Summary

However, some mentioned cleanliness issues, including dirty utensils and blocked showers, as well as noise from the heating. Suggestions included improving airflow and adding a ground-floor cloakroom.
The property
We are sure you will love Fairy Glen - a delightfully spacious and characterful family home in an ideal location on the edge of picturesque Grasmere village.
Built in the mid 19thC the property has been sympathetically updated whilst retaining many original features and is sure to please anyone looking for a larger holiday home for either an extended family or a number of couples wishing to stay together.
There is much to do in the immediate area and no need to use the car on a daily basis with shops and local services just along the road, plenty of eating places and various good pubs close by you will have all your day to day needs on hand.
Walks from the door are too many to mention with both rambles and high level peaks accessible.
Grasmere makes a splendid base for a holiday in any season and is always sought after being right in the heart of the lakes.
Make sure you visit the Wordsworth museum and Dove Cottage and see the local churchyard where Wordsworth is buried.
Rowing boats are available on Grasmere Lake in season - beautiful for a picnic on a sunny day.
Accommodation: The house is on three floors.
Front door entrance with room for jackets and boots leads into the welcoming hallway with rooms to either side.
The main sitting room to the left has plenty of comfy seating and an impressive wood burner to keep you cosy on the coldest nights (Flat screen TV and free wi-fi).
To the right of the hallway is the open plan kitchen/dining room with wood burning stove, bay window and TV.
Extra comfy seating makes this a very sociable space, perfect for family gathering, relaxed dining and socialising.
The rear hallway beyond the kitchen has a separate second kitchen utility room, store room and more hanging space.
Leading off the main kitchen, step lead down into cellar opened up as a sung with bean bags and fairy lights, not to mention the 9 foot deep glass covered well.
Back door to small rear yard.
The first floor has four bedrooms, three king size all have character oak bedsteads and stylish en-suite shower rooms whilst the twin has use of the family shower room on the split landing.
