Set in the quaint village of Grasmere in the heart of the Lake District, this inviting cottage makes the perfect base for a family getaway. Its prime location means that guests are never far from the National Park’s best destinations, such as the popular town of Windermere and its vast lake (9 miles), where guests can spend the day before returning for an evening spent in the cosy confines of their rural cottage.
The cottage makes for a relaxing home from home and has everything you need for a comfy stay. After a day on the fells, relax on the inviting sofas in the stylish lounge/diner with your favourite film playing on the Smart TV, as the chef prepares a family feast in the well-equipped kitchen next door. After enjoying the chef’s work at the dining table, head upstairs for a well-deserved night’s sleep in the two bedrooms that await; a cosy double with its own Smart TV and an airy twin bedroom. Completing the interior is a well-appointed family bathroom where you can relax in the bathtub after a day on your feet. Through the back door in the kitchen, guests will find the outside space, a pretty, decked courtyard with outside furniture, the perfect spot for a morning cuppa or al fresco dinner.
Head to Grasmere’s lake (0.5 miles), one of the smaller lakes in the region, to enjoy scenic adventures on foot or bike along the water’s edge. For some quintessential Lake District towns, catch a bus that stops opposite the cottage and head to the market town of Ambleside (4.5 miles), or visit one of the region’s most popular towns, Keswick (12.5 miles). In Keswick, guests can amble through the streets, busy with walking supplies shops, local pubs and restaurants, as well as find the starting point to many of the area’s most scenic walking trails.
