comfy cozy cottage a good location on the edge of the village but just a five minute walk from amenities. I think the only downside was the garden that is pictured in the description doesn’t really confirm or show that it’s not secure if you have a dog it’s actually just a parking area/driveway with a large unsecured opening so you don’t have the freedom to just safely let your dog out

Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage with everything we needed for a home from home in Grasmere. Off street parking so we could leave the car & enjoy walks right from the door.Garden is at the front & not enclosed so not ideal for everyone.
