Huge reductions for October weeks.

Posted on by

We have made huge reductions for October weeks 8-15 October and 15- 22 October.

Originally these weeks were £790, but as we still have two weeks available and it is getting quite close, we are now offering these weeks at the great price of £590. October is actually a very, very popular time to visit the lakes, and usually we would expect to be fully booked. For some odd reason we’re not fully booked! So if you can get away you have the chance to take advantage of this huge reduction and book peak weeks at low season rates.

If you look around this website you’ll see pictures of the cottage, with it’s new cosy log burning stove, perfect for the autumn evenings after a day in the crisp autumn air. The leaves are already beginning to turn slightly, and by early October the autumn colours will be looking good.

October is the time that discerning visitors come to the Lakes for a last break before the shorter days set in. Here are some autumn photos I’ve taken in past years to give you a hint of the glory of the Lakes in October.The little light spot on the hillside in the middle picture is Brockstone. All these photos are taken on walks which you can do from the door .

Please contact us if you think you can take advantage of this reduction in price and enjoy a week at our beautiful cottage at a wonderful time of year for a special rate.

Wir verbrachten als Familie (zwei Kinder 12 und 14 Jahre) mit unseren beiden Hunden zwei Wochen in diesem wunderschön eingerichteten Cottage. Brockstone Cottage liegt in einer idyllischen Alleinlage. Wir konnten mehrere Wanderungen direkt vom Cottage aus starten. Auch nach Grasmere und Ambleside ist es nicht weit. Wir konnten unsere Woche im Lake District in vollen Zügen genießen.

My understanding, thanks to an online translation, is that this means

We stayed as a family ( two children 12 and 14 years ) with our two dogs two weeks at this beautifully appointed Cottage . Brock Stone Cottage is situated in an idyllic secluded location . We were able to start several walks directly from the cottage . Even after Grasmere and Ambleside is not far away . We were able to our week in the Lake District to the fullest

Anyway, you get the gist. Lovely guests, very happy. Thanks to them for taking the time to write this review.

If you would like to stay at Brockstone Cottage for the week commencing 5 September 2015 we have reduced the rate from £790 to £690. We have also reduced Half Term week in October from £790 to £690.

The other available October weeks have been reduced from £690 to £590. These autumn weeks are often the most beautiful time of year in the Lake District. The crowds have gone, the walking is great, the trees begin to turn. At the end of the day the spa bath and the log fire in Brockstone Grasmere Cottage help you relax and reflect on your days in the great outdoors.

Here’s a photo I took from Loughrigg Terrace, a gorgeous walk that give you amazing views of Grasmere. It’s one of the many short walks from Brockstone Cottage. If you look carefully at the picture you can just spot Brockstone Cottage on the hill
