Coachman's Cottage, Grasmere - Review

 

Without question this was the best self catering accommodation at which I have stayed. The most dramatic aspect is that all the rooms are on the first floor, the ground floor is given over to utility rooms. So the spectacular views from the living room takse in all the fells that surround Grasmere.

All the following photos are taken through the living room windows. This is the view over to Silver How.

Next is the view to Helm Crag.

The following is Seat Sandal. Somehow I missed Stone Arthur.

In the distance is Heron Pike, part of the Fairfield Horseshoe.

There is a fell in the distance (maybe Stone Arthur?) but it is the rhododendron that wowed us every time we came back to the cottage.

But apart from the views, which are even better sitting outside, the rooms are spacious and well kept. Someone wrote in 2009 that the bed was uncomfortable. Now I am very fussy about beds and I found this to be at least as  comfortable as mine at home. The equipment is all first class and having a drying room downstairs essential for walking in the Lakes. The parking could not be better and the quiet situation on the edge of Grasmere was perfect. We look forward to staying here again.
