    “Lovely house with an amazing garden.”

    Quite a steep, twisty lane to access the property but well worth the effort. The property is semi detached but feels very private and we met the neighbour and he is delightful There were sheep in the next field when we stayed but the fence was well maintained and the garden was secure, although the wall between the houses by the stream could be scaled by an athletic dog if left unsupervised. Felt very homely and a really lovely place to stay. We would definitely recommend it for a holiday ...

About the location

GRIZEDALE

Grizedale is a quiet hamlet that lies just 8-miles outside of the bustle of Ambleside. It is the forest cycling trails, treetop adventures and famous artist sculptures of Grizedale Forest that gives the area its greatest prominence. Grizedale also benefits from being flanked on either side by two of the Lake District’s most magnificent bodies of water, Windermere and Coniston Water. Both lakes offer one of the most extraordinary ways to experience the Lake District – from on the water, either on a traditional steam cruise, adventurous Stand-Up Paddle Board (SUP) or on a private yacht, you’ll feel a million miles away from anywhere.
Grizedale is packed with things to do and see yet still benefits from being quiet as it is tucked away from the hustle and bustle. In Grizedale, you’ll find stunning scenery and views that stretch right across the Lake District’s famous mountain ranges, lots of outdoor activities as well as top-notch eateries and great local pubs.
Forestry England maintain the magnificent Grizedale Forest, with miles of paths to explore that weave at different gradients in and around the peak of Carron Crag. Grizedale offers a enjoy a relaxing break in one of England’s top mountain forests.
