Description

Osprey Cottage is a tremendous pet-friendly property in the aesthetically pleasing village of Grasmere in Cumbria.

This holiday home has ground-floor living, woodburning stove, and sublime countryside views to look out onto - with off-road parking for two cars, Osprey Cottage is a lovely destination for a family looking for a getaway to remember for a long time.

Walk in past the welcoming hallway and through to a sitting room you will fall for immediately.

With three sofas and an armchair all shouting your name, take your pick when having a sit down.

Before you do, light the woodburning stove for some crackling warmth as you lie down and switch on the Smart TV.

Lose yourself in whatever show you choose, as the holiday mood lets the mind decompress.

When you’re in the mood for a bite to eat, get everyone around the dining table ready for something delicious.

Use the electric oven and induction hob to whip up a meal in no time.

If the weather is kind, be sure to go out into the garden and take in the sweet sunshine as you sip a drink.

Let time go by without a care in the world until the night sky tells you it is time for bed.

With en-suites in the ground-floor and first-floor king-size bedrooms, choose between a shower or a bath before you have some rest ahead of a day of exploring Cumbria.

A shop is a short distance away for any essentials, as well as a pub for a cheeky beverage or meal.

Go out and about in Grasmere with all the family, with plenty to do at Lake Grasmere.

Go for a tranquil walk along the lake, taking in the picturesque views.

Find a birdwatching spot or even have a go at some kayaking in the serene lake.

Windermere isn’t far away for another wonderful day out.

Take in Lake Windermere, the largest lake that England has to offer, which gives the family loads of activities to take part in.

Jump on a lake cruise, have a go at some fishing, or look underneath the water with some insane scuba diving.

If you’d rather stay dry, the Lake District Falconry has some unreal hawk walks, or see the stunning greenery that the Holehird Gardens have.

Slightly further afield is the splendid town of Keswick.

A scenic hike awaits on the Catbells Lakeland Walk path, or get the kids excited by taking them to The Lake District Wildlife Park.

For some interactive activities, The Puzzling Place will have the little ones entertained with some brain teasers.

Treat yourself and the family to a mesmerising stay at Osprey Cottage.

Osprey Cottage is one of the best we have stayed in.

From the moment we walked in we knew it was going to be a great place to come back to after a days walking. Good central location, great for using public transport, we parked he car on arrival and did not move it again until we left. The amenities in the cottage were first class. Thankyou for providing such a welcoming place.

We really enjoyed our stay in Osprey Cottage.

Outstanding. The cleanliness of the cottage was superb and all the furnishings were top quality. Lovely garden to sit in, when weather permitted! Thank you Amanda for everything.

We had a wonderful time last week at Osprey Cottage.

It was immaculately clean and much bigger than we expected. The photos don’t do this house justice! The garden is completely enclosed, perfect for the dog. There are 2 sets of french doors and a front door leading to the garden. We were blessed with lovely weather so made good use of the comfy outdoor table and chairs. Considering the house is right on the road into the village and is in the heart of things, the garden is private and the wall and hedge block anyone looking in from the road and also helps block out road noise. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and the showers were great. We struggled a wee bit at first with the big high-tech cooker hob but soon mastered it! The kitchen is well equipped and there is a big cupboard full of games. We are going to book for next year. This really is a fabulous house in a perfect location! We met the owner and she is lovely! We’ve been coming to the Lakes for years, but usually stay in Ambleside, and visit Grasmere for a wander round, however it’s Grasmere always for us from now on. We loved wandering round the Riverside Walk every morning and night with the dog. It is so calm and peaceful at night once all the coaches and day-visitors leave, but nice and lively during the day. We hope to come back to Osprey Cottage for many years to come! :-)
