About this property

Peacefully sat in the tranquil surroundings of the Lake District National Park in Grasmere, Cumbria is this beautifully furnished cottage, Eller Close House. Boasting wonderful accommodation with en-suite bathrooms, stylish interior and much to do close by, this property is perfectly suited to both friends and families seeking a getaway in the idyllic Lakes. Upon entrance be drawn in by the heart-warming sitting room; with snug seating, a Smart TV and complete with woodburning stove it provides a haven to curl up with loved ones and watch a family favourite after a day of adventures. Next, explore the well-equipped kitchen/diner where the designated chef of the group can whip up a hearty meal to be enjoyed around the dining table whilst reflecting on highlights of your trip so far; alternatively, choose from two pleasant outdoor seating areas to enjoy alfresco dining or a late-night tipple. Three charmingly decorated bedrooms await upstairs, each with their own Smart TV, en-suite facilities, and furnished to a high-standard, they offer a flexible and secluded area to get lost in a book, enjoy alone time, or relish a movie night ahead of another busy day. Bask in the stunning countryside views from the comfort of your own freestanding bath or freshen up in a sleek shower room before heading to the local pub on nights when you don’t feel like cooking. From your doorstep, uncover an abundance of tea rooms, boutique stores, pubs, bars, and restaurants that all await in the local town; or for a visit packed with excitement, take a trip to Bowness-on-Windermere where everything from golf and horse riding to water skiing and sailing caters for a group of all ages. The fine 15th-century church of St.Martin’s is also located here, for those who wish to immerse themselves in the rich history of the town, as well as The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction which is dedicated to the life of the much-loved children’s author. Further afield you will find Ambleside, often branded as a walker’s paradise, there are plenty of routes which begin from near the Waterhead Pier which showcase stunning views of the rolling hills and cascading landscapes. Rydal Mount and Gardens, the home of William Wordsworth is steeped in local heritage and literature, and great for quality outdoor time. For a holiday to remember, adventure awaits at Eller Close House.

The charming village of Grasmere is in the Lake District National Park. It is arguably best known as the residence of William Wordsworth, who once referred to it as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found." The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, where the Wilson family has been producing gingerbread for more than 60 years, must be included in every trip to Grasmere. A variety of stores, pubs, a church that dates to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake are in the village as well. Every August, Grasmere Sports is held, allowing spectators to witness athletes compete in several sports, including Cumberland wrestling. There are stores, pubs, restaurants, and the Bridge House, one of the Lake District's most famous structures, in the town of Ambleside, which is only five miles from Lake Winderemere. On Lake Windermere, you may go on cruises, boat rides, and engage in water sports. The cities of Windermere and Keswick are also accessible by car. A great place to start your Lake District vacation is Grasmere.

    Comfortable, great decor, kitchen well stocked with all you need. Boot room with underfloor heating very handy. Beautiful views from garden. All very nice. Thankyou for sharing your home with us. We had a great time , despite the weather, and will come back.

    The views are stunning, but there is only one point of access which is via a steep path with gravel and steps which is a walk away from the parking bays. Taking luggage down this path is challenging in the dark and whilst the path has lighting it was not working during our stay. This really should be stated in the description as it would be unsuitable for some. The TV’s upstairs did not work which we think was due to the WiFi code not being accepted. None of this affected our stay and we would happily return.

  • Susie

    The house was warm and comfortable and very clean. A couple of notable omissions were a coffee machine and a steamer set which would have been nice to have and there was not a lot of cutlery so we had to keep washing it up rather then using the dishwasher. We were told there would be a starter set of logs for the fire but there wasn't. The internet was down during our stay which was annoying especially as it was Christmas and we were looking forward to watching some movies and the tv's require internet. There is no satellite, cabe or terrestial tv as a backup if the internet fails. 3G is available so long as you have plenty of data but we didn't so couldn't use the tv's in the bedroom. The owner, was helpful in sending someone round with some dvd's for us to watch but Sykes Cottages and Lakelovers were useless and never called us back or responded in any way. Overall I would recommend this cottage as a great place to stay but maybe not during bank holidays when everything is closed.
