Walking in Grasmere

This is an ideal house from which to walk the hills around Grasmere. We filled a week walking from the door. Best of all, the many cafés for tea and cake when we came down from the hills. The house is central in the village, with shop, cafés and pubs within a short distance. The house had everything we needed.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed

We stayed for a week in August (family of 2 adults 2 children and 2 dogs). Very reasonably priced for peak season. Easy and efficient access to the property with easy process for parking in the local pub carpark for the duration of our stay. We had no issues during our stay so no need to contact owners. The cottage had everything we needed and more than we expected - additional kitchen accessories etc. lovely little outdoor area with chair and table. Appreciated the 2 fridges, freezer and tumble dryer. Thanks

Family Break

We arrived and found the key easily. Cottage was a joy for us. Having a freezer was a bonus. Lots of space and everything we needed. Quiet in the evenings and night. We hope to book again.
