    “Location and modernisation of the property was fantastic, within easy walking distance of Grasmere town centre.”

    Lovely large front garden, good for dogs and children. Car parking was an issue as we could not get our car round a tight corner and due to big rocks in the ground (apparently we were advised that we could, but this was not possible without damaging our car). No welcome pack, which was disappointing as we felt the property lacked attention to detail (previous accommodations we have stayed in have always done this).

    Lovely large front garden, good for dogs and children. Car parking was an issue as we could not get our car round a tight corner and due to big rocks in the ground (apparently we were advised that we could, but this was not possible without damaging our car). No welcome pack, which was disappointing as we felt the property lacked attention to detail (previous accommodations we have stayed in have always done this). Bigger towels (as previous guests have also said) would have been better as we were only provided with little hand towels to get dried with. Accommodation is also shared with whoever is staying next door, which means it can become noisy as the fire doors do not block out sound. But overall, despite these things, the accommodation was modern and clean so thank you.

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.
