  • Stylish Lakeland retreat just half a mile from Grasmere Lake
  • Period cottage featuring traditional stone flags and wooden beams
  • The master suite enjoys private access to a balcony overlooking the rear garden

Property code: OC-GL098

Stunning Lakeland cottage located half a mile from Grasmere Lake and offering plenty of space for a party of eight and their canine companion. The property provides a splendid base for exploring Cumbria's countryside and coastline thanks to its period features, a welcoming wood burner, and a peaceful rear garden.

On arrival at this lovely holiday home, you'll first notice the stone flags and thick wooden beams that add character and texture to your gorgeous living room space. Swig mouthfuls of tea as you relax after a long day of walking while your head chef takes to the contemporary kitchen/diner and whips up a family feast. The rear garden is a delight to unwind in, with its tree-lined borders and an idyllic patio for those early morning breakfasts. At bedtime, a handy bedroom with an en-suite wet room and private entrance sits on the ground floor, while upstairs, three further beds offer solace in tasteful and peaceful surroundings. The piece de resistance is the private balcony leading from the beautifully decorated master suite and overlooks the rolling greenery of the garden. It's a true gem to wake up to!

Arguably one of Cumbria's prettiest villages, Grasmere has earned its kudos from former resident William Wordsworth, who grew up in Dove Cottage (0.5 miles) and the National Trust's Allan Bank (400 metres), both of which are available to view. Keen ramblers will be spoilt for choice with the surrounding fells, including the tranquil expanse of Easedale Tarn (2 miles), or Rydal Water, with its all-ability trails and a stately home to wander. Sample some of the Lake District's finest cuisines with a visit to one of the bars and restaurants just metres from the holiday home.

Fabulous location, close to centre of village and very spacious cottage. Lay out worked well for three families with young children. We would definitely return.

Weve just had Christmas 2023 week staying in Orchard View which is based in the beautiful village of Grasmere so ideally located in the centre of the national park and only a stones throw from the main street but lovely and quiet. The cottage was lovely and warm with heated bathroom floors and very cosy when it was stormy and raining outside!! TheRead more kitchen is very well equipped and big enough if eight of you are staying. Be aware if staying in the winter, there is nowhere in Grasmere that sells extra logs for the fire if you would like some. All in all, we had a great holiday. Hide

Lovely property, plenty of room for 8 adults and an infant. Great location right in the centre of Grasmere. Parking for 3 cars easily but we squeezed in a forth. House was clean and tidy, had everything we needed.

House was perfectly situated in Grasmere. Plenty of parking which is a big bonus. The house itself is a little battered and tired and the carpets are very grubby. However, the downstairs bedroom and bathroom look to have recently been refurbed which was great. The house is in need of updating but is still very comfortable. The showers are very gooRead mored too. Beautiful garden but sadly couldnt use it as it is not secure for our small dog. This aspect was very disappointing as we had beautiful weather but couldnt spend time in the garden. It really wouldnt take much to fence off the two open areas. Doing this would be fantastic for people with dogs. We had a really lovely holiday in Orchard View, despite it needing a little tlc. Hide

The cottage was in an amazing location and very well equipped. Only a couple of bits that would have made it easier: 1. The property inventory was difficult to understand - I just wanted to know if certain things were in the property, e.g. hairdryer so I didnt have to bring my own. But the 3*, 4* etc on the list made no sense to me 2. There was a Read morelot of dust in the property which made my daughter sneeze all week (I thought this was probably due to it being an older property but she thought it could have been cleaner) Hide
