Country cottages in Grasmere, Cumbria - for self-catering near the Lakes

A well-known location in the Lake District, Grasmere can trace its popularity back to the poet William Wordsworth who lived here at the turn of the 19th Century. Tourist-filled in the summer, Grasmere has developed to provide much more than gingerbread and good views - there are plenty of amenities to meet all needs and still remains a beautiful location for walking, cycling or just relaxing.

There are walks aplenty around the Lake in Grasmere, or you can hire a rowing boat  to visit the island. Climbers may visit the craggy peaks of Scafell, Helvellyn, Skiddaw or  the Langdale Pikes for a challenging uphill climb.

Visit the honeypot towns of Ambleside, Keswick, Hawkshead, Coniston, Bowness and Windermere for a ramble, tea shops and a very pleasant way to spend a day.
