Not booked your summer holiday yet? We have a week from 25 July to 1 August still available in our Grasmere  cottage (with amazing views)

The cottage sleeps four, so it’s perfect for a family with older children, and you can bring your dog too. The Lake District is a wonderful location for a Summer Holiday. There is the Great Outdoors, with all the hiking, watersports , cycling and adventure that you could want. Check this link to the Forestry Commission’s Grizedale Forest for a taster. This is one of our family’s favourite places for cycling, walks and all sorts of fun. Our children loved visiting Grizedale when they were young, and still go back there now when they come to stay ( they’re in their 30s!)

If you visit for the summer holiday week 25 July to 1 August you’ll be able to visit Ambleside Sports. Always held on the last Thursday in July, Ambleside Sports is a fantastic local day out. Hound Trails, Cycle races, Fell Races, Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling, stalls, local food, beer tent- brilliant. A 20 minute walk from Brockstone Cottage takes you to the Ambleside Sports field.

If you know the Lakes, and love the walk from Grasmere, via Dove Cottage, to Rydal, along the “coffin route” also known as “Wordsworth’s walk”, you’ll have passed by Brockstone Cottage. Every day lots of walkers pass this great little cottage, and many of our guests tell us they’ve always wanted to stay in this fabulous spot. No cars go by- it’s a bridle route, and is only accessible by car as far as Brockstone,

Here’s a photo pf the cottage. Recognise it?
