Grasmere Holiday Cottages

Made famous by poet William Wordsworth, the village of Grasmere is one of the prettiest in the Lake District. Its location in the heart of the Lake District means it's surrounded by magnificent fells, majestic mountains and lush green countryside. So it's really no wonder it's drawn artists and poets to the area throughout history. With Grasmere Lake at its centre, and the beautiful River Rothay flowing through, our Grasmere holiday cottages are the perfect destination for water sports enthusiasts too!

Whether you're booking a holiday for the whole clan or want to escape on a romantic getaway, our Grasmere cottages are the perfect place to relax. We've got everything from cosy log cabins to dog-friendly cottages that sleep over 10 guests. Celebrating a special occasion? Look out for holiday homes with private hot tubs, swimming pools and games rooms to make your trip even more luxurious. And if you need a hand with your booking, just get in touch with our friendly customer service team.

There's plenty to explore nearby, so why not plan a few day trips during your visit? Neighbouring Rydal Water is perfect for a gentle afternoon stroll or for hiring a rowing boat, while keen hikers will love climbing the pikes at Langdale Valley. Then enjoy a well-earned pint at the quaint village of Chapel Stile. Or choose to visit the historic home of William Wordsworth, his Dove Cottage lies in Rydal Mount. And your trip isn't complete without a stop at the famous Grasmere Gingerbread Shop for a sweet treat or two.

What our customers say about their holidays

We had slight misgivings when we arrived in the dark, having taken a side-turning recommended by the SatNav before we got to Grasmere.

However, up we climbed, eventually finding White Moss. First impressions were that it felt very remote - not filling us with confidence given we wanted to eat out and use Grasmere as our base! BUT.... As it turns out, White Moss is only a 10 minute (downhill) walk from Grasmere centre - though a slightly longer uphill trek back :) This has the major advantage of White Moss being quiet, tranquil and blessed with the best views from any self-catering apartment we've booked. White Moss is the basement apartment in what was obviously at one time a huge and very beautifully appointed traditional slate walled house overlooking Grasmere and the fells beyond. Huge sash windows make some of the rooms full of light, with incredible views over the terrace. The bedrooms vary considerably in space - the twin relatively small (though fine), with one of the doubles absolutely enormous. The high ceilings give the place a real sense of space, which is good. The kitchen is very well appointed for self-catering, and the open plan dining room (part of the same large room) is great for a meal with friends or family. The decor is fine, if a bit tired in places (the bathroom could do with some modernisation for example, though is very adequate), but it's clean and certainly not something to put off visitors unless you want a perfect boutique hotel-type experience. For a good sized group of walkers wanting a comfortable, quiet and well-positioned retreat, it's perfect. Other amenities include wi-fi and a well-stocked cupboard full of board games - as well as the normal TV and DVD player (which we didn't use!) Our only two very small negatives were that we didn't have any hot water (from the taps) for washing up or hand-washing (the shower was electric thank goodness) and one of the twin beds had popped a slat (which I fixed). Otherwise, we were all very happy with White Moss and would happily book again.

Lovely old world cottage at a sensible price point.

Great location in Chapel stile. All facilities were provided, large dishwasher etc. Decent size smart TV. The little village shop provided everything we needed for the stay. Would be happy to stay again if the opportunity arose. I think some of the negative reviews reflected things that have since been resolved. The garden was high up some steep steps, so not suitable for pets but there are other places to take the dog nearby. Parking was not available directly outside but it was possible about 20 seconds walk away so not an issue really. A couple of small points. When we arrived there was no hand soap in the property. I left some soap bars which I wonder if they threw away or left for the next resident. Maybe this point is more for Lakelovers. It is next to the church and oddly the Church bell next door rang out at all hours. Typically midnight and 6am so it was impossible to get more than 6 hours sleep. I may have imagined it but I think it also rang at 1am and 2am on one night. If it was my cottage I would definitely put in a complaint to the Council about noise at unsocial hours. I mean the bells are lovely on occasion but no way should they ring between 8pm and 8am. I suppose this applies to all accommodation in Chapel Stile.

The cottage is beautiful and the owner clearly loves their property.

The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, the cottage has lots of space to store everything too. Itâs very good for a family! However, the cottage clearly hadnât had a deep clean for some time. We also had an issue where the cleaners were late which meant that we couldnât get into our property at the specified time. Lakelovers did communicate this to the property owner who gave us compensation for having to leave the property. However, when we returned to the property, there was clear evidence that the property hadnât had deep clean and Iâm not sure the hoover had even been ran around. There were spider webs which had clearly been there for some time, which would have been caught by the hoover with ease. There was also dust on several pieces of furniture and under the beds in my daughters room. I also had to clean the shelves in a couple of the cupboards. Sadly, even though this was passed onto lakelovers, nothing was done and no other cleaners came out to property during in our stay. Overall, the property in a fabulous location, has great space and facilities for families. However, the cleaners are letting you down!

A few snagging issues that I telephoned through earlier today, just to make your company aware of them so they can be sorted before they become big problems.

The biggest problem was with the major noise seepage from Priest End Cottage from the owner's son & 11 of his friends on our last three nights stay. I made Wheelwright's aware of the problem on two separate occasions (called in at their office Wednesday & again on Friday before we left) whilst up there & have just informed your young chap when I rang earlier. It seems the owners of Priest End thought nothing of breaking H&S or Covid regulations & need educating about both. In all the many years we've been having holidays in Chapel Stile we have never had this level of noise disruption happen before - & it's not something either myself or my husband needed when we both have heart problems now. I hope that both yourselves & Wheelwrights can work together to ensure that the owners of Priest End face penalties for what they allowed to happen because it doesn't take a genius to work out that a large group of late teens/early 20 somethings are going to kick off when let out on their own! Otherwise, the cottage was as lovely & the garden as big a joy as last time we stayed (2019) & just as quiet, restful & peaceful up until the final 3 days.

We have just enjoyed a return visit to White Moss some 35 years since the last visit!

We found the apartment to be extremely clean, tidy and comfortable with very good facilities. Except for one important thing for visitors in cool / cold weather: This week has been very wet and cool (outside!), so we stayed in for quite a lot of the time. The problem is that the heating is just about adequate for a couple of hours in the morning and during the evening. BUT during the day it goes off, and the apartment gets pretty cold pretty quickly. There are instructions for swithcing on the heating "outside of programmed times" - followed these, but nothing happenned. I now think that as the heating is "programmed" to be off during the day, you can't override this. I should add there is an electric fire in the lounge, which we had on a lot! But everywhere else was uncomfortably cool - around 15 degrees during the day! My advice - take a couple of extra fan heaters with you and you will fine.
