    “We had the most amazing stay and the cottage certainly met our expectations.”

    We have already booked for next year and will continue to do so. Please find below some minor issues to take into consideration. We ran out of loo rolls and kitchen rolls by day 3 Could have done with some kitchen foil 2cm of hand soap in downstairs toilet Bath towels too small Possibility of an outside light by the side door? Possibility of complimentary toiletries in the bathroom i.e. soap and shampoo? BUT can't wait to go back again - simply the best and thank you

    It is extremely gratifying to know that you believe Rowanberry Cottage is ‘simply the best’, that your expectations were met and that you cannot wait to return. The ‘minor issues’ you raise will certainly be considered. Thank you for your support for Rowanberry Cottage and all good wishes. Property Owner

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.
