The kitchen/diner has been refurbished to a lovely standard with stylish units and counter tops, as well as a pleasant dining table with seating for up to six people. Stairs lead up to a family bathroom, which houses a bath with a shower attachment, elevated by light blue décor to give the suite an almost ocean feel.

To the third floor is a kingsize bedroom with ensuite, with views on each side of the room across to Grasmere, there is also a day bed on this floor with pull out trundle for added flexibility. On a sunny day, make the most of the outside patio area, or better yet, wander into the village of Grasmere with its shops, pubs, and church which dates back to the 13th century, as well as Grasmere Lake, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains which can be seen from the top floor of the property. 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. A wonderful retreat in an excellent location for touring.

Well equipped and ideal for a party of 5. The bed setup is not ideal if you were a party of 6 as the daybed is on the top floor with a double. The parking is tight and you would struggle with a large car. Medium or small cars fit fine. The only issue we had was that when we arrived the heating was set to 15c so the whole place was freezing. It took a few hours to warm it up and we had to light the fire and sit in fleeces and blankets. All other properties we have stayed at have been warm when we arrive which makes a big difference. I would recommend that you set the heating higher to make it cosy for when guests arrive.

Next door was also undergoing renovations which meant drilling and construction work from 08:30 in the morning. Dissatisfied that this could have been done when the property was unoccupied.
