"Absolutely beautiful property. The pictures and the outside don’t do the property justice. The interior is tastefully decorated and very spacious. The grounds are well kept. The views of the lake are amazing and you get duel aspect from the massive living room. The best part is the lakes and boats are steps away from the apartment. Cannot thank you enough, we were all bowled over by this fantastic apartment. X"

"Great location with amazing views over Ambleside and the hills. The balcony is a bonus in good weather. The walk into Ambleside is steep but short so you have easy access to all the town has to offer and walks into the fells without needing to drive. Use of the (small) pool and jacuzzi at Lakelands was a bonus and quiet the week we were there. House is well presented and furnished with plenty of storage, crockery/cutlery etc. The beginning of our week was very cold and even with the heating on...

Refurbished tradition Lakeland Stone Cottage In The Centre Of Grasmere
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (40)
"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."
