This was my thirteenth trip to Grasmere, and I’ve never stayed in a lovelier and more convenient place. Warm, comfortable, and clean, Abigail’s View was much more than we expected or hoped for. I’m looking forward to many more stays at this beautiful, homey, and warm home away from home.

Perfect hideaway in Grasmere

The flat was wonderful - modern, efficient, well appointed. Private parking was an added bonus in such a busy village. A full-size eat-in kitchen along with two ensuite bedrooms was a great luxury. And on the rainy days, we played the games and put together the provided puzzles. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a positive review of your recent stay Paul. I’m sad to hear that my umbrella has been taken!! It has always been hung on the coat hooks near the stairs. I’ll ask my housekeeper if it has been moved or taken. An umbrella is essential in the lakes all year round!! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Simone

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Grasmere has a magical quality that embraces you and transports you to another time and place. Abigail’s View was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms comfortable, the bathrooms luxurious. We enjoyed looking out on the village green each day to watch the passing parade. Our neighbors and the townspeople in general were charming and helpful. I would definitely choose to stay here again. Thank you.

Fantastic stay in a cosy cottage

My friend and I came to Lake District to run the mountains and relax. I have never been to Grasmere before, and I was very happy with my choice of this location. The cottage is really well located close to pubs, restaurants, cafes and a shop. There is dedicated parking, but you can also get to the bus stop very quickly. The cottage itself is very cosy, comfortable and charming. I would definitely recommend it for a stay!

Perfect location

Right in the heart of super popular Grasmere with private parking and the Herdy shop next door but one and a friendly cafe below you might expect the property to be noisy but not at all. The big windows in the master bedroom and high ceilings let in loads of light and the kitchen/living space was perfect for family games and meals. Love the lakes and the property was perfect for our needs. As was the weather so that's a bonus!

Idyllic lakeland getaway

Nestled in the heart of quiet Grasmere, this property has everything one would need for a great base to explore the Lake District. Convenient to the shops, pubs, Wordsworth's grave and Dove Cottage, there is plenty to do in town. Only 20 minutes to Keswick and 10 minutes to Ambleside the number of hikes and areas to explore becomes enough to satisfy even the most ardent hiker. The property is clean, well kept and with en-suite bathrooms a wonderful place to start your day and come home to in the evening.

A fabulous property in an unrivalled location in the centre of the village. Everything you could need for a perfect stay in this part of The Lakes. Just one observation - if you have any mobility issues, there is a steep-ish wooden staircase at the rear to access the property, and there are only over-bath showers in the two en suites (my elderly mum wasn't able to use the shower in her room as she couldn't get into the bath easily. However, this is something I could have checked with the property owner in advance, so it's more of a "heads-up" for future guests than anything). The property is beautiful kept, spotlessly clean and gorgeously decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with pretty much all you need (although there isn't a huge amount of space in the cupboards to keep lots of food, but that's a great excuse to eat out while you're there!! We would definitely book this accommodation again, no hesitation.

About the host

Hi
My name is Simone and I have recently been fortunate enough to purchase this beautiful property in the delightful village of Grasmere. My husband, daughter and I are regular visitors to the lake District, Grasmere being our favourite location.

Why they chose this property

The apartment has had a recent update utilising prints and fabrics from influential designers such as Laura Ashley and Orla Kiely. I have chosen luxurious fabrics, beds, furniture and bedlinen to ensure you have a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. There are books, jigsaws and games provided for you to enjoy. Please can I ask you look after them all so another family can benefit from them too. You never know what the weather is going to be like in the lake district so if you have had enough of playing cards, or reading books, you can take advantage of the Sky glass TV that I am certain will contain something to please everyone, even the little ones. The apartment has the advantage of a private en suite bathroom with each bedroom so you can share with family or even friends. Enjoy the views from each window, have a tea/coffee or wine whilst sitting on the lounge chairs in the master bedroom and watch the world go by. Once you have taken in all the delights of Grasmere, hop on the Laksider bus that stops a stones throw away, their service is reliable and regular. I hope you come and enjoy this beautiful part of the world and enjoy a relaxing break in my beautifully furnished holiday home.
