The cottage
Grasmere within 1 mile.
A perfect romantic retreat, this ground floor apartment within a mile of Grasmere is one of nine properties set in a former gentleman's residence, above the village and nestling on the slopes of Rydal Fell, with extensive shared grounds overlooking Grasmere Lake, an ideal place to enjoy the stunning scenery and amazing sunsets.
Thoughtfully appointed throughout to provide spacious contemporary accommodation, this self-catering apartment is perfect for anyone wishing to enjoy time together in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
With an abundance of wildlife to be spotted, including birds, badgers, red squirrels and deer, this really is an idyllic haven from which to enjoy this beautiful part of the Lake District.
With stunning walks from the door including the well-known Coffin Trail around Grasmere and Rydal Water, you are ideally placed for the more ambitious Fairfield Horseshoe, while Grasmere village is just a short walk and has a wealth of shops, cafés, galleries and pubs, as well as the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop.
A walk around Grasmere Lake is a must, with the beautiful scenery inspiring poets and artists for hundreds of years.
With such an amazing landscape to enjoy there is very little reason to get in the car, but if you do, just a short drive away is the bustling town of Ambleside, set on the shores of Lake Windermere.
From Ambleside you can travel on to the pretty Lakeland villages of Hawkshead, Elterwater and Chapel Stile.
This apartment makes a perfect escape at any time of the year.
