About this property

Cosy cottage in quiet courtyard in Grasmere village with private parking

Low Croft is a stones throw from the centre of grasmere village. It has the advantage of one parking space where you can leave your car whilst you explore the village and surrounding area. It is possible to park up on arrival and not use the car again until you leave. There is a bus stop by the village green. All walks start from the village centre - Helm crag, Silver Howe, Loughrigg, Easedale Tarn, Alcock Tarn and of course Helvellyn. There are too many walks to list. Low Croft is also close to the
shops, restaurants, pubs and bus stops. The lake is close by where you can hire
rowing boats. You can also explore the area by bicycle which you can leave in the utility room. Changeover day - Saturday. Weekly lets saturday to saturday from March to November

Summer break

We had a lovely time in grasmere. The property was bang in the centre of the village, it was spotlessly clean and had plenty of space for the family. We parked the car up on day one and utilised the £2 bus to all the tourists spots most of our stay. Great holiday and wonderful property

Relaxing weekend

The property was clean and had all facilities we required for a weekend walking in Lakes. Right in the middle of Grasmere, within easy walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. Lovely to meet the owner on Sunday and the beautiful vase of roses was a very nice gesture. Would certainly stay there again.

Quiet location in heart of village

An ideal location from which to explore both the immediate vicinity and the wider area. Surprisingly quiet bearing in mind it’s location in the centre of the village.

Great week at Grasmere and Low Croft cottage

We really enjoyed our week at Low Croft. The cottage is in a quiet location in the centre of the village with all the usual amenities on the doorstep. We loved being able to do so many walks directly from Grasmere and only used the car once during the week. The cottage is very clean, cosy and very well equipped and a great place to return to after a day on the fells. We would love to holiday here again.

A quiet, clean, very central cottage in Grasmere

Ann's property is wonderfully situated, right in the middle of the village, but very quiet and calm. It's immaculately clean, and well equipped. The perfect place from which to go walking - you can get to Elterwater, the Hows, even Scafell if you're ambitious! And there are bus routes from a bus stop about 2 minutes away.

Lovely, well equipped, comfortable, central to village.

We only stayed a few days as we had to leave early due to heath problems, but we found it to be very pleasant. We would recommend it, especially to family. The stairs are difficult for anyone with knee or hip problems.

Lovely accommodations and Exceptional Host!

Low Croft is in the center of Grasmere while being accessible to many beautiful walking trails. The unit is modern, quiet and immaculate with a nice open layout for the common areas. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are very comfortable. There are quite a few stairs so some people may have issue with this. There is a large basement that can accommodate any sports equipment imaginable. Having a washer/dryer unit is great. Our host, Ann, is lovely. We are from the United States and transferring funds internationally is a little more complicated, but Ann is well aware of the process and made everything easy for us. She is helpful and prompt with any questions or requests.We had a wonderful stay and hope to return in the future.

Great cottage in a central location

Just got back from a 4 night break to this lovely cosy cottage. Everything you can possibly need for self catering. Has a very large storage/laundry room on the ground floor very handy for storing and drying our golf clubs. Up a few stairs to the living accomodation, we were a party of 4 adults and we had plenty of room with the open plan living/ dining/ kitchen area. Up a few more stairs to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom, bedrooms a decent size, plenty of storage for clothes. May not be suitable for people with problems climbing stairs as over 20 to climb from ground floor to the bedrooms. Great location central in Grasmere village, parking space was a plus as not much free long stay parking in the village. Cottage is located at the bottom of the courtyard and is very peaceful and quiet. We all had and great time. Thankyou for everything Ann.

Week in the Lake District

Well maintained cottage away from the streets and good parking. The Lake District has so much to offer and we had fun and learning at the same time. Enjoyed the Goat Mountain 8 Lakes Spectacular and the visit to Richard Wordssmith’s cottage and museum.

Location is great

Stayed 7 nights and really enjoyed Grasmere. This place is centrally located. For those of you not familiar with small town UK (like me), the name of the cottage is on the building so the very general location of the cottage given by VRBO is nothing to worry about. The only thing missing from this place was shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We had to run out to the store for these things and needed to get toilet paper mid week. Otherwise a lovely stay.
