Ramblers Roost

A beautiful place and a great getaway for us both.

No complaints at all and we will most definitely be coming back again soon!

Ramblers Roost was a delight.

First time staying at the property, it was warm , clean and comfortable. Well equipped for a weeks stay. The milk in the fridge and welcome tea, coffee and biscuits was a lovely touch. You can park the car for the week and enjoy the walks from Grasmere. Each time we visit we find new places to explore, always with the hope of seeing a red squirrel which we did.

Very comfortable accommodation within easy reach of village bus routes and walks.

Beautiful place , it has everything you need which.

The bed though needs an upgrade

A comfortable, clean and well equipped appartment for two in a superb location.

Better than descibed in some respects - e.g. included a dishwasher in the kitchen area, and a good selection of books, maps and games.

Ramblers Roost was one of the best cottages we have stayed in for comfort, cleanliness, decor, provision of kitchen and cottage equipment and a fabulous location.

We loved our stay so much we didn't want to leave. Thankyou for making our stay so wonderful.

Très belle location dans un cadre idyllique.

Nous avons adoré la vue sur le lac et le magnifique jardin.

Perfect cottage in the best uk surroundings The cottage ramblers roost had everything possible needed for a week away Tucked away but also close to the main area of grass mere I would recommend this cottage and it gets a 5/5 stars from us Thankyou

Small but lovely apartment.

It has a view of the lake from the bedroom which was great. It took a while to get used to the heating but we worked it out by the second day.

Lovely cosy apartment, really enjoyed our stay there.

Well equipped kitchen and all that we needed. Maybe a coffee machine would make it extra great. Love the addition of walking magazines and books in the lounge. A great base to walk from. Only one comment really about the recycling - be good to have separate bins for these things.

The property was in a wonderful position.

It was clean and well-equipped. There is a useful lobby for coats and boots. The bed was comfortable. However, there was a smell of damp and despite prolonged use of the de-humidifier provided, the bedroom especially was unpleasant to waken in. Therefore we felt the need to have the noisy humidifier on much of the night. The owners denied that there was a serious issue when we raised it. A second thing to be aware of is that the one place to relax is advertised as being an open plan room but the two seat sofa faces the kitchen rather than any view.

Great holiday in a lovely warm and clean property.

Lots of walks straight from the door. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect

A lovely cosy apartment, with a shared garden with beautiful views over the lake.

Everything you need in a lovely area for walking and exploring the Lake District, close to Keswick, Windermere and Ambleside, with Rydal walking distance where you can see badgers being fed at Badger bar, and there's plenty of eating places in the area. We'll worth a visit

A delightful cottage, fabulous views from the back garden, well placed for all amenities.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful apartment with everything we could possibly need.

Situated close enough for the villages and towns nearby, but tucked away so all that can be heard are the birds! Comfortable, cosy and just right for a totally relaxing break.

Comfortable accommodation in a lovely setting.

We had everything we needed and would not hesitate to recommend.

excellent all round lovely cottage

Lovely little apartment in an ideal spot.

Excellent views from the grounds and good position for exploring the Lake District. Just missing the little touches. I usually use AirBnb where you would normally have at least a few tea bags, coffee and a small fresh milk waiting for you. Also just one toilet roll for two people for a week is a bit stingy.

The perfect base for exploring the Central Lakes.

We didn't move the car for the entire week. Grasmere Village is just a short walk away, with plenty of facilities, and there are fantastic walks from the back gate in every direction, including Lakeland Classics, such as the Fairfield Horseshoe or shorter, less strenuous, but equally spectacular options, such as the coffin route to Rydal. Rambler's Roost was perfectly equipped and spacious for two, and we would whole-heartedly recommend it.

Amazing cottage in the best place in Grasmere very comfortably clean tidy Had everything you would expect.

The bed was comfy and would love to re visit .

Very comfortable and homely we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return or recommend.

We had everything we needed and it was perfect.

A clean, comfortable and very well serviced property.

We were particularly impressed by the speed at which our report of a broken shower head was dealt with. We loved that the apartment was so convenient for both the facilities in the village of Grasmere and for access to multiple walks, many from the property itself.

It's a really nice cosy cottage, very comfortable and quiet.

We have stayed here before and will again in July.

It was a fantastic apartment in every way, beautifully clean and superb location.

The only drawback was the dog yapping incessantly in the apartment above. Listing had said no dogs allowed but clearly that was not the case for the whole house. So what I thought would be a peaceful dog-free retreat was not what was promised.

This cottage was in an ideal position for visiting many of the Lake District sites as well as having access to plenty of local walking trails.

The owners of the cottage had thought of everything you would need and kept us informed at all times.

Rambler’s Roost was is the most perfect location!

The accommodation was well equipped and clean and a pleasure to come back to at the end of longs days out on the hills. The best thing was the magical shared garden. Nights out there on the lawn overlooking Grasmere were just perfect. We’re already hoping to rebook.

A comfortable apartment.

Well equipped. Fantastic location with lots of footpaths next to the property. Very quiet and peaceful away from the centre of Grasmere which is what we like. 10/15 Minute Walk to Centre of Grasmere. Area served by a fantastic selection of public transport which helped us with linear walks and meant we could park the car at Ramblers Roost and forget about it.

Only thing I would say is that the hot water Is not adequate enough to be able to run a bath which I was disappointed about.

The accommodation was part of a large former dwelling so to be able to use the large garden was a bonus.

Ramblers Roost is perfect for couples being large enough and being equipped and decorated to a high standard. A big plus also was the car parking space outside the front door. The views from the terrace over Grasmere lake are stunning with an added bonus of Red Squirrels present in the garden. We would definitely return at some point to Ramblers Roost and would not hesitate in recommending it to others.

Lovely property and is a lovely little cottage but the smell of mould was awful Especially in the bedroom and there was mould in the kitchen also.

I have asthma and really struggled at night as the smell was so strong I could taste it. Other than that it would have been a perfect stay.

This was our 3rd stay at Ramblers Roost and each time we thoroughly enjoy our stay.

Would highly recommend!

Great location with so many good walks from the door.

We hardly used the car all week. The cottage has everything you need and is well equipped for dealing with muddy boots and wet clothes. Grasmere is a 15 min walk and has enough shops, cafes etc. All in all a great week.

This is the second Sykes holiday home this summer with no facilities for recycling.

We had a great time at 'Ramblers Roost'.

Lovely, clean apartment in a great location. Some great walks available direct from the front door. Only a short drive from the neighbouring Langdale valley. Pleasant walk into the center of Grasmere with a good selection of bars and shops. Saw red squirrels and red deer in the gardens around the apartment.

Really wonderful stay!

This was our second time this year staying at Ramblers Roost. We will be back again next year.

Great location, as short walk to pubs and shops.

Home from home

The cottage is in a great central place to explore the Lake District.

Grasmere is easy to get around being small and not too crowded.

It was nice to find the heating was on when we arrived!

Perfect accommodation.

A cosy hideaway with fantastic views over Grasmere Lake from the terrace and immediate access to walks from the gate at the back of the garden. Everything you need for a quiet time.

This is a beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage ideal for one or two people.

It has been furnished with care and has absolutely everything needed for a holiday in the lakes, including books and information about the area. Also a starter pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits which was greatly appreciated. Being on my own it was nice knowing there were people around in the other apartments and I got to know a few who were very friendly and doing a lot of walking like myself. And what a perfect position for walking! I left the car once I arrived and did not use it again. There are so many walks from the door, and the bus service just down the hill is superb and punctual. The grounds are amazing too, with so many birds to see and listen to, and the wonderful red squirrels who come daily to the feeder on the tree right by the terrace. Sitting on the terrace in the evening, listening to the birds and looking down over the lake was a real treat. I hope to visit again.

Beautiful base for exploring the lakes.

Perfect for couples very cosy

Only negative is that key box was really difficult to get into, it was weathered and stiff.

Poorly fingers trying to open it!

The cottage is a great base for travelling around the lakes however be aware if your going out and not using your car there is a very steep hill to climb to get to the cottage which can be very crulling after a long hike

Fabulous bolt hole in the lakes.

Perfect start for walks. Property cosy and beautifully equipped

It was in the perfect location.

The place was cosy and had everything we needed. Parking was good. We wish we had booked a few more days. I would definitely follow the directions from the email as we used the postcode and ended up getting the car stuck down a dirt track. Grasmere is literally down a road and the walks around the place are lovely. Thank you for having us.

This was a small but very comfortable apartment in a beautiful location.

It was a little difficult to find, but due to horrendous traffic problems on the M6 we didn't arrive until midnight. There are, however, great walks right from the garden gate and it's possible to walk into Grasmere itself. At the bottom of the hill on which the apartment is sited is Dove Cottage which was the home of poet William Wordsworth.

Cottage was a delight ,well equipped and comfortable

This is a lovely cosy property in an ideal location, for us.

Easy access to various walks. Cannot fault in any way. Nice to be able to use associated grounds with views overlooking the Lake & distant fells. Would definitely return.

The location of the cottage with direct access to both lakeside and mountain walks was a bonus.

Spacious accommodation with parking right outside. Well equipped and we will certainly stay there again

Excellent directions to property.

Clear instructions in house about how to use appliances/heating. Good facilities - had everything we needed. Lovely location within easy walking distance of the village.

Personal touches by owner were very much appreciated during this Christmas stay, and it was nice to see this level of attention to detail.

It really added to the magic of our first Christmas in the Lakes.

An absolutely wonderful apartment.

Spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. All the little touches of home comfort made it a really lovely place to stay. Home from home.

Disappointed that there was no recycling facilities- not in cottage and none close by.

Lovely location.

Had all facilities we needed. Fortunate to have met the owner.

From the village it's a steep walk up to the property, the views from the terrace make up for that.
