    “Well what can we say?”

    We really did have the best stay at The Grassings for our Mum and Dads 60th birthdays! The house is just WOW!!!! Everything about it was so so perfect. The extension really was the heart of the home the whole weekend and rightly so, it has been so beautifully done! The kitchen was so well equipped with a nice surprise of a coffee machine which was exciting for the coffee lovers (the Hawkshead coop sell pods for it!!)! The house was so clean and immaculately presented, cannot fault a single thing ...

    We really did have the best stay at The Grassings for our Mum and Dads 60th birthdays! The house is just WOW!!!! Everything about it was so so perfect. The extension really was the heart of the home the whole weekend and rightly so, it has been so beautifully done! The kitchen was so well equipped with a nice surprise of a coffee machine which was exciting for the coffee lovers (the Hawkshead coop sell pods for it!!)! The house was so clean and immaculately presented, cannot fault a single thing about it. The one thing everybody commented on was how comfy the beds were and the pillows! Would love to know what mattresses they were as they were the comfiest beds we’ve ever had in a holiday house. Our 10 week old baby loved all the lights and the Christmas tree was a really lovely festive touch! The rooms are all huge and plenty space in the bathrooms etc for young children and adults alike. Very easy to walk into Hawkshead via the path on the lane or walk via the road (we did both routes due to wet weather!), only takes about 15 minutes and Hawkshead has some lovely pubs. We had 2 lovely meals- one at Billy’s in hawkshead which was delicious and an AMAZING Sunday roast at the Yan! Cannot recommend the Yan enough! If you’re looking for a really super roast dinner it’s the place to go. Thank you so so much for such a lovely stay for a special occasion! We will certainly be back, most likely when the little one is able to go out and explore the garden and play on the zip wire!!! What a garden! Even my 25 year old sister couldn’t resist a shot on the zip wire and was beyond excited when she spotted it in the garden, big kid at heart!!!♥️

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
