This characterful holiday home is a stunning cottage offering luxury accommodation for six people and one lucky dog. From the ground floor entrance hall head up the stairs to the beautiful living accommodation. On the first floor is the fantastic living room, with a cosy wood burner perfect for relaxing evenings, and the well equipped dining kitchen. Also on this floor is a lovely super king size room (this room can be made up as a twin on request) and a marvellous shower room with monsoon shower. Up on the second floor are the further two bedrooms, both king-size rooms with their own luxurious en-suite bathrooms and walk-in dressing rooms. Complimentary toiletries are provided in each bathroom, a real treat. There is private parking for two cars at the cottage, a real bonus so close to the centre of Grasmere. For guest use only, there is an Easee One, Type 2 untethered 7KW electric vehicle charger. There is no charge for using the EV charger, but you will need to provide your own charging lead compatible with a type 2 charging socket. 

The centre of Grasmere is a short walk from the house. This pretty village is rightly popular with visitors and locals alike. There are a great selection of independent shops for those who'd like to indulge in some retail therapy and some lovely independent cafes for that all important coffee and homemade cake pitstop. Fancy an evening off from cooking? Treat yourselves to a hearty meal in a convivial atmosphere at popular Tweedies Bar or head to the quirky Jumble Room for some delicious home cooked dishes. There are plenty of wonderful walks nearby too. Head up local fell Loughrigg for stunning panoramic views or take the walk from the village up to Easedale Tarn, a beautiful spot for a picnic lunch. Both dogs and humans will love exploring the woodland paths at White Moss.

Take a scenic drive south from Grasmere to Ambleside. Here you can treat yourselves to dinner and a movie at Zeffirellis with its multiscreen cinema and Italian restaurant - it's a lovely evening out. Enjoy a cruise round Lake Windermere or hop on the ferry to Hawkshead across the water, another charming village that was once home to Beatrix Potter. Why not spend a day exploring the magnificent Langdale Valley? With its rugged mountains and peaceful tarns, it's a must for any avid fell walker. Head up Lingmoor Fell for stunning, panoramic views of the lakes. Stop off at one of the traditional pubs on your way back for a hearty meal and refreshing drink.

Leave wet coats and boots in the ground floor entrance hall before continuing up the stairs to the first floor and the main living accommodation.

The modern country style dining kitchen is full of character and has all the modern conveniences you could hope for. With a range cooker that has two electric ovens, grill, gas and ceramic hobs, a handy microwave, fridge/freezer, useful washer/dryer and dishwasher, this kitchen is sure to be a hit with the cooks in the group.

The house and fittings/facilities etc were fantastic, very comfortable for our party of 5 and the location was spot on - just a short 5-10 minute stroll into the centre of Grasmere. The only (very) slight negative was that we couldn't just open a door to let the dog out into the garden due to the fact that garden access was via a gate from next to Read morethe car parking space, not direct from the house, however this did not detract from the excellent property and we would definitely return in future!

Fantastic cottage on two upper floors with lovely views over to Helm Crag. Kitted out to a high specification with multiple TVs and modern furnishings. A lot of thought had gone into providing consumables like dishwasher tablets, tea bags etc. The bottles of beer and wine went down well. The cottage is in a great location - 200m or so from GrasmereRead more centre, near shops and many pubs and restaurants. Hide
