This sweet holiday apartment in the heart of Grasmere is perfect for couples, solo travellers and one lucky pup seeking a peaceful base for an active holiday discovering the Lake District. A relaxed setting with the gentle River Rothay flowing behind, let your pup lead you to experience a lovely selection of pubs, cafes and a visit to Allan Bank, all within 350 metres. Keen walkers can climb nearby Helm Crag (1 mile) and enjoy scenic trails around Grasmere Lake (1.5 miles).

Access this attractive apartment via an external staircase and secure entrance hall on the first floor. Inside is a beautiful open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner with bright white walls and pops of colour in the chic decor. A shaker-style kitchen has all the appliances necessary to whip up a lazy lunch or romantic dinner. Meanwhile, a breakfast bar with stools is ideal for relaxed dining. Follow four paws into the lounge, where you can unwind on the deep-cushioned sofa with a lazy afternoon tea or watch a favourite film on the Smart TV. The bay window ensures plenty of natural light and frames the views of the green and fells. Sleep soundly in a king-size bedroom with wooden blinds and ample storage. A stylish walk-in shower room completes the interior. There is private parking for one car. Although there's no dedicated outdoor space, you can enjoy local footpaths and riverside strolls from the door.

Have a ball as you discover the various Lake District landscapes. For a lazy day, take a cruise on Lake Windermere from nearby Waterhead Pier (5 miles). There are plenty of walks for all abilities within 10 miles, including low-level walks around Elterwater, walks up Wansfell Pike, and challenging hikes in the Langdales. Alternatively, leave no stick unfetched on off-lead adventures in Grizedale Forest (12 miles).

Pros: excellent position; cosy apartment for 2; comfy bed but beware not much space between bed & wall; plenty of draws & hangers; comfy sofa; lovely views of village green & fells beyond from windows. Cons: disappointed to find no welcome pack other than 2pints of milk in fridge, usually have local biscuits/choc etc.

Beautiful cosy apartment right in the centre of Grasmere. Whilst we were there a new thick mattress was delivered. Very comfortable. The owner sorted all this out and we were not inconvenienced at all. This is our third visit and we will definitely be booking again.

Lovely apartment in a brilliant location for exploring Grasmere and surrounding walks. Kitchen and bathroom both very clean and tidy. Our only complaint was the bed, the mattress is uncomfortable. The springs stick out and constantly squeak with the slightest movement. Other than that a very nice apartment. (From Lakeland Retreats - New Mattress fRead morerom February 2025) Hide

Great location, clean and every thing we needed for our short stay. Parking on site is great if not a little tight for a larger car.

Cosy flat in a great location. The kitchen was well equipped and both the kitchen and bathroom were very modern. There was an issue with the boiler while we were there so we had to call the emergency number as it was during the evening, but they responded immediately and were able to sort it out straight away. We really enjoyed our stay. The only sRead moremall criticism I had was that the mattress wasn't the most comfortable. Hide
