Overview
Property code: OC-GL045

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.

Good cottage. Quirky design (beams in bedroom). Comfortable beds and very well equipped. Has night storage heating which is not easy to get at the right level - and I imagine that fans will be needed in summer as the cottage will pick up the sun all afternoon. Location fantastic and 100 metres from the centre of Grasmere. We had a great short Read morebreak here in December 2023 - and really enjoyed staying in the cottage - and also in Grasmere. Hide

Fantastic property which was perfectly set up for a family, even bigger than the photos suggested and laid out so well that it meant everyone had their own space. Beautifully furnished with lovely local arts and crafts and genuinely the most well equipped holiday rental we've ever stayed in. Absolutely loved our stay and we will definitely be back Read more:) Hide

As you should know, our appreciation of the property and enjoyment of our holiday was badly affected by complete lack of water supply to the property from 10am on Monday 21 Aug, when we notified you, until 4pm on Wed 23 Aug. At 11am on Mon, your text indicated that you were sorry this issue was affecting our holiday, which you repeated in an email Read moreat 7pm. My email at 8am on Tues indicated that we expect to be reimbursed for disruption and time wasted. Plumbers first attended late on Monday afternoon, and told us that they had not been contacted until 4pm. At 2.22pm on Tuesday, you told me that plumbers had reattended and hadn't managed to locate the issue, and that the homeowner had contacted United Utilities. They worked (noisily) from 1am until 3am on Wednesday morning, so we looked forward to having water in the morning. We had none, to our surprise and the surprise of Paul, maintenance man for United Cottages. Paul told me in a later phonecall (2.20pm) that UU had solved the problem but neglected to turn the water supply back on. Paul was very helpful and supportive throughout, in person and by phone, although he was unable to solve the problem. Finally, I should mention that we were offered alternative properties on Monday (very inconvenient in Penrith and Carlisle!) and Wednesday (after the problem had been solved, although we had not been informed). I look forward to hearing from you re proposed reimbursement for the affect on our enjoyment of our holiday. Hide

Perfect property for exploring the Lakes, great central location for all areas of the Lakes. Right on the Main Street in Grasmere and the added bonus of a dedicated parking space (big enough for our Ford Custom Van). Property is amazing with everything you need, two bathrooms, WI-FI and washing machine (along with all the other essentials). Very clRead moreean and comfortable, great large rooms and a good area to store coats and boots just as you get through the door. The only problem was that we should have booked two weeks, not just one. Would definitely book to return again. Hide

Leaving aside the smell from the restaurant downstairs (which to be fair your listing mentions) the property was very well equipped,presented and located. The restaurant smell was not really an issue for us as the weather was cool enough that we didn't need to open any windows, but I would be cautious about re-booking in high summer.

Generally the property met expected standard, enjoyed the stay, furnishings were of a high standard. Unfortunately the heat in the main bedroom caused issues at night, only one window was able to be open, other windows sealed. Bathroom heated towel rail switch broken unable to switch off rail. Unfortunately fatty smells from restaurant below in theRead more evenings were a bit off putting. Overall an enjoyable stay Hide
