Garden Cottage Grasmere Reviews

James
We stayed at Ella House and really enjoyed it. The cottage is cosy and has a lovely feel to it. The lounge, kitchenand dining area are all well thought outand the separate bedroom with an ensuite shower was perfect for us. The bed was super comfyand the darkness at night meant we had the best sleep ever. The outdoor seating offers stunning views - shame it was too cold to sit out, but it'd be lovely in warmer weather. Highly recommend!
Sam
We really enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage, tucked away just off the road near the Grasmere turn. It's about a 15-minute walk into the village, which was perfect for us. The place felt so peaceful, especially falling asleep to the sound of water rushing down the hillsides. The decor was tastefuland everything we needed was there. The hot tub was a real treat, even if the controls took a bit of fiddling. The owner was quick to respond when we had a problemand the letting agent sorted out the key code issue swiftly. Would definitely recommend!
Emily Carter
We had a lovely 3-night stay here. The Garden Cottage is in a great spot, easy to find with what3wordsand only a 5-minute walk into Grasmere. It's really well-equipped, so you don't need to eat out if you don't want to. The decor is tasteful, super cleanand there are cute personal touches. The log burner is easy to lightand the outside hot tub is perfect after a long walk. We'd definitely come back and recommend it!
