Special Lake District Offers for Half Term Week.

It’s not too late to get a bargain break in the Lake this half term. If you have a day or two free from now until 3 November, you could take advantage of our Autumn Special Offers.

The weather forecast is for sunshine and showers. It doesn’t look like “the Big Storm” is going to reach the Lakes. You’ll be able to get out for walks from the door, enjoying the wonderful colours on the trees. They are putting on a magnificent show right now. You’ll then be able to relax by the fire in the Wordsworth lounge, maybe playing a game of Scrabble, or hammering out a tune on the grand piano.

Guests who left today thoroughly enjoyed their stay and said “we’ll never forget your wonderful lounge and the fact that you serve Lapsang Souchong tea as an option at breakfast- no other place we’ve stayed can match that!”

We close for our winter break on 3 November, so please ring or email us asap to take advantage of our last minute offers. One night stays accepted any night this week, including Saturday.

It’s a fabulous day in the Lakes

I’ve just driven into Grasmere to pick up the newspaper. What a beautiful drive along the lake. You can see the trees and sky perfectly reflected in the still ,mirror smooth lake. The autumn colours are looking good. Walkers are smiling.

Just a reminder that you can click through here to see our special last minute offers.. Here a picture of a walk that you could be doing.

Rydal Water from White Moss viewpoint

We’ve got rooms available this weekend.

We have a large lounge ( the Wordsworth Lounge) with log fire, books, games and a piano for you to use anytime you like. You may even be able to sit outside on the terrace if the sun shines.

Grasmere from Loughrigg Terrace, one of the many superb walks from White Moss House

Now is the time to book our Lake District Holiday Cottage for 2014

As you may know, we have a holiday cottage, Brockstone, which is perched on the “coffin route” aka “the Wordsworth walk”, between Dove Cottage, Grasmere, and Wordsworth’s favourite home, Rydal Mount. No traffic passes- just walkers, (and their dogs), deer, sheep , red squirrels…..

We have reduced the rates for the two week we still have available in October from £690 to £550, or you can take a 3 night break if you wish.You can check the special offer rates here.

November is almost fully booked, as is January and February. If you are planning a visit in 2014, please book as soon as you know your dates. We already have a record number of advance bookings for 2014.

Our Lakes Holiday Rental Cottage

The view towards the Langdales from our Grasmere holiday cottage ( you can also see Rydal Water if you swivel round)

The other day we sat on the terrace on changeover day, enjoying a cup of tea in the sun, watching a nut hatch on the nuts hanging from the hedge. Did you know nut hatches hang upside down to eat? I didn’t, but they do. Looking at the view, we were reminded again of what an amazing location this is for a holiday cottage.  No wonder one recent reviewer (from Texas) wrote

 “A great location for vacation rental. It’s located down a “road” which is also becomes the Coffin Trail walking path. Other than an occasional hiker on the path below, you will see no one. The views are stunning: the mountains and, to the left, Rydal Water. Every morning, I sat on the terrace and watch the mountains and clouds change. The location is unique and the views unparalleled. Moreover, you can listen to Brockstone’s own waterfall from the terrace–it flowed continuously while we were there.”

Dry and sunny in the Lakes this weekend- and we have some bargain last minute rates.

We’ve been fully booked midweek, but we’ve got rooms available this weekend. Where’s the logic in that?  We’ve actually welcomed lots of overseas visitors, who are on a trip round Brtiain and are not tied to the weekend. This week we have welcomed guests from Sweden, France, the USA and Australia.
However, we do still have rooms available this weekend, so we’ve reduced the rates. You can see our offers here on our Lakes Bed and Breakfast Special Offer page.. We even have a room available for a 1 night stay on Saturday 28 September.

The weather forecast really is good- 17 degrees and sunny on Saturday. Don’t hesitate- book asap!

The leaves are just beginning to turn. This is the creeper on the front of White Moss House. Some of the trees have turned golden or red. There will be some excellent photo opportunities this weekend to catch the early autumn colours.

Mists, mellow fruitfulness and short breaks at our holiday cottage with amazing views.

We have the week beginning Saturday 28 September still available, at the last minute rate of £590. This is for up to four guests. Bills all included.

Soak up the views, walk from the door,  watch the sunset from the terrace, then relax in the bubbly spa bath  …Sounds tempting?  See more information and pictures about Brockstone Grasmere holdiay cottage with amazing views. here.
