepare a hearty dinner that can be eaten while discussing the highlights of your journey thus far. Alternatively, select from two inviting outside seating areas to enjoy al fresco dining or a late-night drink.
Each of the three delightfully appointed bedrooms upstairs has a Smart TV, en-suite bathroom, and is furnished to a high standard.
They provide a flexible and private space where you can lose yourself in a book, enjoy some alone time, or indulge in a movie night before another busy day.
On nights when you don't feel like cooking, enjoy the breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside from the comfort of your own freestanding bath or wash up in a spacious shower room before going to the local bar. Discover the wealth of tea rooms, boutique shops, pubs, bars, and restaurants that are right outside your door, or go to Bowness-on-Windermere for an action-packed outing where everything from golf and horseback riding to water skiing and sailing is suitable for a party of all ages.
For those wishing to fully immerse themselves in the town's rich history, there is also the lovely St. Martin's church from the fifteenth century nearby, as well as the The World of Beatrix Potter attraction.
Ambleside, which is further out, is known as a walker's paradise. There are many routes that start close to the Waterhead Pier and offer stunning views of the area's undulating hills and cascading sceneries. William Wordsworth lived in Rydal Mount and Gardens, which is rich in local culture and literature and a wonderful place to spend time outside.
At Eller Close House, excitement awaits for a memorable stay.

What guests are saying
A wonderful property ideal for three couples.
Warm, great kitchen and an excellent location.
Eller Close House is a beautiful, high spec house that felt like a home from home with fantastic views that can be seen from the living room, 2 of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms.
The listing and photos are accurate but the living room pictures undersell the room which was beautifully done and very cosy. We stayed as a family of 4 with 2 young teenagers. It had everything we needed and the baths were appreciated at the end of a long day of walking! Its location is great for walkers with a huge choice of great walks on the door step. It is also 5 minutes walk from The Swan, 12 minutes from the centre of Grasmere, 10 minutes from The Travellers Rest and 20 minutes from The Yan. We ate out every night and didn’t need to move the car. The property is not suitable for people with mobility issues due to the steep paths from the shared parking area to the house. I would also have been very nervous with small children due to the stream ( fenced) that runs through the grounds - beautiful for us! We will definitely be back! …….Note for the owners- There is a boiling water tap in the kitchen which pretends to be just the hot tap which gave me a shock, it spent the rest of the week with an egg cup over it to remind us of the danger. A small notice would remove the risk of scalding. The weather turned the week we arrived so we could not make use of the garden but it is worth noting that you can’t see the view sat at the garden table as the hedge is just a little too high, if it was my property I would take a foot off it! We enjoyed the view from the small patio with a cuppa instead. Finally, when we arrived there was a sewage smell coming from the bath in the second bathroom. We ran the water and it disappeared straight away and didn’t return . We suspect the bath had not been used for a few weeks so it’s worth the cleaners doing that each time.
Pro's: The property has high quality fixtures and furnishings and is in a nice setting, although the main road nearby can be quite noisy.
Cons: some of the kitchen utensils are of surprisingly cheap quality and all the knives are blunt, which for someone who likes to cook was a disappointment. The kitchen boiling water tap should have a sign near it warning of very hot water. On first use I burned my hand. It should probably be noted on the description of the two sets of steep steps to access the property and the fact that you can't park near the entrance as it was quite a slog getting all our suitcases up and down.
