Perched on a rocky ledge, slightly removed from the village centre, Acorn Cottage is a timber-built property with a magical feel. The views are just lovely, and the surrounding woodland makes the perfect backdrop for a fairy tale cottage.
The house is approached by stone steps leading to the front door. Stepping inside guests will be thrilled with their choice of hideaway with its traditional features, wood beams, stable door and feature stone fireplace. The décor is stylish and tasteful, and the furnishings inviting and comfortable. A deep-cushioned sofa and generous armchairs are clustered around the wood burning stove, while a pretty glass panelled door hints at the beauty outside. There is plenty of space for boots and coats in the under stairs area, which in turn takes guests to the two lovely bedrooms. A spacious twin room can be made up as a king if requested in advance, and the very pretty double room is temptingly cosy, with luxury bedding and traditional cottage door. Upstairs is the gorgeous house shower room with reviving walk-in monsoon shower.
The smart kitchen is a delight; modern, bright and very well equipped. Parking for the cottage is on the lane outside and is suitable for a small to medium sized vehicle.
Grasmere is a wonderful location for a holiday in the Lake District. Home to the famous Grasmere Gingerbread, Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage, a churchyard steeped in history and with a fine array of tearooms and restaurants around every corner. The sophisticated village of Ambleside is a short drive away, and there are wonderful walks around Rydall Water, Loughrigg and Easedale Tarn to enjoy.
