About this property

Cosy cottage in quiet courtyard in Grasmere village with private parking

Low Croft is a stones throw from the centre of grasmere village. It has the advantage of one parking space where you can leave your car whilst you explore the village and surrounding area. It is possible to park up on arrival and not use the car again until you leave. There is a bus stop by the village green. All walks start from the village centre - Helm crag, Silver Howe, Loughrigg, Easedale Tarn, Alcock Tarn and of course Helvellyn. There are too many walks to list. Low Croft is also close to the
shops, restaurants, pubs and bus stops. The lake is close by where you can hire
rowing boats. You can also explore the area by bicycle which you can leave in the utility room. Changeover day - Saturday. Weekly lets saturday to saturday from March to November

Week in the Lake District
Well maintained cottage away from the streets and good parking. The Lake District has so much to offer and we had fun and learning at the same time. Enjoyed the Goat Mountain 8 Lakes Spectacular and the visit to Richard Wordssmith’s cottage and museum.

Summer break
We had a lovely time in grasmere. The property was bang in the centre of the village, it was spotlessly clean and had plenty of space for the family. We parked the car up on day one and utilised the £2 bus to all the tourists spots most of our stay. Great holiday and wonderful property

Location is great
Stayed 7 nights and really enjoyed Grasmere. This place is centrally located. For those of you not familiar with small town UK (like me), the name of the cottage is on the building so the very general location of the cottage given by VRBO is nothing to worry about. The only thing missing from this place was shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We had to run out to the store for these things and needed to get toilet paper mid week. Otherwise a lovely stay.

Relaxing weekend
The property was clean and had all facilities we required for a weekend walking in Lakes. Right in the middle of Grasmere, within easy walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. Lovely to meet the owner on Sunday and the beautiful vase of roses was a very nice gesture. Would certainly stay there again.

An ideal location from which to explore both the immediate vicinity and the wider area. Surprisingly quiet bearing in mind it’s location in the centre of the village.

Great week at Grasmere and Low Croft cottage
We really enjoyed our week at Low Croft. The cottage is in a quiet location in the centre of the village with all the usual amenities on the doorstep. We loved being able to do so many walks directly from Grasmere and only used the car once during the week. The cottage is very clean, cosy and very well equipped and a great place to return to after a day on the fells. We would love to holiday here again.

A quiet, clean, very central cottage in Grasmere
Ann's property is wonderfully situated, right in the middle of the village, but very quiet and calm. It's immaculately clean, and well equipped. The perfect place from which to go walking - you can get to Elterwater, the Hows, even Scafell if you're ambitious! And there are bus routes from a bus stop about 2 minutes away.
