22nd September 2024, guest from Hayle:
"Cottage in wonderful location. Is well kept, very clean and has everything you could need for your stay. The views from the terrace are spectacular, and as the weather was spectacular for the week of our stay, we spent much time outside on it after a long day's walking or touring. The Cottage is also an excellent centre for visiting most of the Lake district's main tyowns, Villages and attractions"

Tip:
"1. Do make use of the excellent bus service. Both the 599 and 555 service stop at the bottom of the hill from the cottage. The services are regular & run well in to the evening. Destinations like Kendal, Keswick & Ambleside render the csar redundant if visiting these places. Bars, Cafe's Restaurants and gift shops are plentiful.
2. The Coffin path to Rydal is right under the Cottage. Gorgeous walks on to Ambleside, Grasmere or round Rydal water are available via this path. If you're up for it, try a walk up Nab Scar and on to Alcock Tarn up at the back of the cottage. Take the Coffin path to Rydal and turn left. Pretty tiring this one, but all okay with a 'sundowner' on the terrace later."

"This was a perfect secluded retreat for my wife and I to enjoy the hills and local amenities in Grasmere for a week in July. The location is ideal and right on the coffin route which allows you to walk into Ambleside or Grasmere and between Wordsworth's two homes. The views are wonderful and the cottage has all you need, including a very comfortable king sized bed. If you want a rest away from it all - this is the place. "

Tip:
"Grasmere is quieter than Ambleside and has some lovely places to eat. We were a bit taken aback by how early everything closes, you can get a meal past 8pm in many pubs! So eat early. "

"A wonderful ‘home from home’ in a superb position off the beaten track yet within a few footsteps of wonderful walks and within easy reach of all the facilities of Grasmere. We have walked along the footpath outside numerous times over the years not realising we were missing such a hidden gem. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. We’ll be back! "

Tip:
"Stock up on provisions and then you can literally park your car and walk on the fells from the doorstep. Alcock Tarn, Helm Crag, Fairfield Horseshoe to name just a few are all accessible - and we’d highly recommend a beer or glass of wine on the south facing terrace to enjoy the wonderful views after a day. Bliss! "

"We had a fabulous few days at Brockstone, enjoying wonderful views and a variety of walks from the door step. The house is spacious and very comfortable (super king bed was a treat!) and set in an idyllic spot and within walking distance of Grasmere or 5 mins away by car so suited us perfectly. The garden is so pretty and we enjoyed sitting out with our morning coffee listening to a variety of birds and gazing down on Rydal water. All in all magical and we shall look forward to returning for an escape back to nature as soon as poss."

Tip:
"Wonderful walk up Loughrigg from the cottage.
Applepie shop in Ambleside for treats.
Zeferelli's in Ambleside for great cinema and dinner deal.
Walk to Grasmere from the cottage very pretty."

"Very quaint and quiet rural location which is ideal for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Fantastic views even when dull and wet. Great communication with the owners. "

Tip:
"Dog friendly places to eat, Ambleside Inn and locally Tweedies bar, Heidis and the Good Sport in Grasmere. Take your walking boots or a mountain bike !"
