Thank you for your kind comment. Low Croft is an ideal base for a holiday. All amenities are close by, private parking in the courtyard is an advantage. There are numerous walks from the doorstep and a bus stop is close by. Grasmere also provided perfect weather for your stay.

Week in the Lake District

Well maintained cottage away from the streets and good parking. The Lake District has so much to offer and we had fun and learning at the same time. Enjoyed the Goat Mountain 8 Lakes Spectacular and the visit to Richard Wordssmith’s cottage and museum.

Summer break

We had a lovely time in grasmere. The property was bang in the centre of the village, it was spotlessly clean and had plenty of space for the family. We parked the car up on day one and utilised the £2 bus to all the tourists spots most of our stay. Great holiday and wonderful property

Hi James Thank you for you kind review. I am pleased you and your family had good time at Low Croft and found the accommodation ideal. Having the designated parking space and the £2 bus fares certainly is an advantage as parking can be difficult and expensive. We hope we may see you again. Ann

Location is great

Stayed 7 nights and really enjoyed Grasmere. This place is centrally located. For those of you not familiar with small town UK (like me), the name of the cottage is on the building so the very general location of the cottage given by VRBO is nothing to worry about. The only thing missing from this place was shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We had to run out to the store for these things and needed to get toilet paper mid week. Otherwise a lovely stay.

Relaxing weekend

The property was clean and had all facilities we required for a weekend walking in Lakes. Right in the middle of Grasmere, within easy walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. Lovely to meet the owner on Sunday and the beautiful vase of roses was a very nice gesture. Would certainly stay there again.

Very convenient location. Private and quiet. Clean and comfortable. Self-closing fire doors a bit of an irritation. Would have liked a DVD player. We would stay there again.

Quiet location in heart of village

An ideal location from which to explore both the immediate vicinity and the wider area. Surprisingly quiet bearing in mind it’s location in the centre of the village.

Great week at Grasmere and Low Croft cottage

We really enjoyed our week at Low Croft. The cottage is in a quiet location in the centre of the village with all the usual amenities on the doorstep. We loved being able to do so many walks directly from Grasmere and only used the car once during the week. The cottage is very clean, cosy and very well equipped and a great place to return to after a day on the fells. We would love to holiday here again.

A quiet, clean, very central cottage in Grasmere

Ann's property is wonderfully situated, right in the middle of the village, but very quiet and calm. It's immaculately clean, and well equipped. The perfect place from which to go walking - you can get to Elterwater, the Hows, even Scafell if you're ambitious! And there are bus routes from a bus stop about 2 minutes away.
