ROUNDHILL COTTAGES 1
A traditional slate cottage on the fringes of Grasmere village, ideal for enjoying walks to Helm Crag and Fairfield Horseshoe from the door.. 4 steps to entrance.
Bathroom: Roll Top Bath With Shower Attachment, Toilet. Electric storage heaters, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. . Patio garden with garden furniture. Private parking for 1 car. Visit England 3 Star.. Less than a mile from the centre of Grasmere, Roundhill Cottages 1 is ideally placed for walkers being at the foot of numerous walks, Helm Crag and the Fairfield Horseshoe to name but two. A gentle stroll brings you to Grasmere, a traditional village with many romantic and poetic connections and still as inspiring today as it was for Wordsworth himself. Local attractions include the Wordsworth Museum, a very accessible walk around the Lake, a well-stocked garden centre and of course, the famous Grasmere Gingerbread - who could resist?
Built in the late 1800s, Roundhill Cottages 1 is a traditional slate cottage suitable for the smaller family. Cosy evenings can be spent in front of the open fire whilst a leisurely dinner can be enjoyed whilst taking in super views over the surrounding fell range. In fact, views can be had from most of the rooms but one of the best vantage points must be from the roll top bath, yes from the bath! Pub, shops and restaurant all 0.5 mile

Lovely cottage. All the amenities you want. great bathroom, kitchen. Great location for Grasmere and eating out in the evening. We would book again for the walks in the area too.
Great location nestled under helm crag outside grasmere. Reasonably sized stone cottage for our family of 5 (3kids 10-15). Generally clean with nice bathroom (complete with heated towel rail and underfloor heating). Some minor picky points however... The Shower was great but the tank empties very quickly with the large shower head, and goes cold quickly. So had to reheat the tank a couple of times and stagger shower times to get family through the shower. Heating setup was also rather odd. There are twice as many storage heaters upstairs to downstairs, resulting in downstairs being quite cold, but upstairs often too hot. Recommend the open fire in the winter - but its a pain to have to get all the matches/paper/kindling/logs - not provided. Lack of wifi is a bit backward in this day and age - Particularly with phone signal not being brilliant. wont bother some though . The entrance to the cottage driveway is very tight too if you have a big car like our ford galaxy. Recommend booking ahead for all the local restaurants. Overall generally ok and good value for money.
We stayed with our 5 and 4yo sons. Great access to Helm Crag and Grasmere. It was close enough for the facilities but in a quiet peaceful spot. We did have a bit of difficulty finding the house originally because the instructions refer to a Youth Hostel, but there are two close together. The house I think says one double and one single (and another room with bunks) but I think they were a king and a double..that was a nice surprise. The bathroom is lovely and modern, with a large shower - although the bath was quite uncomfortable! Kitchen had everything you'd need, except perhaps more microwaveable dishes.
Overall we had a great time and would recommend

We had a great time at Roundhill.
We had a great time at Roundhill. Like many have said the location was perfect, with great walks straight from the door. It was also very convenient to be able to stroll into Grasmere and the local coop had all the basic essentials meaning we didn't have to drive to go shopping a real bonus. The house apart from the sitting room was nice and warm. The blow heaters in the sitting room did a good job of heating the room on our first night and from then on the fire warmed the room nicely (leaving enough wood and kindling for the first night would have been a nice touch). The bedrooms were fine even if the furniture was a little worn. The brand new bathroom was a nice surprise and the new shower was great, with plenty of water for all five of us to shower in the evening. Overall we enjoyed ourselves greatly.
