This charming cottage within the grounds and curtilage of Wordsworth's renowned Dove Cottage Estate is ideal for couples and two canine companions seeking a relaxed stay, close to local amenities and Lakeland attractions. Surrounded by historic barns, landscapes, and cottages once part of Wordsworth's world, this is a unique Lakeland experience. This property is perfect for walkers and nature lovers with your hounds leading the way along scenic trails to the sparkling waters of Easedale Tarn, the iconic summit of Helm Crag and the shores of Rydal Water, all within 5 miles.

This welcoming two-storey cottage, in a peaceful corner of the estate with hardly any passing traffic, offers plenty of contemporary comfort. Step inside to discover an inviting lounge and dining area, where a sumptuous sofa invites you to relax beside a cosy wood-burning effect stove. While four paws naps, enjoy a lazy afternoon tea or film night courtesy of the Smart TV. The delightful country-style kitchen has all the appliances you need to whip up tasty treats to enjoy in the lounge dining area. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious bathroom and next door, the restful king-size bedroom with a cute window seat. Outside is a private courtyard with furniture, the perfect spot for sipping your morning coffee. Permit parking is available in the Wordsworth Trust car park, just 100 metres from the cottage. Guests may also pull up close to the property for easy loading and unloading upon arrival.

Set tails wagging with a cruise on Lake Windermere from Ambleside (4.5 miles) and gain a unique perspective of the beautiful lake and fells. For a quieter walk, sniff out adventures at scenic Tarn Hows (9 miles), or for something more adventurous, tackle the Langdale Pikes, less than 10 miles away.

We loved middle cottage. It is incredibly well thought out and had everything we needed. It is so comfortable and cozy in a great location. We couldn't fault it. Thank you for a great holiday.

We enjoyed our week in this bijou cottage which is just the right size for 2 and has just what you need for a break in the Lakes. The bed was very comfortable and upstairs feels surprisingly spacious for a small cottage. The location is excellent: walks from your doorstep, 10 minutes into the centre of Grasmere and of course, just next door to the Read moreWordsworth Museum and Dove Cottage. I strongly recommend the cafe. Complementary tickets to the museum were most appreciated, as was the gift of some jams. Well be back! Hide
