Overview

Beautiful manor house set in the stunning surroundings of Grasmere with spectacular lake views and amazing scenery to enjoy in this wonderful location.

Gaze out across the water from this splendid holiday home in the Lake District. Set within a wing of a former grand country home, the exceptional retreat benefits from commanding views thanks to its enviable position in Grasmere. The four-bedroom property sleeps eight guests and a dog, and could be perfect for two families or even a group of friends. Enjoy your proximity to the shops and eateries of Grasmere, as well as those of Ambleside, about 4.5 miles away. Spend days out on the shores of Lake Windermere, about 5 miles from the house.

Step into this imposing property, leave your outerwear in the boot room, and make your way into the lounge, with its picture windows that draw the vistas right inside. Stoke up the wood burner on chilly days and find a film to enjoy together on the Smart TV. Prepare hearty feasts through in the kitchen/diner or perch at the breakfast bar with a cup of tea and a slice of Grasmere gingerbread. Serve up in style in the dining room. You also have a dishwasher, washing machine and everything else you need to make this a comfortable stay. There is one family shower room at this level and another up the impressive staircase, on the first floor. A king-size bedroom and an en-suite shower room, a bunk bedroom for children, and two double rooms are also here. Outside, soak up the sunshine and the views out in your private seating area. You also have parking for three cars.

Head into Ambleside to browse in the shops and dine out in a pub or restaurant serving meals cooked with fresh, local produce. Take a carriage or walk the 1 mile down to Windermere to board a launch that will take you out on the magnificent lake.

Beautiful setting overlooking lake. Lovely walk into village but entrance driveway very steep for elderly or disabled. House was freezing on arrival and we had great difficulty trying to understand the thermostat etc.. Garden in a sleep slope so not really useable.

We had a lovely stay during October half term. The view fro the sitting room is amazing, and we loved watching red squirrels and other wildlife. Its an easy walk into Grasmere, the location is great. We did struggle with the heating and hot water settings, this has been fed back to the company.

East House is in a beautiful location with gorgeous views across Grasmere. Five minutes walk to the village where youll find lots of pubs, restaurants, shops and the local coop for all your needs. Advertised enclosed garden not really dog friendly though as your pooch must be kept on lead at all times.

Warm, well resourced house. Very comfortable and plenty of space for us and our dog. It had everything we needed to relax and also to cook up a storm in the kitchen. The location was superb, just 5 minutes from the village with its shops and eateries/pubs. There are lots of walks locally and it made a perfect base for our trip.

The cottage location and lake views were fantastic. Just a 5 minute walk to Grasmere village. The size of the cottage for our party of 5 adults and 2 children was more than adequate, we had plenty of room to relax and enjoy. The log burner was lovely to have on in the evening so warm and cosy. I would definitely book again

Lovely house, amazing views, great wood burning stove, the best location for Grasmere. Bedrooms and kitchen feeling slightly dated for high price rental but passable. The prices of houses in the lakes have gone up enormously in recent years, owners have to be careful to meet high price expectations with beds/pillows/decor/equipment/etc - you can't Read moredouble/triple the price and keep to old levels.

Lovely accommodation for 8, well proportioned rooms, beautiful location. Outside space is very limited and not well set up for outside eating. You can launch paddleboards if the cafe at the bottom of the drive is open but if not the lake is challenging to access if you want to paddle.
