Take in the views out over the still waters of Grasmere when you retreat to this Lake District farmhouse. Sleeping 11 guests, and welcoming dogs, the five-bedroom property is ideal for a group getaway. Featuring large rooms, a winter-warming wood burner and a delightful garden with a stream, it is 1 mile from Grasmere and 5 miles from Ambleside and well positioned for picturesque walks.
Wander inside to find ample shoe and coat storage in the hall, then spread out to enjoy the exceptional relaxation space. Choose between the lounge, where you can stoke up the wood burner, and then play games or watch TV together, and the study, which is ideal for those seeking time away from the throng. Take turns playing chef in the kitchen, where you will have to tear yourselves away from the views, then serve up grand feasts in the impressive dining room. There is also a utility room and a WC downstairs, as well as a family bedroom, with a king-size bed, a single and an en-suite shower room. The first floor is split into two landings, one leading to a king-size bedroom and en-suite bathroom and the other to a double, a twin and another king-size, with an en-suite bathroom, which has a freestanding bath. There is also a family shower room and an extra WC. Make the most of the garden, where you can dine out in the sunshine, watch your pet run about and supervise the children by the stream.
Potter in the shops in Grasmere, visit the museum dedicated to the life and work of William Wordsworth and ponder in the famous gingerbread shop. Head into Ambleside for an even broader selection of retail outlets and eateries and from here, stroll 1 mile down to the shores of Lake Windermere.
