“The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable.”

The directions to the property were misleading. It states that the court was just past the Post Office. In fact it was adjacent to a Post Box. It took us 20 minutes to find the cottage. I was informed by a resident that there isn't a Post office in Grasmere. We would probably not have booked this cottage had we known that it was 22 steps to get to the top floor. Perhaps this should be noted in future advertising. Our mobility is not suitable for so many steps. It would also have helped to ...

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you found the cottage to be clean and comfy. We will take a look at the directions to ensure that it is correct. We will also look at the listing. Thank you. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Ian November 2023

“Very nice cottage right in the centre of Grasmere, clean and comfortable, found the drying room at the bottom of the stairs extremely useful, and having a private parking space a few yards from the door was perfect.”

Hope to return.

- Ian, November 2023

Thank you Ian for your favourable comments. I am pleased you enjoyed your week at Low Croft and look forward to having you to stay with us again. The storage and drying room with washer/dryer is very useful especially if the weather is inclement. Low Croft with a private parking space is in a quiet courtyard overlooking the village green. All walks begin form the doorstep. The bus stop to Ambleside and Keswick is by the green. Very useful especially with the £2 fare. You can park at the beginning of your stay and not use you car again. Property Owner

“Very enjoyable stay.”

The only downside was the car parking space being quite small and I can imagine the stairs being a frustration for elderly people (or knackered walkers!). Other than that, it was great,

Christine September 2022

“Cosy, warm, well equipped, peaceful even though it’s in the middle of Grasmere.”

. Couldn’t find it straight away as it’s tucked away.. maybe advise customers that the entrance is by the postbox..?? The bus service is brilliant.. every 20 mins..

- Christine, September 2022

David September 2022

“Very comfortable and convenient for Grasmere.”

2 minutes to bus stops. Many easy access routes to fells. Sleeps 4 comfortably although we were only 2. Parking available but a tad tricky. Highly recommended.

- David, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay at Low Croft. All you need is on the doorstep - a frequent bus to Ambleside or Keswick, a variety of shops, many walks to suit any ability and as you found the weather was perfect every day except Thursday. Many thanks. Property Owner

“This is the worst apartment I've ever stayed in.”

Lakelovers have been utterly rubbish in their customer service and were not interested in rectifying any of the issues: Mattresses are extremely old and we couldn't sleep as a result of their poor quality. I asked for an extra duvet to put on top of the mattress but this was deemed not possible. The bathroom is freezing cold and shower is but a mere trickle. The sofa where we tried to sleep is like something you pick up for £10 from the charity shop. Having paid 800 pounds for 4 nights I really was expecting to enter into qj apartment of comfort. I also contacted the owner directly to complain and despite having read the message I got no reply. Really very disappointed

- Anna, December 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback after your recent stay at Low Croft Cottage. We are sorry you found the property unsatisfactory. The property is advertised as 3* self catering accommodation and recently gained its award by Visit England which was carried out at the end of November. The property is not listed as luxury and the grading, description and photo's show the standard well. Pricing is generally high during the Christmas/ New Year period as it is one of the busiest times of the year. Lakelovers manage the property on behalf of the owner the cleaner strives high in standards of cleanliness, they were recently awarded 100% by Visit England so we apologise that you found these standards were not met. Regarding the mattresses these have since been replaced to prevent any future guest upset. The owner has advised that you have been in contact with her directly. We also had our quality and compliance team recently attend and they advised that the sofa is of comfort. Property Owner

“Nice cottage, as described.”

Quiet but smack in centre. Additional storage was great for storing all our clobber and keeping boots out the house too. Washer/Drier came in handy too. Grasmere a good base and lots of fells to do without needed the car all week + other activities like hiring row boats and lake walks etc. We were a family with a 5 year old so did Loughrigg fell, Silver How, Arthurs Seat, Easedale tarn. Also did a trip to Brockhole to use the treetop nets.

The property

A stone's throw from the centre of Grasmere, this beautifully renovated Lakeland cottage is situated in a quiet mews courtyard setting and is far from just a convenient bolt hole.

With characterful exposed beams and roof angles which have been retained and only add to the charm of the place - somewhere to relax, unwind, and embrace the pace and beauty of this world-renowned area.

Take advantage of your private parking - you can explore wonderful walks, spell-binding arts history, cosy Lakeland pubs and friendly village life without even using your car.

== Accommodation in detail Private parking in the allocated space outside in the courtyard.

Enter to spacious utility area - ideal for those with valuable walking equipment or bicycles.

Entrance lobby leads upstairs to the first floor living area: this raised open plan living area offers a comfortable sitting area, dining area and well-equipped kitchen.

Second floor: two pleasant cottage bedrooms (one double bedroom and one twin bedroom).

A modern, sky-lit bathroom with shower over bath. Location At the very heart of the Lake District National Park, Grasmere is an adorable Lakeland village with ample facilities for self-catering breaks - including some excellent pubs and restaurants.

It's full of Lake District charm and character and also steeped with artistic history; William Wordsworth lived here in Dove Cottage (open to the public) during one of his most productive periods as a poet.

Local painters have also long been inspired, and several watercolour galleries exhibit in the village including the renowned Heaton Cooper Studio. This fascinating village is a great place to base your self-catering holiday.

On lazier days, explore the quaint village centre or take a peaceful riverside walk.

Nearby Rydal Water is a particular joy.

If you're looking to hit the fells and explore secluded tarns, you're in the right place.

A manageable hike leads up to Easedale Tarn, amidst fells above the village.

Serious walkers might attempt Fairfield, Silver How, Helm Crag and Loughrigg; all within easy reach.

A starting point for Helvellyn is only a short drive up the road at Thirlmere.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
