Town: 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.

Beautiful cottage but minor tweaks could make it almost perfect.

Characterful old cottage in a quiet, peaceful location ,away from the main road but an easy walk to the village of Grasmere and also a nice local pub. Beautiful garden. Navigating the road around the cottage can be a challenge with parked cars often blocking or nearly blocking access. Tall people need to be aware the house has low beams. Very disappointed that only two (partial) toilet rolls provided, only one set of towels per room, no paper kitchen towel and just a couple of very cheap dishwasher pods suppled for a 5 night stay. The upstairs bathroom bathtub looks wonderful but is unusable. No no-slip bath mat and a hand held shower only. Hot water pressure is ridiculously low (it would take a week to fill a bath!). Also, not mentioned is the fact that the laundry facilities are in a separate outbuilding.

Stayed 5 nights in May 2023
