  • Meticulously styled dog-friendly cottage in the heart of Grasmere
  • Open-plan accommodation with cosy wood burner and shared patio area
  • Wonderful walks on the doorstep around Grasmere village and the lake beyond
Property code: SZ500

This stylish bolthole is a welcoming haven to return to after long walks through the scenic countryside that surrounds the popular Lakeland village of Grasmere.

Located in the heart of Grasmere, there is plenty to see and do from the doorstep. Visit Dove Cottage, the former home of William Wordsworth, before popping into the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop to sample this famous teatime treat. Don your walking boots for a scenic stroll around the lake or head to nearby White Moss Woods, 1.5 miles away, to explore the mystical Rydal Caves. For a low-level walk, follow the historic Coffin Trail or head high to take on Helm Crag, 1.5 miles away, also known as the Lion and the Lamb. Meanwhile, 4.5 miles away, Ambleside is home to an array of pretty gift shops, cosy bars, popular restaurants and interesting galleries, together with three cinemas for those rainy afternoons.

Inside, this property has been tastefully finished in a chic industrial style with natural tones, slate flooring and cosy soft furnishings. The kitchen is light and traditional, with plenty of surface and storage space. Here you will find an electric oven and hob, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Once prepared, dine at the oak and steel table in the stylish lounge/dinner before firing up the wood burner and settling in for a cosy evening of TV or games with the family. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one king-size with a wrought-iron bed and one super-king-size with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beam, both of which have been finished in calming neutral tones. The bedrooms share a clean and bright tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, there is a shared courtyard with a patio area for outdoor dining with your four-legged friend. There is an allocated parking space for one car.

Fantastic location and really well equipped, really comfy master bed (the super king) Once the log burner was on it was lovely and warm. The sofas were a bit hard, we had a 3 year old with us so evenings were spent in the cottage. Bit smaller than it looks on the pictures.

Stayed 3 times. Its right in the heart of Grasmere village and the cottage has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Super comfy beds. Hotels, bars, shops and cafes are all a short walk away with plenty of excellent hiking routes in all directions.

Had a great stay at the Old Gallery, very well equipped, nicely furnished and cosy. The beds are extremely comfortable and with the lovely cotton bed linen, all had a fabulous nights sleep. Expresso coffee machine was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay right in the middle of Grasmere.

Perfect location in the heart of one of the prettiest villages in the Lakes. Incredibly well equipped with the likes of flasks, rucksacks, blankets, umbrellas and other hiking gear. Also the kitchen is similarly well appointed. Couldn't ask for a better cottage.

Lovely gem of a property in the perfect location. Really good size for 4 adults sharing + a dog. The location was absolutely perfect in the centre of the village. The parking space was ideal for a smallish car and we parked a second vehicle in the public car park a few hundred meters away for the week with no trouble. Everything was comfortable andRead more the little courtyard (note it is not enclosed) was a suntrap in the afternoons. Would definitely stay again. Hide

Great little bolt hole. Will definitely stay again. Very clean and so grateful that cleaning products toilet rolls and a little gift box was available. Perfect for us and our puppy. House very clean and no dog smells atall. Although we have a dog we dont like staying in places that smell of dogs or are dog chewed. Wonderful stay. Thank you
