About this property

Cottage in Grasmere near Lake & Scenic Trails

Welcome to this historic Grade II listed gem nestled in the picturesque Vale of Grasmere, at the heart of the English Lake District. Dating back to 1688, this charming cottage serves as an ideal base for hikers, walkers, and pet lovers eager to explore the breathtaking Lakeland fells. Characterized by its rustic charm, the cottage features original elements that tell a story of its rich history. While heating is provided by storage heaters, an aspect that may take some time to warm up—these quirks only add to the cottage's enchanting character. After a day of adventure, you'll find ample space to store muddy boots and damp coats in this cozy, authentic retreat.

The delightful living area, adorned with exposed timbers, boasts a comfortable sofa and armchairs, perfect for unwinding after a long day on the trails. Enjoy the atmosphere of the open fireplace and stay connected with TV and Wi-Fi provided. Whip up meals in the fully fitted kitchen, complete with an oven and microwave, or gather around the dining table for hearty meals with loved ones. Three well-appointed first-floor bedrooms—one king and two twin—offer restful accommodations for up to six guests, complemented by a separate family bathroom.

Just a short stroll from Grasmere Village, once home to the celebrated William and Dorothy Wordsworth, you'll discover delightful shops, cafés, and pubs, including a highly rated restaurant just ten minutes away. Multiple walking routes await right outside your door, from the scenic path along the west shore of Grasmere Lake to the tranquil trails across the valley at Greenburn. With no motorboats allowed, the lake is perfect for swimming, rowing, and paddleboarding. For the more adventurous, iconic peaks such as Scafell Pike, Skiddaw, and Helvellyn are within reach, offering some of the best high-altitude walks in England.

Whether you seek a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the stunning countryside with your furry friend, this charming cottage invites you to create lasting memories in this enchanting corner of the Lake District.
