Fabulous place

This property was fabulous, couldn’t fault it. It was bigger than I was expecting and it was so lovely and comfortable. It was a great location for exploring the Lake District.

Shepherds Crook

A great property right in the centre of Grasmere, near good pubs. Beautifully decorated and furnished with good bathroom facilities and plenty of hot water. Be aware there are lots of stairs. The downside is no parking making unloading and loading cars difficult. Also check out is extremely early at 9:30 and we were still being asked to strip the beds ourselves and be out early, which wasn’t great and there was no sign of the bags they wanted bedding put in. We felt this was a hangover from Covid and not necessary now.

Enchanting stay in Grasmere.

The property was very enjoyable. There were 5 of us. We were a couple with two adult children and an elderly mother. The centralized location of the cottage was ideal. Unfortunately, the mattress in the first bedroom (the double bed) was very uncomfortable. It seemed to have springs nearly poking through in several spots making it nearly unusable. The other mattresses were very comfy.
