Some of the Lake District’s fantastic fells are a mere short drive away, as well as the small ’Alpine’ like village of Grasmere, where William Wordsworth is laid to rest at St. Oswald’s Church, and if you’re a fan of Gingerbread, a visit to Grasmere Gingerbread shop is a must!

Lovely property, very well equipped and immaculately presented. Great location, minutes walk into Bowness and on street parking wasn’t a problem (we had two cars). The pool table was a hit and enjoyed sitting on the decking. Would highly recommend.
