Cottage was warm, snug, extremely welcoming and bed was super comfortable and cosy. It was everything that my partner and I needed after exploring the rural areas. The Farmers Arm Pub which is a small walk along the footpath from the cottage, is an absolute must too, we went for the Wednesday community lunch which was absolutely gorgeous, they have an art studio with honesty shop. Grasmere is definitely going to be a yearly break for us now x

We found the Lodge lacked comfortable chairs, and having a slightly larger bathroom.
