    “Astonishingly well dec'd out cottage, presented to a very high standard, with a big outdoor securely locked room for storing bikes (and big enough for ebikes too).”

    Extremely comfy bed. Well stocked kitchen. On arrival, it was lovely to find tea, coffee and biscuits and ... milk and juice in fridge. Really enjoyed the cosy evenings sat in front of the warm woodburner listening and chatting over smooth music out of the BOSE speaker. Location is icing on the cake. Grasmere is great with good pubs and good food and if you want to go further, the bus is just outside the cottage to get you elsewhere. We didn't use the car all week which was so nourishing. ...

Grasmere is great with good pubs and good food and if you want to go further, the bus is just outside the cottage to get you elsewhere. We didn't use the car all week which was so nourishing. Walks and bikes from the front door too. And fab views all around. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for putting in the effort to produce this place for people to rent and enjoy.

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.

Please note: The property only accepts bookings beginning on the 5th, 12th, 19th and 28th December 2024.
