Treat yourselves to a stay at the heart of picture-postcard Grasmere. Situated above a shop and restaurant, this apartment provides the perfect opportunity to discover the historic, Lakeland village, which was once home to poet William Wordsworth. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom bolthole boasts a wealth of character. It is 0.5 miles from Grasmere Water and 4 miles from the market town of Ambleside, with its access to Lake Windermere.

Make your way up to the apartment and enter to find a hall with space for walking boots and jackets. Head through to the lounge/diner, with its large window overlooking the village. Gather here to play games, find a film on the TV and dine together at the table. The kitchen has everything you need to help you cater for your party with the tasty produce you have sourced nearby. As day turns to night and you are ready to rest and recuperate, head through to one of your beautiful bedrooms. These include a superb king-size, with beams and an en-suite shower room. There is also a twin room that can be arranged as a super-king instead by prior discussion. This bedroom has its own TV. There is also a family bathroom in the apartment. Although there is no outside space with this property, the gorgeous Wordsworth Daffodil Garden is within 350 metres.

Make your way into Ambleside to discover a wider range of independent shops and eateries. From here, book a carriage or walk 1 mile to Waterhead to board a cruise on Windermere. Hire boats to take yourselves out onto the water instead. Visit Rydal Mount and Gardens, 2.5 miles from the apartment, to stroll around the exquisite house and gardens where Wordsworth lived and take in the impressive views of Windermere and Rydal Water.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 zip-and-link super-king-size that can be made into a twin on request when booking
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with double shower and WC

A beautiful, spacious and characterful apartment ideally positioned in the centre of Grasmere, with a choice of fell walks from the door which meant that our car wasnt moved from its allotted space outside the door. Spinners is one of the best equipped holiday lets that we have stayed in. We were there during a cold and wet week in February but SpiRead morenners was warm and the lovely throws and blankets made it feel extra cosy in the evenings. The large heated area in the hall was perfect for coats, boots, rucksacks etc with a large coat rail and big trays to put wet boots in. Were often disappointed that other owners dont provide this simple solution to wet walking gear. We will definitely return to Spinners in the near future. Thank you to the owners for making this a home from home, you have thought of everything. Hide

Spinners is a beautiful apartment in a beautiful village. Apartment is extremely well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for two couples to enjoy together and still have complete privacy. My only reservation is that possibly best for couples with no mobility issues. The restaurant Goody Blakes severs excellent food, with very friendly staff. The cafe Read moreby the bridge serves the best bacon sandwiches we have every tasted. The staff in the Mountain Warehouse also very friendly. The bus services through the village mean that you can travel over a wide area and leave the car on the car park. Honister Pass and Kirkstone Pass on the bus is something I will never forget. We did the twice. All in all and excellent 2 week holiday. Hide

A nice apartment which would benefit greatly from central heating. I appreciate we made a late booking but there was a distinct lack of heat when we arrived. So much so we ate out the first night, not our plan after a long drive. We used 4 blanket throws on the bed, and I am an outdoor person! We adjusted the controls on the storage heaters which iRead moremproved things slightly. It is the only property we have been to where there has not been a welcome pack. Thank goodness I remembered tea bags as the only thing in the kitchen cupboards was Salt and Pepper. Very well equipped plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses etc. Very conveniently position with the bonus of off road parking. Beneath the apartment is Goody Blakes Restaurant with an excellent menu, superb chef and lovely ambience. Would I recommend, yes, but possibly not in cold weather. Hide

We really enjoyed our week in 'Spinners'. It is spacious, cosy and very well appointed, in a great location. Little things like having a parking space and (3) smart TVs weren't part of why we chose it, but ended up being very welcome - especially when the February rain was hammering down!
