Located in the heart of Grasmere, this gem offers lots to see and do. From the doorstep, you can walk straight into the village; why not visit Dove Cottage, the former home of William Wordsworth, before sampling the delights of the world-famous Grasmere Gingerbread? Rain or shine, you can enjoy a stroll around the picturesque lake or head to nearby White Moss Woods, 1.5 miles away, to explore the stunning Rydal Caves. Follow the historic Coffin Trail or head high to take on Helm Crag, 1.5 miles away, also known as the Lion and the Lamb, which offers stunning views over the valley. A short drive away (4.5 miles) is Ambleside, home to an array of pretty gift shops, cosy bars, popular restaurants and interesting galleries, alongside a cinema for those rainy afternoons.

This delightful home from home has natural tones and cosy soft furnishings, with the living room being the heart of the house, perfect for enjoying your evening by the wood burner. With the dining table tucked away, the conversation can flow from breakfast until dinner. The kitchen is a traditional room, with plenty of surface and storage space. Also on the ground floor is the first of the double bedrooms, with views across to the garden. Upstairs is the king-size bedroom, which offers a flexible twin option, with far-reaching views along the treeline. Both bedrooms have been finished in calming, neutral tones. The bedrooms share a clean and bright tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower on the ground floor.

Outside, there is a private and enclosed courtyard with a patio area for outdoor dining as well as a well-manicured garden area to enjoy with your four-legged friend.

A warm and welcoming cottage in a fantastic location. The views of the fells are brilliant. Just a short walk into the town of Grasmere. Would recommend The Swan pub too!

Lovely cottage in a great location for Grasmere and surrounding fells. Well set up (washing machine a necessity with all the wet weather) and cosy.

This was the perfect cottage and location for a home from home getaway. The garden was fully enclosed which gave us peace of mind having our dog with us. Cottage was clean, warm and cosy with comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked with necessary equipment and a dishwasher. The village was a short walk away and the Swan Pub was at the top of theRead more lane serving great food and allowed dogs as well. We couldnt have booked a more suitable location and will definitely be back.. Hide

Overall an excellent cottage, although the kitchen is small with limited storage, except for excellent fridge/freezer. Very dog friendly garden - a real sun trap with excellent views. Accomodation would be tight for four adults. Unfortunately, the vacuum cleaner didn't work so were unable to tidy as we would normally have done.

Lovely small cottage for a couple and garden area is enclosed - great for our two dogs. Extremely quiet at night for sleeping if you are a light sleeper due to it's location just outside the village (10 min walk). Kitchen was small but we managed okay, take bin liners as there weren't any when we stayed. Also no handwash and a tiny amount of washinRead moreg up liquid (there is a dishwasher, not advertised so that was a bonus!). Welcome pack could be better ;) Perfect location for walks from Grasmere. Hide

Swallows Cottage is excellent and a perfect venue for our working and walking break. The cottage was great and we had a lovely stay. It's a perfect location just away from eth centre of Grasmere but everything is an easy walk away.
