Grasmere is a village in the Lake District National Park, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where they have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. There is shops, pubs, a 13th century churcy and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August. 5 miles away is 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.

We compared to the cottage next door and theirâs was fine. We were not able to drink it. Very disappointed with the response from Sykes. They did deliver 15L of water and apparently someone visited the cottage and said it was ok when it was not. The problem persisted and Sykes failed to call us back despite advising that they would on more than one occasion. We managed the week with bottled water but not ideal. Weâve stayed in this cottage before and never previously had a problem. Cottage also suffering from damp with black mould on bedroom wall although appreciate this is an old cottage and this may be difficult to manage.

The latter two issues were fixed promptly following a call to Sykes. The patio area, shown as neat and tidy in the photo's, was overgrown with weeds. There was evidence of inadequate cleaning, i.e dust accumulated in a couple of places. The photos also showed tea and coffee in the kitchen, implying that some sort of "welcome pack" would be provided. It was not. Positives were that once the shower was fixed it was good, and the location at the heart of the village was convenient. Although the parking permit was for a car park around 100 yards from the property, there was no problem parking immediately outside for a short period for loading/unloading.

. itâs very comfortable and really well located in the centre of Grasmere. The parking permit was very handy and we loved having two ensuite bathrooms. The washing machine was not working unfortunately but hopefully it will have been fixed in time for the next guests. Also in case you are a light sleeper itâs probably not for you as from the main bedroom you can hear people going up and down the stairs to the 1st floor property quite loudly. All in all tho a lovely place to stay and we would very much like to return.
