Cosy cottage in village centre

This property is very clean and well equipped, the Whirlpool bath was a welcome addition after a day walking, especially in the rain! It is located in the centre of Grasmere, which is a very popular and busy location. We visited in October so it wasn't too much of a problem for us, but people walking past the window at busy times might not be to everyone's liking. Grasmere is well served by buses, and there are many walks to take from the village, so the car can be left unused for your stay, a definite plus point in the Lakes! In conclusion. if you want quaint comfort, in a central and accessible location, this is for you, but don't expect tranquillity and panoramic views.

A fabulous cottage for two!

We visit the Lakes once a year, and we were so pleased we chose Martin's cottage this year which was perfect for the two of us. We had good comms with Martin before arrival, and was welcomed to the property by him upon arrival which was a nice touch. The cottage itself was comfortable, with everything we needed, and the location, on a side street in the middle of Grasmere, was perfect. Having off street parking was a big plus. We'd stay again, without a doubt, the next time we're in that area.

So convenient

The location is central Grasmere so everything is close to hand. It is a traditional house so expect it to be darkish inside, not a problem as we were out on the fells every day. The owner is most helpful and very handy. The instructions are very modest but our experience of 50+ self-catering holidays meant that was no problem. The car parking is very useful and especially with EV charging included!! Well done Martin.

Lovely cottage, fantastic location in middle of Grasmere within easy walking distance of shops, cafes, pubs and bars. Parking included which was great. Lots of walking from front door but central location for exploring further afield within a short drive

Walkers paradise

A really special and much needed bolt hole in the centre of Grasmere with all modern amenities and a cool quirky feel throughout. Highly recommended. Two minutes from the co-op and 3 mins from the nearest decent beer stop. High level and low level walks from the front door. No need to drive once parked up.

Lovely cottage, perfect for fell walking.

The cottage was lovely, with everything we needed. We were able to walk into the fells every day, and didn't have to use our car at all during the week. Martin was very friendly and informative. We would definitely recommend the cottage.

The property is an old world cottage that is clean and comfortable. It is in the centre of Grasmere and perfect for the shops and all the walks. After our walks it was lovely to come 'home' to relax and recover ready for the next day.

Perfect location

Lovely little cottage, right in the heart of the village. Very cosy, had everything we needed, including parking for our Land Rover Discovery. Lovely little outside space, enough room for two and a lovely sunny spot to enjoy a drink or two in the afternoon. The jacuzzi bath was a lovely way to relax after our many walks.

A week at Grassmere

Overall the property had all that was needed. The location was perfect and accessable with car parking space. The manager was extremely helpful and answered questions and provided quick response. Very disappointed that access to the swimming pool at The Wordsworth Hotel was not available. We believe due to VOVID-19. More information is needed for the accommodation, for example dust bin collection, kitchen appliance handbooks. Overall very good accommodation, we had a very good holiday and would recommend 'Lewis Bistro' for evening meal and 'Hidi's' cafe for breakfast.

Positive: Great location, cosy and warm cottage. Very comfortable bed and good quality bedding. Negative: Poor standard of cleaning. Oven absolutely filthy. Fridge only superficially clean. Surfaces (i.e. microwave door, windows, mirrors) looked like they had been wiped with a dirty cloth leaving a "mist". Vacuum cleaner nneded emptying. Insufficient Pyrex type dishes.

I went to the village school in Grasmere as have all my children we have been letting cottages in Grasmere for 20 years many of our guests are now friends returning year after year. We live in the village near the cottage and have a small outdoor shop in the village so are always on hand to offer any help or information you may need about the area. The cottage is cleaned and maintained by myself and my wife Diane.
