    “This was our second visit.”

    Great cottage, great location. Parking arrangement very useful and handy to have spaces opposite for loading and unloading. Very clean and comfortable. Generous Welcome pack and well-appointed kitchen. You can stand in the doorway and smell the gingerbread being baked! Mathilde's cafe and many other excellent places to eat all in easy walking distance. Great steep and more challenging walks easily accessible from the cottage. Useful utility/boot room for washing and drying just across ...

    Great cottage, great location. Parking arrangement very useful and handy to have spaces opposite for loading and unloading. Very clean and comfortable. Generous Welcome pack and well-appointed kitchen. You can stand in the doorway and smell the gingerbread being baked! Mathilde's cafe and many other excellent places to eat all in easy walking distance. Great steep and more challenging walks easily accessible from the cottage. Useful utility/boot room for washing and drying just across the little courtyard. Also good to have a bit of outside space to sit/eat in. We love Poppy's cottage and will definitely book again.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

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 has 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. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
