The Old Bunkhouse

About this property

The Old Bunkhouse is a distinctive detached retreat in the postcard-perfect village of Grasmere.

From its elevated position overlooking Easedale, this stunning property offers a peaceful escape in one of the Lake District’s most iconic settings.

Ideal for couples or friends, it combines exceptional design, comfort and character, the perfect base to retreat to after a day on the nearby fells and mountains.

The well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering simple, with a range oven and induction hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, air fryer, coffee maker, kettle and toaster, perfect for preparing a hearty breakfast before a day outdoors.

The adjoining open plan living/dining space provides a relaxed space to gather, share a meal or unwind after exploring.

A utility area and cloakroom with basin and WC add practicality to the layout.

There are three generous super-king-size bedrooms featuring zip/link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements, each with its own en-suite walk-in shower for a hotel-style touch.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a gravelled seating area, ideal for morning coffee, a quiet read or an evening drink as the light fades over the hills.

Off-road parking for two cars, Wi-Fi, a Smart TV and efficient biomass heating ensure a comfortable and eco-conscious stay.

Whether you’re planning long hikes or a slower pace, The Old Bunkhouse is a superb base for exploring the Lake District.

Note: This can be rented in conjunction with Thorney How (ref 1110308) to provide the perfect retreat venue - the dining/living space can be cleared of furniture to form a yoga room accommodating 20 people.

Note: Alternatively, as the living/dining space can accommodate 10, people may consider booking along with Little How (ref 1110309)

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. 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. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
