Grasmere great
Hi, We had a wonderful week in Grasmere despite the inclement weather. The dedicated parking spot at the nearby hotel was a godsend. There are a few issues during our stay but the owners quickly and efficiently rectified the issues, Regards, Trevor Quick

Walking in Grasmere
This is an ideal house from which to walk the hills around Grasmere. We filled a week walking from the door. Best of all, the many cafés for tea and cake when we came down from the hills. The house is central in the village, with shop, cafés and pubs within a short distance. The house had everything we needed.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed
We stayed for a week in August (family of 2 adults 2 children and 2 dogs). Very reasonably priced for peak season. Easy and efficient access to the property with easy process for parking in the local pub carpark for the duration of our stay. We had no issues during our stay so no need to contact owners. The cottage had everything we needed and more than we expected - additional kitchen accessories etc. lovely little outdoor area with chair and table. Appreciated the 2 fridges, freezer and tumble dryer. Thanks

Beautiful, convenient setting
The cottage was in the most convenient and idyllic setting. Close to everything. The cottage itself had all the facilities we could ask for and the two (modern and exceptional) bathrooms were a big bonus! Thank you for a wonderful week in Grasmere.
