    “Poppy's is a really lovely cottage.”

    Stayed here with my 84 year old mum in July. It's very comfortable has quality furnishings and feels like home with lots of nice touches. Comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms and a great kitchen.....it's not big....Poppy's is not a big house but extremely well thought out. Did a bit of cooking and there is a handy Co-op just around the corner. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard for breakfast and for afternoon sun.

Comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms and a great kitchen.....it's not big....Poppy's is not a big house but extremely well thought out. Did a bit of cooking and there is a handy Co-op just around the corner. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard for breakfast and for afternoon sun. Also there is a pleasant public 'green' at the front of the property, which can get busy during the day but then very quiet after about 5pm. We both slept really well, it's very peaceful by night and no traffic noise. Grasmere is a fantastic base in the Lake District. Stunning scenery and some great walking right out of the front door - some real gems such as Helm Crag, Silverhowe and Easedale tarn. Also a really good bus service up to Keswick or Ambleside if you need. You won't go far wrong at Poppy's cottage.

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.
