Guests also have access to a communal utility room with coin operated washer/dryers, a handy space to wash off your mud-splattered clothes following some unforgettable fell walking. Spend your mornings out in the garden as you delight in a warm cup of coffee before wandering the well-manicured communal lawns with your favourite canine companion. Discover the true delights of the Lake District with days spent hiking along Alcock Tarn, Fairfield and White Moss Walks, spotting incredible wildlife such as exotic birds and elegant deer before stopping off for a bite to eat in one of the many local cafés or restaurants. Learn of the rich and exciting local history at the ancient remains of Ambleside Roman Fort and the grand 19th century dwelling of Wray Castle, a popular National Trust owned property. Cross Lake Windermere over to 17th century Farmhouse of Beatrix Potter or discover the captivating museum of Wordsworth Grasmere and Rydal Mount & Gardens, the former homes of English Poet William Wordsworth. Embark on an enthralling cycle along the Weston Shore of Windermere, or visit the idyllic Faeryland Grasmere where you can indulge in some delicious cake from the Café before hiring one of the adorable rowing boats for a tranquil journey across the River Rothay. With so much adventure awaiting your arrival, it’s no surprise that Easedale makes an excellent choice for your next holiday to Cumbria.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
