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.
