Stone Arthur Cottage

Grasmere 1 mile. Stone Arthur Cottage is an elegant and original slate-built farmhouse property situated on the outskirts of Grasmere, Cumbria, that will appeal to everyone's internal lake lover. Boasting the highest modern standards, while retaining the charmingly old-world character of Stone Arthur Cottage, this delightful abode sleeping six has everything you could ask for in the beating heart of Lakeland! As soon you walk up to the Gothic cathedral-style doors, you can tell this is a special and thoroughly authentic property. From the archaic lintel above the woodburning stove and the wonderful thick beams that line the ceiling in the sitting room, to the beautiful floors and furniture echoed throughout this excellent property, antique wooden grandeur is everywhere! High quality, high comfort sofas let you curl up in luxuriant bliss near the blazing woodburning stove, and the wonderfully spacious yet homely country kitchen is open to the sitting room, and makes a great spot in which to enjoy those all important walkers' breakfasts before you hit the hills. The bedrooms are generous and refined rooms, with the most wonderfully ornate and lavish antique wooden bedsteads, and ensure you wake well refreshed each morning to tackle the day's activities, and the superb modern bathroom facilities will also help energise you into top form. Views to Grasmere lake itself and the fells all around make your cottage a real delight to stay in, and the location could hardly be better, perfectly central in the Lakes and offering a winning combination of adventure in all directions and blissful tranquillity. The most glorious scenery anywhere in England is all about you, and it goes without saying that the walking is second to none. Smaller fells like Loughrigg and Helm Crag make for outstandingly beautiful rambles, and there are plenty of larger mountains to conquer as well as a multitude of leveller walks by the lake shores. This is Wordsworth country too, of course, so the cultural heritage is truly fascinating, and you can even walk up Greenhead Ghyll from Stone Arthur Cottage, and see the very sheepfold that inspired the poem 'Michael'. We fully recommend a visit to at least one of the homes of the famed poet; Rydal Mount, Allen Bank and Dove Cottage are all open for your enjoyment. With its perfect blend of historical charm, comfort, and an unbeatable Lakeland location, Stone Arthur Cottage offers an unforgettable escape for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
