Enjoy everything Grasmere has to offer from this stylish base, a spacious three-bedroom house close to local eateries, shops and attractions. Head out on memorable walks nearby, including a water-side trail around Grasmere’s lake (0.5 miles), one the District’s smaller lakes, before heading back for an evening tipple in the property’s charming garden.

The house is sleek and stylish with contemporary interiors and a homely feel.

Prepare tasty fare in the kitchen/diner, which has everything you need plus a coffee machine for your morning cuppa, and enjoy meals together at the rustic, farmhouse-style dining table.

Great location, comfy beds, and plenty of space. Really quiet but convenient location, just what we needed. The property is comfy, but could do with some improvement and a bit more care to modernise it in some areas.

Quiet, off the main road and within easy reach of the village. The property was clean and warm with all the necessary equipment you'd need for your stay. However it is very dated inside and needs redecorating. The outside is grubby and the paintwork is peeling badly. Be warned, it's a three bed house but only has parking for one car. If you can Read moreput up these points it's a comfortable warm place for a break in the lakes. Hide

A very quiet and comfortable stay. The location is excellent in a quiet cul-de-sac near to the village amenities. The property could use some upgrading but that fact does not detract from the enjoyment of our stay

Lovely few days at Greenheys cottage. It location is excellent. The cottage is well equipped but a little outdated. We had problems trying to turn the heating off on what has been the hottest weekend this year!
