Bluebell Cottage is on a quiet lane in Grasmere, just off the main part of the village. It's a stone semi-detached house, sleeps six. There are three bedrooms, and each one has its own bathroom, which is handy.
It's got a 4 Star rating. It's comfortable and clean, not ultra-modern. The rooms are a good size. The stairs are normal, not a spiral staircase or anything. The garden is enclosed, so it's safe for dogs and kids. You can park three cars on the drive.
It's about a five minute walk into Grasmere village centre. There's a co-op for groceries, a few pubs, cafes, and the gingerbread shop. You don't really need the car for day-to-day things.
The walk up to Easedale Tarn starts practically from the front door. Helm Crag is another good one from here. For a easier stroll, you can walk around Grasmere lake itself. The Lake District National Park site has maps and route ideas.
If you do drive, Ambleside is about ten minutes away. Keswick is maybe twenty five minutes. Windermere and Bowness are around twenty. You're right in the middle of everything.
Facilities: wood burning stove, wifi, TV, dishwasher, washing machine. There's a drying room for wet coats and boots. Bedding and towels are included. We allow up to two well-behaved dogs. There's bike and kayak storage under lock.
