About this property
Grasmere 1 mile. This ground floor apartment is one of nine properties set in a former gentlemen's residence, close to Grasmere in Cumbria. Nestled on the banks of Rydal Fell, with beautiful shared grounds overlooking Grasmere Lake, this lovely apartment is the perfect place to enjoy the mesmerising landscapes of the Lake District and has been featured on the Female First website. It is ideal for families and friends wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for peace and tranquillity. Lovingly presented to provide superb accommodation, this delightful apartment has three bedrooms, one of which is a king-size double, together with a family bathroom. There is also a spacious kitchen with a dining area, and a sitting room with an electric fire and a large sash window affording views across to Grasmere Lake. Outside, there is lots of space to enjoy this stunning location and at the front of the apartment is a sunny terrace with furniture, an ideal spot to listen to the birds sing and possibly catch a glimpse of the resident wildlife, including red squirrels, badgers and deer. Grasmere village is just a 10-minute walk away where there are a host of restaurants, galleries and shops, including the Grasmere Gingerbread shop. During certain times of the year, the village is also swathed in beautiful bluebells. For those wishing to escape out onto the fells, this charming apartment is ideally placed, with footpaths and bridleways just a stones throw from the door, including the Coffin Trail around Rydal Water. Being surrounded by such inspiring scenery, it is hard to imagine why you would need to travel anywhere else, but if you do, Ambleside and Keswick are perfect destinations just a few miles away. There is a saying that you may leave the Lake District, but the Lake District will never leave you, and this must be true of this comfy apartment in this magnificent location!
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere. The village is probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found", plus 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.

Issues with the property do not get resolved from year to year. Sash cords broken in the twin rooms, making it next to impossible to open the windows. A shower screen seal that was broken in 2023 is still not repaired, resulting in the bathroom floor getting soaked each time you shower. Some parts of the property have not been properly cleaned for a long time. Definitely not a place to stay if you don't like spiders or cobwebs. It is a shame that for a high weekly rental fee the owners do not seem to want to invest in even the most basic of running repairs.

The Wedding was at the Daffodil Hotel so the location of White Moss was just perfect. We then spent a week holidaying as a family. For the wife and I we were just able to chill and not venture out too much and for the 20 somethings the local walks were ideal. We would definitely consider returning in the future. This accommodation rates 10/10. The Wright / Whelan Household
