How about staying at our Grasmere Cottage for longer?

Posted on by

The guests who arrived at Brockstone, our Grasmere cottage on Saturday, are here for four weeks! They came last year for 1 week and loved it so much that they are back again for a really great long stay.

The next dates that we have available at our Grasmere holiday cottage are the weeks beginning Saturday 30 May and Saturday 6 June. We are offering these weeks at the special rate of £690, but if you can stay for two weeks you can have an even better rate of £1,290 for the 14 night stay. Why not stay longer than just a week?

Other dates we can offer are- week commencing 20 June , now reduced to £690, and the week commencing 25 July at £890.

For excellent value in the school summer holidays we have a one off 6 night special , arrival date Sunday 23 August, at the superb rate of just £690 for a 6 night stay.

We’ve taken a booking for September 2015!

How far ahead do you plan your holidays? Are you a last minute sort of person, or do you like to fill your diary a year ahead? I tend to do both, but I must admit to booking my favourite self catering accommodation way ahead of time. In fact, I ask the owner to pencil us in for the following year as I leave.

Some of our guests at Brockstone cottage Grasmere, do exactly the same. If you want to stay somewhere as unique as Brockstone, you do need to plan ahead.

We already have bookings as far ahead as September 2015. If you are flexible about dates, there’s not a problem, but if you want to fix your dates around a birthday or an anniversary , or school holidays, don’t leave it too long.

If you want to come in August 2015, we are offering a special rate for a two week slot from 8 August to 22 August (or you could make that 9 to 23 August) The rate for an August week is £890, but if you stay for these two weeks, we are offering a special rate of £1,650 for a family of 4, for two weeks. penny-rock-woods-grasmere-white-moss-walkHere’s a reminder of one of the lovely walks that you can do from Brockstone cottage. This is Grasmere from Loughrigg Terrace. More details of this walk can be found here.

Fully booked for Easter, but dates available in May.

Posted on by

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 .
