This enchanting apartment is in a wonderful, central Grasmere location with everything you’ll need for a great holiday right on the doorstep. The apartment is above a shop and restaurant, so is perfect for two couples going on holiday together or even a small family. The fantastic amenities that Grasmere has to offer are all within a few hundred metres of the apartment, with multiple cafes, restaurants, bars and shops to choose from and enjoy. Other places of interest when visiting the Lake District include Allan Bank and Grasmere Lake – both half a mile away.

On entering the apartment, you’ll find plenty of hanging space for coats and an area for shoes and boots to be stored in the hallway. Past a well-stocked bookcase, the hallway leads to the tastefully decorated lounge and diner. The dining area features a wooden table and chairs for four. The lounge area offers plenty of comfy seating for evenings unwinding. The kitchen is located off the lounge/diner, which has a unique glass splashback featuring an image of Loughrigg Tarn as guests enter. It has everything required for an easy self-catering holiday. From the hallway, there is access to the lovely bedroom with feature beams and pretty windows. It has a king-size bed and plenty of space in addition to a tiled en-suite shower room with a double shower. A spacious family bathroom with a corner bath and shower over is located further down the hallway. There is also a second bedroom with full-size twin beds which can be linked together to make a super-king-size bed. The pitched windows make this room bright and airy. There is plenty of storage in this room with bedside tables, drawers and a wardrobe. Guests can also lie back and enjoy the TV in the twin room on a rainy day.

While there is no outdoor space in the apartment, the beautiful Wordsworth Daffodil Garden is only 200 metres away and at its best during the spring months.

A beautiful, spacious and characterful apartment ideally positioned in the centre of Grasmere, with a choice of fell walks from the door which meant that our car wasnt moved from its allotted space outside the door. Spinners is one of the best equipped holiday lets that we have stayed in. We were there during a cold and wet week in February but SpiRead morenners was warm and the lovely throws and blankets made it feel extra cosy in the evenings. The large heated area in the hall was perfect for coats, boots, rucksacks etc with a large coat rail and big trays to put wet boots in. Were often disappointed that other owners dont provide this simple solution to wet walking gear. We will definitely return to Spinners in the near future. Thank you to the owners for making this a home from home, you have thought of everything. Hide

Spinners is a beautiful apartment in a beautiful village. Apartment is extremely well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for two couples to enjoy together and still have complete privacy. My only reservation is that possibly best for couples with no mobility issues. The restaurant Goody Blakes severs excellent food, with very friendly staff. The cafe Read moreby the bridge serves the best bacon sandwiches we have every tasted. The staff in the Mountain Warehouse also very friendly. The bus services through the village mean that you can travel over a wide area and leave the car on the car park. Honister Pass and Kirkstone Pass on the bus is something I will never forget. We did the twice. All in all and excellent 2 week holiday. Hide

A nice apartment which would benefit greatly from central heating. I appreciate we made a late booking but there was a distinct lack of heat when we arrived. So much so we ate out the first night, not our plan after a long drive. We used 4 blanket throws on the bed, and I am an outdoor person! We adjusted the controls on the storage heaters which iRead moremproved things slightly. It is the only property we have been to where there has not been a welcome pack. Thank goodness I remembered tea bags as the only thing in the kitchen cupboards was Salt and Pepper. Very well equipped plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses etc. Very conveniently position with the bonus of off road parking. Beneath the apartment is Goody Blakes Restaurant with an excellent menu, superb chef and lovely ambience. Would I recommend, yes, but possibly not in cold weather. Hide

We really enjoyed our week in 'Spinners'. It is spacious, cosy and very well appointed, in a great location. Little things like having a parking space and (3) smart TVs weren't part of why we chose it, but ended up being very welcome - especially when the February rain was hammering down!
