“Water drained away from the upstairs bathroom and en suite basins very slowly.”

They probably need cleaning out. Very disappointing that there is not a king size bed in the upstairs main bedroom. There is room for one with small bedside tables each side. House very cosy and warm. It is very comfortable and kitchen well equiped.

“This was our second stay, excellent views and good position for the village.”

We only had six adults this year and this was comfortable, I would say that the accomodation should be listed as three adult bedrooms and a childrens room.

“Pros: fantastic cottage, great location, amazing views.”

Good customer service, they were quick to sort out a couple of issues we had. Cons: the under floor heating was on too hot. There are no instructions on how to turn it down. The thermostat were on a program and set too high. Even after speaking with customer services, I didn't feel like we knew what to do. On the other hand it was cold in the evening in the downstairs lounge. One last thing, it would be good to have a small saucepan. They were all very big. Note that the Tefal non-stick pan is badly worn and not safe to use. It should be replaced really.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
