Property code: OC-SZ500

Located in the heart of Grasmere, there is plenty to see and do from the doorstep. Visit Dove Cottage, the former home of William Wordsworth, before popping into the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop to sample this famous teatime treat. Don your walking boots for a scenic stroll around the lake or head to nearby White Moss Woods, 1.5 miles away, to explore the mystical Rydal Caves. For a low-level walk, 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. Meanwhile, 4.5 miles away, Ambleside is home to an array of pretty gift shops, cosy bars, popular restaurants and interesting galleries, together with three cinemas for those rainy afternoons.

Inside, this property has been tastefully finished in a chic industrial style with natural tones, slate flooring and cosy soft furnishings. The kitchen is light and traditional, with plenty of surface and storage space. Here you will find an electric oven and hob, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Once prepared, dine at the oak and steel table in the stylish lounge/dinner before firing up the wood burner and settling in for a cosy evening of TV or games with the family. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one king-size with a wrought-iron bed and one super-king-size with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beam, both of which have been finished in calming neutral tones. The bedrooms share a clean and bright tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, there is a shared courtyard with a patio area for outdoor dining with your four-legged friend. There is an allocated parking space for one car.

This a lovely central well equipped cottage which would be perfect in the warmer months of the year. However we would not return during the winter months as we found it too cold to be comfortable. The walking we did in the area was lovely with amazing views.

Fabulous location with well stocked kitchen. Extremely comfy beds unlike the 2 settees which offer little support. In need of some TLC dust in areas with cobwebs it wasn't clean on arrival...

A great property which had been thoughtfully decorated and furnished throughout. The living room was cosy and the log burner was a perfect addition on cold, rainy evenings. The kitchen is the most well-stocked of any property weve stayed in before and certainly feels like a home away from home. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious and we all Read morehad a good nights sleep. Parking was no problem, even with our 4x4, just careful manoeuvring needed when reversing past neighbouring cars. Hide

Fantastic location and really well equipped, really comfy master bed (the super king) Once the log burner was on it was lovely and warm. The sofas were a bit hard, we had a 3 year old with us so evenings were spent in the cottage. Bit smaller than it looks on the pictures.

Stayed 3 times. Its right in the heart of Grasmere village and the cottage has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Super comfy beds. Hotels, bars, shops and cafes are all a short walk away with plenty of excellent hiking routes in all directions.

Had a great stay at the Old Gallery, very well equipped, nicely furnished and cosy. The beds are extremely comfortable and with the lovely cotton bed linen, all had a fabulous nights sleep. Expresso coffee machine was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay right in the middle of Grasmere.
