About this property
f you're looking for a Lakeland character property in a world-renowned location, at the heart of the Lakes and immersed in the landscapes that have inspired artists and poets for hundreds of years, then Pavement End Cottage will leave you enchanted. A detached superbly located cottage with breathtaking unforgettable views over Grasmere Water itself.
Inside the atmosphere is homely but indulgent; sumptuous fabrics and furnishings, those wonderful views from every single window, two living rooms, a conservatory, a very well equipped kitchen and ground floor cloakroom and then upstairs to the three en-suite bedrooms, all with magnificent views. The patio garden also boasts the lake views and all this only a few hundred yards from the heart of Grasmere village centre.
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.

It has the best views of any cottage we have stayed in . This is our second visit to this property. The only problem on this occasion was the cottage had not been properly cleaned prior to our arrival.There was breakfast cereal and some string on the carpets. Upstairs were five dead flies on the carpet and bedding. There was some hair in one of the showers. The kitchen was clean and tidy and otherwise the property was in good order. If the owner wishes to see photos of the above they can be provided on request. I would not let this put you off staying in this cottage as it is brilliant otherwise but the cleaning service used needs to be reviewed.

Great location, beautiful views, hill walks from the door, lots of options for eating out, and home comforts to come back to. It felt like a privilege to stay in what is obviously a well-loved family home - the photos don't do it justice, it is very spacious, ensuite modern bathrooms were a great bonus, and it had everything you needed for cooking etc. We will be recommending to friends and family.

Such a wonderful position just on the edge of the village with the spectacular outlook to the lake and fells beyond. We particularly enjoyed the sun room for its fabulous views in all weathers. Cosy when it rained and heavenly in the sun. A cottage that suits all seasons. Spacious, comfortable and child-friendly. Such a fantastic base for hikes and swimming at the far end of Grasmere lake. We hope to return!
