  • "Location was great, right in the middle of Grasmere."

    Bus stop to Ambleside/Windermere, parking space and Co-op were just around the corner. Lots of 2-3hour walks from the doorstep. Host and staff at the Bakery downstairs were very accommodating for any questions. Great coffee and breakfasts, and pizzas on Friday and Saturday. Flat had everything you need, comfy beds, comfy sofas, big TV. Didn't need to strip the beds. 10/10, would recommend.

  • "Well placed in centre of Grasmere."

    Lovely cottage overall but we did think the cleaning was not up to standard, particularly given other reviews. The apartment smelt very sweaty, cushion covers we think to blame. Kitchen cupboard lips very crumby and spilt tomato sauce in groove. Oven spotless !! We were slightly amused by very high beds and toilet as we are short people

  • "Excellent accommodation, the best we have found in Grasmere."

    Very up-to-date and comfortable, right in the centre of the village. The parking space was small and only suitable for a small or medium size car, but we expected that from previous reviews. Other than that, as good as it could be.

    It was very easy to find, as was the parking space, due to the excellent instructions given. The property is equipped with everything that you might need if you wanted to fully self cater but there are also many amazing eateries in the village, not least the cafe below the property, We would definitely recommend this accommodation and a.lthough there were only two of us, it is certainly spacious enough for 4

  • "This was a great apartment."

    Spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds and sofas, top location. Kitchen facilities fantastic, not missing anything. The car parking space was good although a bit of a walk with heavy luggage so needed to temporarily park roadside to unpack before parking car. Recommended property

  • "The flat is lovely and very comfortable."

    It is well situated in the heart of Grasmere. However, we had issues with parking. The information said that parking was "just round the corner". In fact, it was five minutes walk away and too far to carry luggage. To unload the car, we stopped in a courtyard behind the flat. We were told by the owner that we were not allowed to park there and that we should stop on the road on a yellow line. We unloaded the car and then went to find the parking place. The instructions said we would find two garages and to park at the second one. It was getting dark and we could not find the garages so we had to park in a public parking area for the night. We found the garages the next morning and parked at the second one. However, the space was not generous and we managed to just fit in our Honda Civic. A bigger car would have been a problem. The flat was very comfortable and very pleasant but there were no instructions for the heating, dish washer etc. There was a large dish washer but no washing machine. The lack of information was annoying. We enjoyed our holiday but it could have been better.

  • "Great apartment in a great location."

    Clearly newly refurbished and modernised. Very comfortable but best of all very central for Grasmere and the Lakes in general. New cafe downstairs does great food and drinks and is clearly popular and opening times meant we weren't disturbed in the least. Will definitely go back.

  • "Overall we had an excellent holiday in Baker's Loft however, we have two comments to make."

    The most important is that the information given by Sykes Cottages about car parking is inaccurate and misleading. There is no on-street parking and no parking permit is provided. This should be deleted from your listing. Secondly, although generally the equipment was excellent we were concerned that there were no table mats (only coasters) to protect the dining table. Also there were no serving spoons (although there were many soup and dessert spoons!)

    Thank you for your feedback. There is a designated parking space for the property, we apologise if the instructions were not clear - we have revisited them and made them more accurate. We have made a note of the lack of table mats and serving spoons and will make sure this is rectified. We are glad that you had an excellent holiday and hope that you will visit us again soon.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
