Mr King
This cottage is in an ideal location for access to the lake and local walks. It was cosy and had a good supply of hot water. The only downside was there were not enough forks or wine glasses for 4 people.

Mrs Armstrong
Lovely place, ideally placed in a quiet spot just outside Grasmere, very close to miles of walking. The views from the garden are stunning but sadly can’t be seen from the house. However, would recommend.

Good location overlooking Grasmere, 5 minutes walk to the lake, 3 minutes drive to the village. Comfy beds, but kitchen could be a bit better equipped.
