Retreat to a romantic hideaway in the charming village of Grasmere, nestled in the heart of the English countryside and celebrated for its connection to poet William Wordsworth and its famous gingerbread. This lovely holiday cottage is ideally situated for those eager to explore the beauty of Cumbria. Wander around Grasmere village (just 0.5 miles away) and browse unique gift shops, or relax in cozy cafes after hiking the scenic trails nearby – Loughrigg Fell (5 miles) and Easedale Tarn (2.5 miles) offer rewarding vistas. Discover inspiration at Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top farmhouse (10 miles), where creativity flourished. Pack a picnic for Wordsworth’s beloved Rydal Water (4 miles) and explore the poet's connections at Rydal Mount (3.5 miles) and Dora’s Field. Round off the day with a serene sunset cruise on Lake Windermere (5.5 miles) before returning to your snug cottage retreat.

This spacious open-plan cottage instantly welcomes you as you walk through the front door. With plenty of space to kick off your boots and hang up your jackets, the hallway opens up directly into the kitchen, dining room and lounge. Amply equipped with everything you need to make a romantic meal for two, the open plan design creates a truly social place to be together. Evenings can be enjoyed cosied up on the spacious sofa, whilst watching your favourite films on the Smart TV. Enjoy the flicker of the wood-burning stove on those cooler nights. The bedroom, again spacious and beautifully appointed, is the perfect place to rest after a day of exploration, with wall-mounted TV mornings can be enjoyed with breakfast in bed. Next door the en-suite shower room offers a rainfall shower to refresh yourself for the day ahead.

Straight from the front door you can take a dip in the hot-tub whilst enjoying a glass of fizz or two! Travel slightly up the pathway to access to the elevated patio, where evenings can be spent dining al-fresco, taking in the stunning views. Parking is slightly up from the property and has parking for 1 car.

Lovely little cottage in a quiet location. Excellent off street parking as well. Well equipped, clean, tidy and decorated to a very high standard. Hot tub was lovely after a long day on the hills. Close to 2 pubs with many more a bit further away (15mins) in Grasmere village. Will definitely re-book. A wonderful find

Garden Cottage is a cosy stay near to the heart of Grasmere. The shower is top notch, each room spotlessly clean and the WiFi was strong enough to enable high quality streaming and gaming at times. As most holiday homes do, they left us some shortbread, prosecco and milk. It was easy to find the cottage thanks to the directions and clear signage. WRead moree weren't disturbed during our stay by neighbours, other visitors or by the owners. Overall it's a romantic and cosy getaway! Hide

Stunning location, hot hub fabulous. The Swan Inn is an easy walk for dinner - food excellent. Very warm and cosy. Grasmere a short walk. You can hike stars from the cottage. Cottage wasnt the cleanest we stayed in. Recommend staying here but bring your own towels/ sheets.

This cottage is definitely up there with the best places that we have stayed. It is very tastefully decorated and very well equipped. The shower, which is often a disappointment when we go away, was amazing and the hot tub and drinks terrace were out of this world. Although it is quite a steep walk up to the cottage the location is perfect, only 15Read more minute walk from central Grasmere. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the Lake District. Hide

Lovely cottage, It is part of a larger house (Ella House). Property consists of a lounge/kitchen/dining area with separate bedroom and ensuite shower room. All the rooms are beautifully presented and very comfortable. The bed is lovely and this, combined with the complete darkness once you turn out the light gave us wonderful sleeps.
