Property code: OC-GL008

Stay in a spacious country cottage overlooking Grasmere Water, Heron Pike and the surrounding fells with a large group of friends or family plus three canine companions. During the daytime, enjoy long relaxing strolls around the lake, or if you’re feeling up for a challenge, climb to the top of one of the surrounding mountains or hills. When you return to your welcoming holiday home, enjoy gathering with your guests in the grand dining room with a wooden beamed ceiling or sink into some bubbles in the roll-top bath.

Inside the spacious lounge is seating for 12 where you can rest weary paws after a day of adventure. Continue through the lounge to reach the study, with another TV and additional seating. When it’s time to cook a special meal for your guests, head to the oak-fitted kitchen with spectacular views of the countryside. The dining room has a long table with seating for 12. A family bedroom with a king-size bed and single bed plus an en-suite is also on this level. Upstairs is the master bedroom with an en-suite. Continue to the upper landing to find a double room, a king-size and a twin room plus a bathroom and separate WC. Outside is a terrace with furniture, a patio and grassed area so everyone can enjoy some al fresco dining.

Sitting on the edge of Grasmere Water, this property benefits from spectacular walking routes from your doorstep. There are also woods on the opposite side of the property from the lake (less than 0.5 miles). The rural location creates a sense of tranquillity, which will ensure a relaxing stay. The nearest shops, canine-welcoming restaurants and cafes are in the village of Grasmere (1 mile). Grasmere Waterfall Walkways is 0.5 miles and River Rothay Grasmere Foot Bridge is 2 miles away, which are both worth a visit.

Amazing location and perfect for a family holiday, incl 87 yr old mother. Lots of space and character. Some issues with hot water/showers but otherwise nice property.

A great place for a family holiday. Having two large sitting rooms was a real plus in the evenings. Just a ten minute walk to the lake which all the family enjoyed.

We loved the property but it was a little cold for January - not all of the lounge radiators warmed up and the fire didn't heat the lounge sufficiently. Not sure if there was a note to say firewood isn't supplied.

Brilliant location and excellent large rooms for dining and socialising - plenty of space for eating outside on two large picnic tables. Beautiful views from the bedrooms upstairs. Perfect for a large family or group of friends. Village only 20 min stroll away and fantastic walks straight out of the front door, no need to drive once you park up.

Overall a lovely large property with plenty of room. We had a family reunion which we enjoyed especially as the weather was good and the lake used by the youngsters. However, we were told by the cleaners that the previous tenants had left it in a bad state, and indeed we had to call maintenance to get the sofa seats cleaned as they smelled of uriRead morene. They came very quickly and were excellent, thank you - and also repaired the kitchen tap which was leaking badly. For pets the terrace really needs a gate at the top of the steps to the garden - as part of this is shared with other properties. Although there is a cattle grid, it would be possible for dogs to jump over it and access the road which can be busy with cars and walkers Hide
