Rest and recharge at this delightful cottage on the edge of Grasmere village, ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking a peaceful escape to the countryside. The property is set in a quiet conservation area with no passing traffic and is an easy drive to explore the wealth of attractions across the breathtaking Lake District. Less than 100 metres from Dove Cottage and Wordsworth's House and Museum, and a mile on foot to National Trust Allan Bank House, there is every opportunity to enjoy a car-free day. Walkers will love the location with plenty of wonderful walking for all abilities – Easedale Tarn, Silver How, Helm Crag and Rydal Water are all within 3 miles. Spend the day on the water at Lake Windermere or head north towards the historic market town of Keswick and enjoy the walk up to atmospheric Castlerigg Stone Circle, all within 15 miles.

Enter this welcoming two-storey property from the secluded courtyard and step down through the patio doors and into a traditional farmhouse kitchen and dining area. This lovely space sets the tone for the vibrant, contemporary styling showcased throughout. In the kitchen, you'll find all the appliances you need to whip up a lazy brunch or a romantic dinner. On days when you are not eating out, there are two stools at a kitchen island to enjoy informal meals. Stairs from the hallway lead to the first floor, where you'll find an inviting lounge with a glorious wood-burner set beneath a solid oak beam and a window looking out towards Silver Howe. The deep, cushioned seating is ideal for snuggling up together and watching your favourite film on the Smart TV, or for planning your next day of adventure. The spacious double bedroom features an elegant bedstead and furniture, providing plenty of storage. An adjacent stylish shower room with a shower cubicle and WC complete the interior of this lovely cottage.

Step outside to make the most of the courtyard, with a table and chairs and ample space to store your bikes and outdoor equipment securely. Parking is by way of permit on the nearby LDNPA car park at Stock Lane, only a 350-metre walk from the cottage. You can pull up close to the property to load/unload.

Lovely cosy cottage, well equipped, comfy and in a lovely location. We did most walks from the door and didn't need to use the car as it was in a great place with a cafe a minute walk away and the Daffodil Hotel opposite.. Would highly recommend and would love to come back to stay here again.

We recently spent a delightful week in a cottage right next to Dove Cottage, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The location is unbeatable--waking up just steps away from the historic home of Wordsworth added a unique charm to our mornings. The cottage itself was lovely, with all the warmth and comfort you'd want for a Lake District escRead moreape. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind, immerse ourselves in nature, and soak in the poetic beauty of the Lake District. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway!

A perfect place to stay for visiting Grasmere. Just outside the village but easy walking distance. The place backs on to Wordsworth's Dove cottage.

Super cute and cosy cottage, really comfortable. Tucked away and private - lots to do within walking distance and loads more to see within 30 min drive. Hope to come back.

The cottage is in a gorgeous area and walkable to the centre of Grasmere town. The shower was a stand out highlight - great water pressure! It was a bit of a challenge finding the cottage at first, instructions could have been clearer as Google doesn't have the exact address. The kitchen was fantastic although didn't have the cleaning equipment thaRead moret the manual said we should have. But overall we loved our stay in the cottage, it's in a perfect location and was very cosy. Hide
