As a guest, you'll enjoy complimentary access to Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum, allowing you to step back in time and immerse yourself in the life and legacy of one of Britain's most beloved poets. A delightful café and gift shop await nearby, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Set on the fringe of picturesque Grasmere, this property is a dream base for walkers and nature lovers alike. From the doorstep, scenic trails lead to the sparkling waters of Easedale Tarn, the rugged beauty of Silver How, the iconic summit of Helm Crag and the shores of Rydal Water, all within a few miles.


Tucked away in a peaceful corner of the estate with hardly any passing traffic, Middle Cottage offers a true sense of escape.

Soft furnishings and natural tones reflect the beauty of the surrounding landscape, creating a warm and restful atmosphere. The delightful country-style kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. A washing machine and freezer are conveniently located just off the kitchen while a private seating area to the rear provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine beneath the evening sky. Upstairs, a spacious bathroom offers a powerful shower over the bath, basin and WC. Next door, the romantic king-size bedroom is a haven of comfort and style, beautifully dressed in calming colours inspired by the Lakeland countryside. After a day exploring the fells and valleys, it is the perfect place to retreat, unwind and dream.
