Tucked at the back of the village of Grange on a very quiet road lies this tranquil cottage. It is warm and welcoming - everything worked well from the Aga to keep the house cosy on rainy days - and we had several ! . Id keep any children ( and my elderly parent) away from using the Aga as it is super hot however we got used to using it pretty quicRead morekly and it was a very cool feature . A superbly stocked kitchen with pretty much every gadget needed for cooking and plenty of plates / silverware . All the beds were very comfortable and rooms a good size . Beautiful views from all the windows - and garden plenty space for parking ( which is hard to come by on many rental properties ) lovely cafe in the village ( walkable) and local farms you can walk to to buy local produce. The best part for us was being able to walk out the door and on to the paths of the fells with lots of directions to go without getting in the car - Amazing! Hide

Gratitude is in a very beautiful location and is well served by local buses which means you don't have to climb in your car every time you go out. We found the property perfect for our stay.

Gratitude is by far the most well-appointed holiday cottage we have stayed in, and in a perfect location. It was very clean and tastefully decorated throughout.

Although the Aga stove took a bit of getting used to, it performed well. We would very happily return in the future. Hide

What a great place to stay- in the heart of Borrowdale, lovely walks from the front door, quiet with wonderful views. The house was spacious and extremely well appointed- a lot of careful thought has gone in to create this place. Close to places to eat when we wanted. Keswick and all of the surrounding fells were easily accessible. Thank you

It would have been 5 star throughout if we hadn't had a problem with the Aga which meant we had to have two evening meals at hotels; also it takes very careful management if doing a dinner for eight. Otherwise the cottage is very well equiped. Excellent cottage is superb location.
