Our Grasmere holiday cottage is now fully booked for Easter. The next available week is from 3rd May. In fact, we have three weeks available in May, from 3 May until 24 May.

The rate for these weeks is £650. If I didn’t already have the privilege of living in the gorgeous area, I think I would pick May as my favourite time to visit the Lakes. The schools are not out, so the area is not too busy. The rhododendrons and azaleas are out however, and they  make a fabulous display in May.

Just walking along the road from Brockstone towards Grasmere you’ll pass by a fabulous garden full of brilliant colours. You can also visit Stagshaw, Holehird , Sizergh and Muncaster gardens which are all superb in May.

I’ve posted pictures I took one day in May last year just walking the long route (20 minutes) from Brockstone Cottage to White Moss House.You can see them here .
