About this property
This charming semi-detached Lakeland stone cottage is located in the village of Grasmere, a popular destination in the centre of the Lake District.
Tanner Croft Cottage is a two bedroom property with wood burning stove and breathtaking views, offering a cosy base for a two-couple or small family holiday in this beautiful Lake District village.
The cottage has a cosy charm the moment you walk into the open plan living space, with the sitting room centred around a feature fireplace that houses a wood burning stove. Both the sitting and separate dining area offer relaxing views across to the village. The kitchen has all the necessary amenities to keep your party well fed but retains the country living charm prevalent throughout the cottage. The first-floor bedrooms complete the accommodation, with a double and a twin continuing the cosy feel.
The cottage has a small gravelled garden area and from here you can relax on the garden seating and take in the views at the end of your day’s exploits.
Grasmere is steeped in historical charm, with all necessary amenities within walking distance. Perhaps try some famous Grasmere gingerbread as you wander through the village on your way back from lunch at one of the local inns.
Grasmere could not be more central, so everything is accessible from the village. A drive or bus ride will take you to everything the Lake District has to offer. Wind your way south to Windermere, or north to Ullswater to take in a choice of energetic water activities or a gentle cruise around the lake. Alternatively, simply embark on one of the many walking routes available almost from your front door.
Occupying a perfect spot in the countryside, Tanner Croft Cottage offers a small family or two couples a central location for a wonderful break in the heart of the Lake District.
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake

It was warm and clean and the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen really well equipped and the lovely lounge/dining room has lots of space and seating. The log burner was fantastic. Wi-Fi worked well, and the heating was easy to adjust. The listing made no mention of dishwasher or hairdryer , both of which were a nice surprise but it would have been helpful to know what we were getting there. There could have been clearer instructions about rubbish disposal, it was not clear which dustbin to use. The radiator valve in the main bedroom did not work so the people who slept in that room were too warm.

! Spend the first few days of our holiday hoovering up cobwebs from every corner. Not good!. By day three we had decided we had seen enough and left the cottage and relocated to an hotel. We contacted Sykes by telephone to let them know that we were leaving. I'm sure had we contacted Sykes on arrival they would have rectified the issues but the problem of cleanliness should not have been there. Will not recommend.
