Beck Steps 1 is a delightful character cottage situated in the heart of Grasmere village in the picturesque Lake District. Combining picture perfect exteriors with a boutique hotel style interior, Beck Steps 1 cottage combines modern luxury with romantic style to create the perfect Lakes hideaway for a couple. Through the traditional cottage style front door, you enter the living room with its Lakeland stone flagged floor, wood burning stove and cosy yet contemporary furnishings. The Shaker style kitchen is clean and bright and luxuriously fitted out and there's a door out to the patio. Upstairs is pure luxury, from the king size bed and lovely Shaker style bedroom suite to the bathroom with its claw-footed freestanding tub and oversized telephone shower. There's also a hand basin, WC and heated towel rail to complete the opulent yet relaxed feel.
Outside there's a patio with garden furniture, ideal for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine after a busy day's sightseeing. Private parking for one car is also provided at the rear of the property, while the front door opens almost directly on to the traditional village green. Grasmere is one of the most vibrant and sought after villages in the Lake District, famous for its gingerbread and its association with the Lakeland poets. William Wordsworth lived on the outskirts of the village at Dove Cottage and was inspired to write his famous poem 'Daffodils' here. Modern Grasmere has a wide range of facilities including fabulous restaurants and pubs, and there are walking opportunities literally on the doorstep. The Lake District is Britain's most popular national park and it's not difficult to see why. Spellbinding scenery, top quality fine dining and some of the finest walking countryside in the world make the Lakes a uniquely beautiful place to spend a romantic weekend or a longer stay. Take a cruise across Lake Windermere on one of the popular steamers, or visit one of the spectacular castles in the region. Follow in the footsteps of the many writers who have made the Lakes their home with a trip to Beatrix Potter's house at Hill Top, or ride one of the many mountain bike trails. And don't miss a visit to Kendal for some of the famous mint cake that took Edmund Hillary to the summit of Everest!

The cottage is beautifully appointed; warm and cosy with a neat little kitchen and great shower! Quality fittings, bedding etc are installed throughout and all areas were very clean. Parking to the rear is a little tight with a large car (Jaguar XF) but perfectly doable. In summary, a comfortable, clean and characterful cottage in a choice location - we will return!

A couple of comments to improve:- Seat cushion in leather chair needs re-stuffing as quite uncomfortable; bulbs need checking as several not working (light on lounge windowsill, bedside lamp and extractor fan bulbs) other bulbs flickering (bathroom and bedside lamp). Saucepan drawer in kitchen needs sorting - cluttered with an excessive number of pans! No available cupboard or shelf in kitchen to store food items ie cans, jars, bottles etc. Larger towels would be nice especially with such a lovely bathroom to enjoy! Basic welcome tray with a few teabags/coffee and pint of milk would be lovely especially when arrival time is not until 5pm.

Lovely cottage in ideal location to access Grasmere village and lake, Allan Bank, Easedale and other walks. The local bus service is on doorstep and there are many good places for coffee and cakes and shopping. The cottage has a luxurious bathroom, underfloor heating and a comfy bed with parking a real plus.
