    “The cottage is in a wonderful quiet location with everything we needed within a short walk or drive, yet with amazing views and walks on the doorstep.”

    The rooms are bigger than I thought they appeared in the photos, and it looks like there has possibly been some fresh decor and replacement of some of the bedroom furniture like the huge new bed in the main bedroom since the photos were taken. We found the main lounge sofas very lumpy/uncomfortable and we were grateful for the additional small lounge off the kitchen/diner which was sufficient as there was only 2 of us. Overall I'd say the cottage was in good order and pretty clean considering ...

    The rooms are bigger than I thought they appeared in the photos, and it looks like there has possibly been some fresh decor and replacement of some of the bedroom furniture like the huge new bed in the main bedroom since the photos were taken. We found the main lounge sofas very lumpy/uncomfortable and we were grateful for the additional small lounge off the kitchen/diner which was sufficient as there was only 2 of us. Overall I'd say the cottage was in good order and pretty clean considering the age and type. Highlights were the lovely enclosed garden for our dog, good heating (underfloor, radiators, AGA) and plenty of hot water and decent showers, PIR security lights outside for late/early dog walks, spacious homely feel, lots of storage and well equipped kitchen, and wonderful location. As other reviewers have stated you will need to bring everything you need aside from salt/pepper if you want to cook - by that I mean things we might normally find in our rental property kitchen like a roll of kitchen towel, oil for cooking, basic spices, cling film/kitchen foil, tea and coffee, dishwasher tablet or 2 - some of these things are shown in the photos but not provided. It's also the first property we have ever been to (and we have come to the Lakes a few times a year for many years now) where there has been no welcome pack at all - not even the wine/biscuits other guests seem to have received! Again these things are not necessarily expected, however they do seem to be the norm based on our experiences. Overall a really enjoyable stay and we'd happily return in the future.

The property

If you're looking for a true Lakeland character property in a world-renowned location, at the heart of the Lakes and immersed in the landscapes that have inspired artists and poets for hundreds of years, then Stone Arthur Cottage will leave you enchanted.

A detached 17th century cottage, refurbished to elegant standards and boasting unforgettable views in every direction; to fells, valley and Grasmere Water itself. Inside the atmosphere is homely but indulgent; sumptuous fabrics and antique furnishings, old oak beams and vaulted ceilings, stone flagged floors, woodburning stove and a stunning cream Aga at the heart of the kitchen.

The dining reception room is a dream for sociable gatherings, opening out to the garden, and there will be no arguments over these magnificent bedrooms!

Accommodation in detail A long private driveway leads to off-road parking for three cars, outside the cottage.

Beamed sitting room with woodburning stove and fabulous views.

Farmhouse kitchen with stone flagged floors and cream Aga.

The kitchen is open to the dining area which in turn leads to the fantastic furnished gardens - an exceptional space for entertaining.

Upstairs to the three magnificent bedrooms (1 x Super king-size, 1 x king-size and 1 twin) and the luxurious Victorian bathrooms.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
