Cheeky weekend away.

My wife and I fancied a cheeky pre-christmas weekend break in The Lake District and Abigails View ticked all the boxes. Great spot with parking and right in the middle of Grasmere. Very clean, smart, spacious and perfect for our needs. We would definitely recommend, many thanks Simone

Lovely Apartment

This is a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment located in the centre of Grasmere. Everything was as described online and the host was very responsive and helpful. It was just me and my husband, but it could fit a small family or two couples. It is small but very clean, well laid out, nicely decorated and stocked with everything you would need. It is up a flight of stairs so be aware of that if you have access issues. There are other rental apartments next door and upstairs but we couldn't really hear them. It comes with an assigned parking spot which is definitely needed in Grasmere if you have a car, as its a very popular tourist spot with very limited public parking. We had our spot nicked by a cheeky neighbour one night, but our host was extremely helpful in helping us resolve it quickly. Grasmere itself is a wonderful place to visit. Local Coop for basic groceries, several good pubs, cafes and restaurants. We ate and drank very well, all in walking distance. Lots of hiking and wild swimming around Lake Grasmere. Highly recommend!

Perfect hideaway in Grasmere

The flat was wonderful - modern, efficient, well appointed. Private parking was an added bonus in such a busy village. A full-size eat-in kitchen along with two ensuite bedrooms was a great luxury. And on the rainy days, we played the games and put together the provided puzzles. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot

What the site or photo doesn’t really show is that this property is bang in the middle of the village. Lots to do and see there. It’s bright and clearly recently updated. Warm big fluffy towels and nice welcome pack. Comfy beds both rooms en suite and the living room/kitchen fab. Nb there is only one parking spot if there is more than one car it can be interesting. Set in stunning area there was nothing not to like

Charming apartment on the Grasmere green

We loved our stay at Abigail's View! After you climb a set of outdoor stairs, you enter the apartment into a large kitchen/dining/living room with a large table and bench seating. Then you go down 3 steps an back up 6 steps to get to the two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The decor in both bedrooms is delightful evoking spring fields and the larger bedroom has a beautiful view of the green. The unit is equipped with lots of thoughtful touches including games, books, umbrellas, coat hooks and shoe racks and, of course, a well-stocked kitchen including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. We never met Simone, our host, but she responded promptly and kindly to any query. Finally, the location was ideal. The unit is above Green's Café which offers delicious food for all diets and just down the street from Sam Read's booksellers whose knowledgeable owner is happy to offer suggestions. Just around the corner is a small Coop grocery and you're just a short walk from everything in Grasmere and you have only to cross the green to catch your bus to other locations. We loved our stay so much that it got us thinking about buying a place just like that.

Right in the heart of Grasmere

This was my thirteenth trip to Grasmere, and I’ve never stayed in a lovelier and more convenient place. Warm, comfortable, and clean, Abigail’s View was much more than we expected or hoped for. I’m looking forward to many more stays at this beautiful, homey, and warm home away from home.

Idyllic lakeland getaway

Nestled in the heart of quiet Grasmere, this property has everything one would need for a great base to explore the Lake District. Convenient to the shops, pubs, Wordsworth's grave and Dove Cottage, there is plenty to do in town. Only 20 minutes to Keswick and 10 minutes to Ambleside the number of hikes and areas to explore becomes enough to satisfy even the most ardent hiker. The property is clean, well kept and with en-suite bathrooms a wonderful place to start your day and come home to in the evening.

Great apartment

Just back from a long weekend & I have to say, what a great apartment in a fabulous location. Great having 2 bedrooms with en suites. Beds were so comfortable. Kitchen had everything you need for a weekend away. The dining table & seating in the kitchen space was good. Didn't miss not having a lounge area. As a family we usually end up sat round the table playing games. Simone, the owner, was really quick in responding to messages & was very professional. 1parking space which was a bonus. So close to bars, cafes & restaurants Would definitely recommend staying here.

Our weeks stay

It was all we hoped it would be, the flat was comfortable, clean, well appointed, quality furnishings and fittings. Parking was stress free. But, as with so many properties that we have rented over the years, I find that the kitchen equipment that is provided is minimal-crockery, China, glasses, serving dishes etc. I tend to cook an evening meal when away on holiday, so it’s challenging for me to find enough dishes, saucepans etc to do so - maybe most of your clients eat out, so it’s not an issue for them? Having said that, Abigail’s View was good value for money, comfortably appointed, well situated in the village, and given the weather it was a most enjoyable and relaxing week. Thank you, Simone.

Grasmere short stay8

A nice apartment, very conveniently located in the centre of Grasmere. We were lucky that the occupants of the adjacent appartments kept reasonable hours as foot falls were audible and waste water from another flat ran through one of the bedrooms. Otherwise a good few days.

We had a wonderful stay in the Lakes District and we felt Grasmere was a good base. The village is just the right size with a lovely feel to it. Staying at this property enhanced our enjoyment. It was an easy walk to everything in the village and for the River Walk. Simone our host was very helpful with so many things. We were fortunate to stay in the master bedroom with the lovely large windows . We enjoyed the views over the park and the sun shining in. The whole place was very comfortable for us and our friends. It had a cosy but also ‘luxe’ feel, due to the decor and amenities. I shall enjoy my memories of our holiday here.

Beautiful apartment - quiet but central

This was our second visit to this lovely apartment - we enjoyed it so much last time with our daughters that we brought a friend back here, and we certainly weren’t disappointed! The apartment is beautifully decorated with quality furnishings, linen and towels. Lots of extra touches from handy everyday essentials to books and games, making it both practical and luxurious! The apartment is ideally located in the centre of Grasmere but very quiet and peaceful, and the parking space is a real advantage. Communication with the friendly, helpful owner is excellent and access to the apartment very easy - thank you Simone for another super stay!

About the host

Hosted by SIMONE SWEENEY

Hi
My name is Simone and I have recently been fortunate enough to purchase this beautiful property in the delightful village of Grasmere. My husband, daughter and I are regular visitors to the lake District, Grasmere being our favourite location.

Why they chose this property

The apartment has had a recent update utilising prints and fabrics from influential designers such as Laura Ashley and Orla Kiely. I have chosen luxurious fabrics, beds, furniture and bedlinen to ensure you have a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. There are books, jigsaws and games provided for you to enjoy. Please can I ask you look after them all so another family can benefit from them too. You never know what the weather is going to be like in the lake district so if you have had enough of playing cards, or reading books, you can take advantage of the Sky glass TV that I am certain will contain something to please everyone, even the little ones. The apartment has the advantage of a private en suite bathroom with each bedroom so you can share with family or even friends. Enjoy the views from each window, have a tea/coffee or wine whilst sitting on the lounge chairs in the master bedroom and watch the world go by. Once you have taken in all the delights of Grasmere, hop on the Laksider bus that stops a stones throw away, their service is reliable and regular. I hope you come and enjoy this beautiful part of the world and enjoy a relaxing break in my beautifully furnished holiday home.
