Perfect location in the centre of a beautiful village in the Lake District. Great selection of cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and galleries. Busy with tourists during the day but nice and quiet after 6pm. ( we stayed before the school holidays ) Wonderful walks straight from the door. Regular bus service every 20 mins to Keswick, Ambleside, Windermere. The cottage had everything we needed. The owners live very close-by and very helpful. We will stay again in the future.

Returning guests to this cosy cottage in the centre of Grasmere. Ideal base for exploring the Lakes by foot, car or bus. The off street car parking space is a bonus. The cottage has all the facilities required for a self catered stay and Grasmere offers lots of dining options as well as a small supermarket.

A fabulous cottage for two!

We visit the Lakes once a year, and we were so pleased we chose Martin's cottage this year which was perfect for the two of us. We had good comms with Martin before arrival, and was welcomed to the property by him upon arrival which was a nice touch. The cottage itself was comfortable, with everything we needed, and the location, on a side street in the middle of Grasmere, was perfect. Having off street parking was a big plus. We'd stay again, without a doubt, the next time we're in that area.

Everything you need

Had a great time. Lovely village and area. Great for Walking. Cottage is clean and has everything you need. Livingroom is pretty dark and the street outside the bedroom does get noisy in the morning. Carpark ist excellent and everything you might need is in walking distance. Very friendly and helpful owner! Thank you very much!

So convenient

The location is central Grasmere so everything is close to hand. It is a traditional house so expect it to be darkish inside, not a problem as we were out on the fells every day. The owner is most helpful and very handy. The instructions are very modest but our experience of 50+ self-catering holidays meant that was no problem. The car parking is very useful and especially with EV charging included!! Well done Martin.

Cosy cottage in village centre

This property is very clean and well equipped, the Whirlpool bath was a welcome addition after a day walking, especially in the rain! It is located in the centre of Grasmere, which is a very popular and busy location. We visited in October so it wasn't too much of a problem for us, but people walking past the window at busy times might not be to everyone's liking. Grasmere is well served by buses, and there are many walks to take from the village, so the car can be left unused for your stay, a definite plus point in the Lakes! In conclusion. if you want quaint comfort, in a central and accessible location, this is for you, but don't expect tranquillity and panoramic views.

Walkers paradise

A really special and much needed bolt hole in the centre of Grasmere with all modern amenities and a cool quirky feel throughout. Highly recommended. Two minutes from the co-op and 3 mins from the nearest decent beer stop. High level and low level walks from the front door. No need to drive once parked up.

Prima in orde!

Fijne cottage op een perfecte locatie, midden in het Lake District. Heel vriendelijke eigenaar! Tips voor de eigenaar: 1) de foto's op internet mogen wat duidelijker 2) de wifi moet iets sterker; werkt nu alleen op de badkamer 3) het bed is erg smal Voor de rest is alles heel goed in orde!

Lovely cottage, perfect for fell walking.

The cottage was lovely, with everything we needed. We were able to walk into the fells every day, and didn't have to use our car at all during the week. Martin was very friendly and informative. We would definitely recommend the cottage.

This property was ideal for me. It was just the right size - big enough to be comfortable and with everything I needed. Location is great - right in the heart of Grasmere, yet with easy private parking.

Perfect Holiday Setting

The property is an old world cottage that is clean and comfortable. It is in the centre of Grasmere and perfect for the shops and all the walks. After our walks it was lovely to come 'home' to relax and recover ready for the next day.

About the host

Hosted by Martin Wood

Host profile image
I went to the village school in Grasmere as have all my children we have been letting cottages in Grasmere for 20 years many of our guests are now friends returning year after year. We live in the village near the cottage and have a small outdoor shop in the village so are always on hand to offer any help or information you may need about the area. The cottage is cleaned and maintained by myself and my wife Diane.

Why they chose this property

Grasmere is beautiful unspoilt village in the heart of the Lake district. Bakery cottage has all the benefits of a modern cottage but with all the charm
of a tradition cottage with the benefit of car parking a rarity in village centre.The cottage is cleaned and maintained by the owners who have a shop near to the cottage if you should have any questions about the area or walks.
