£150 off Lakes Cottage with amazing views 22-29 April

Posted on by

We’ve taken £150 off the rate for our Lakes Cottage with amazing views for the week 22- 29 April.

This is a prime spring week, when we think the bluebells will be looking good. You can’t rely on things happening at a certain time, but judging from past years, this will still be bluebell time. This is not a school holiday week, so the area won;t be packed out with families. We’re surprised that we haven’t already filled this week, so in an effort to encourage anyone who might be interested we’ve reduced the rate by £150, from the previous rate of £790 to just £640. You are welcome to bring your dog if you wish, at not extra charge. ( We assume your dog is well behaved- owners always tell us their dogs are well behaved!)

If you read the next blog post down you’ll see that this should coincide with the bluebells. More pictures of bluebells below, along with some other photos taken in the last week of April. These are taken on the beautiful walk from Brockstone Cottage to Rydal Village, and feature St Mary’s church Rydal (Wordsworth was behind the building of this pretty church), and also Rydal Hall. Click here for more information about the Gardens at Rydal Hall.

I’ve forgotten to mentions primroses- a picture below shows a lovely bunch growing near Brockstone Cottage. Photo taken this same end of April week. We hope you’re tempted….

Bluebell time in the Lake District

Posted on by

When is bluebell time in the Lake District? I’ve looked through my photos from past years and they all seem to have been taken towards the end of April.  I’m assuming  therefore that the last couple of weeks in April are usually a good time to see our wonderful bluebell woods.
If you stay at Brockstone Cottage you won’t have far to walk to see these beautiful masses of flowers. As well as seeing the lovely little flowers you’ll also realise that the scent is wonderful too. The best walk if you want to see bluebells from Brockstone Grasmere cottage is to step out of the door, and walk around Rydal Water. Click through the link for an article I wrote about a walk around Rydal Water with pictures and directions.

We do still have a week available at Brockstone Grasmere Cottage for the week 25 March to 1 April. You might be a little early for bluebells, but you’ll catch some of the many daffodils.

Above are the very pretty wild daffodils,Narcissus pseudonarcissus  loved by Wordsworth, just some of the many varieties of daffodils at Brockstone Cottage. This end of March week is just £590 ( we’ve reduced it from £690 for last minute bookings)

The other week that we have available, which will probably be in “bluebell time” is the week from Saturday 22 April to 29 April. This week is £650. (reduced from £790 for last minute bookings). That mean that you can stay at our Grasmere cottage (did we mention that it has amazing views?) , whilst seeing the bluebells and also enjoying everything the Lake District has to offer whilst saving £150.

Here are some bluebell time photos taken in the area around Brockstone Grasmere Cottage. Come and enjoy the Lake District from our lovely cottage with amazing views.
