Lake District Self Catering cottage, Old Bakers Cottage, Grasmere, sleeps 4

Could be great
The cottage is in a great location has a great layout and is spacious for a two bed. Beds very comfortable. Luckily had a very quiet bunch of people upstairs - I imagine a more noisy group would be a problem. Unfortunately what could be a great cottage is let down by some faulty/cheap appliances - for example dishwasher didn't always start, not enough hot water for a bath, chipped cups. Perhaps as it's on the market the current owners are not keeping it maintained as normal.

Cosy and convenient
We had a terrific stay at Wansfell cottage. It was warm, cosy beds, well equipped kitchen. Ambleside is a perfect location to explore around with many walks starting in the village. There is a great choice of restaurants and shops. The cottage was roomier than it looked from outside. The parking permit is great and there was never an issue finding a place within a few minutes from the house. All round fantastic.

Perfect location
Excellent cottage with great amenities, lots of space and comfort. A washer, microwave and good utensils. It was a little difficult arriving in the dark searching for the key and the car space is impossible! Glad a permit was provided inside he cottage. No towels was disappointing when arriving late and from o/eases. I would stay again with towels provided.

Fantastic short break in beautiful cottage
My family and I had a wonderful break over the Easter holidays in Grasmere , made all the better by arriving at this beautiful cottage . I was very surprised at just how spacious it was and it was also very well equipped . It was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean . Location in the centre of Grasmere was perfect for us . I would definitley return and will be recommending it to my friends and family .

Good place to stay
We thought Grasmere was a great location to base yourself in for the Lakes & were very happy with this cottage. We stayed there during Oct half term (2 adults, 2 children) and were very comfortable. It's well positioned in the village itself. The car parking at the back of the cottage is too narrow for most cars to get into, but they provided a parking permit for a nearby car park, so it was never a big problem. We didn't have any problems with noise from above. All in all a very happy stay.
