Week in the Lakes

Staying at this beautiful cottage just a short wander away from the centre of Grasmere- we had such a fantastic holiday packed full of hikes from the doorstep, an Ambleside Parkrun, the theatre and lovely cakes and pub dinners. Would recommend!

Gorgeous little cottage in Grasmere

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, the very picture of the quaint little British cottage! well furnished and equipped + with a stunning view from the master bedroom that makes for memorable mornings. Exceptionnally well situated : while it lays outside of the center per se, Grasmere was easily accessible by foot. We had a very lovely stay and would come back with no hesitation.

Lovely cottage on outskirts of Grasmere

Great location, can go for walks from the cottage but easy road access for other areas of the Lake District. Cottage has no garden but is a very comfortable place to stay, cosy, well-equipped and characterful. It’s part of a development of converted farm buildings but peaceful and with good parking. Nice view from upstairs bedroom over the hills above Grasmere. 15 minute pleasant footpath walk into Grasmere.

Home from home at Hollens Farm Cottage

The property was in an ideal location on the edge of Grasmere with just a ten minute walk on footpaths into the village. The house had all the facilities we needed and was clean and well maintained. The house was part of an original 18th century farm complex and retained a number of original features. The modernisation of the house was sympathetic to the heritage of the building. A great base for a peaceful and relaxed stay, and perfect for accessing the wide range of walks, and places of interest, which are available in and around the Central Fells.

Nice stay, but lacking a few details

The property was generally good. Nice location for walking and visits to the town centre. The cottage was comfortable, if a bit smaller than anticipated. However, it is lacking a few essentials:- The shower control is broken (missing the handle), so is difficult to turn on/off There was no tea-towel The was no wooden spoon There was no recycling bin, other than for glass

Sehr gemütlich und gut gelegen

Die Unterkunft war super gemütlich, die Küche war immer warm, aufgrund des Aga Ofens, was wunderbar war, wegen des Regenwetters. Im Wohnzimmer konnten wir den Kamin benutzen. Es war alles da, was man brauchte. Bis Grasmere war es nur ein Spaziergang. Das Einzige was für uns nicht perfekt war, waren die Türen ( Schlafzimmer), die aufgrund des Metallhebels nur sehr geräuschvoll zu schließen u. öffnen waren. Wenn jmd nachts zur Toilette musste, wurde ein Leichtschläfer wach. Auch die WC Spülung war sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Hat man zu wenig an der Spülung gezogen, spülte es nicht und wenn man zu kräftig gezogen hat, wurde man vom Wasserkasten an der Wand nass gespritzt. Trotzdem ist die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!

Lovely cottage,very clean and comfortable,everything you require for a lovely quiet getaway. So many walks on your doorstep you don't even need to take the car out. The owners were very informative and included an information book for anyone that has not experienced the lake district. This is our 4th hiking trip in the grasmere area and Hollens Farm Cottage is definitely one of the best we have stayed in. Highly recommended and we will definitely be staying again . Thankyou.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Clare Ridden

Host profile image
We started walking in the Lake District 7 years ago and fell in love with the area so much we decided to look for a property there. As soon as we viewed Hollens Farm Cottage we knew immediately that this was going to be the most perfect second home for us and still is.

Grasmere is a perfect setting for going off bike riding, running, walking or just chilling out and enjoy the views.

What makes this property unique

The old character charm of our cottage is what we fell in love with, the Lakeland flagged floor in the kitchen along with the Rayburn oven creating a lovely cosy atmosphere where you can enjoy your meals. Rustic beams in the kitchen, master bedroom and living room, along with a log burner to relax in front of after a days walking on the fells. Sitting on the window seat in the master bedroom the views towards Sour Milk Ghyll are truly wonderful.
