Location

Right at the heart of the Lakes, Grasmere is renowned for its rural charms and links with the famous poet William Wordsworth. He lived in Grasmere, in Dove Cottage (open to the public) whilst creating his most renowned work, and was inspired by the scenery you'll enjoy from the windows of your self-catering cottage. His grave in the village, is one of the world's most visited literary shrines.Grasmere itself is a wonderful place to spend a self-catering break; a charming village centre to explore, with Lakeland art galleries, tasty delicatessens and a Co-op mini market for your self-catering kitchen, and plenty of tempting tea rooms and restaurants. Don't miss the Good Food Guide listed Jumble Room restaurant in the village.

Grasmere's central location makes it ideal for day trips throughout the Lake District. Rydal Water and Ambleside are nearby, and the village sits just off one of the main navigating routes through the Lake District. For walkers, the starting point for Helvellyn is only a short drive away at Thirlmere.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well equipped.

Everything we needed was there for a great stay near Grasmere. Close enough to walk via a number of alternative paths to the village in less than 10 minutes. Easy to get to Keswick or Ambleside via the main road. Well recommended property.

The perfect cottage for our party of 7.

Brilliant location, not only in easy reach of Grasmere, but close to bus routes to explore other areas. Walks from the property too. The best equipped cottage I have ever stayed in!
