“Really nice location, had almost everything we needed, great to have off-road parking as well. The info booklet was very helpful for planning walks etc. The TV having Netflix was a nice thing, and the bed was very comfortable”

Property info

The cottage has steep ladder type stairs and restricted access over part ofthe bath - it is therefore not suitable for those with mobility issues. Thewifi is normally good but the router is shared with, and located in, FirTree cottage on the same site, and is occasionally interrupted. There isnormally a good 4G signal.

Neighborhood info

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 have 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, plus 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.
