  • "Lovely cottage."

    We stayed for 4 nights. Very quiet, and beautiful views from the dining area and lounge. The beds were really comfortable and both bathrooms were lovely. Perhaps the owner could think about replacing the fridge at some point, as the milk/ bottle storage in the door was missing. There was no washing up liquid left. We didn’t need to use the dishwasher as we only had breakfast at the property. Unfortunately no welcome pack, so prospective guests need to come prepared. We always bring our own bread, milk etc., just in case. There are supermarkets at Keswick and a small Co-op at Ambleside. However we had a lovely stay and would recommend Thirlmere Cottage for a stay in the Lake District. It has easy access to the road leading to Keswick, Grasmere, Ambleside, Windermere and Coniston. There is a Public Footpath to Thirlmere Reservoir from the cottage garden. We would love to return to the cottage when we next visit the Lake District.

The property

This traditional and welcoming cottage enjoys one of the most awe inspiring positions imaginable.

At the foot of a mountain and so very close to the southern shores of Thirlmere, this is paradise for those looking to for a quiet retreat in the Lake District.

Walkers can enjoy Silver How, Helm Crag, Helvellyn and the Central and Eastern Fells from the door, while cyclists can try out a section of the Sustran National Cycle Route. After an energetic and busy day, guests will love to gather in the cosy sitting room.

Sink into the comfortable sofa by the open fire and slate fireplace or keep an eye out for the local deer, red squirrels and Herdwick sheep.

The view is extraordinary.

The farmhouse kitchen is a delight.

Honister slate worktops and floor, smart fitted units and a large farmhouse table perfect for family meals.

Thirlmere Cottage has two lovely bedrooms.

The master bedroom comes with en-suite bathroom, a double bed and views across the garden, while the second room can be arranged with a double bed or two single beds.

Although slightly smaller, this room has use of a dressing room and the family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin and wc.

The cottage’s large furnished patio is a wonderful place in which to enjoy a morning coffee, a BBQ or simply watching out for the red deer.

Grasmere is the nearest village and here guests will find everything they need.

Local shops, supermarkets, tea rooms and of course, Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage and the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop.

Please note this property has a zip link bed. This will be made as a twin by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a super king.
New for Oct 22, Wifi has now been installed at Thirlmere Cottage

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
