The high vaulted ceiling adds to the spacious feel of this room and the dial aspect windows offer views across the grounds and woodland beyond. This luxury kitchen has everything you need to serve up a hearty Lakeland breakfast before heading out to the nearby fells. The sitting room has cosy low beams, oak flooring and woodburning stove. Relax in the comfortable sofas surrounded by beautiful artwork after a busy day. Larger families will enjoy the second sitting room, an ideal spot to curl up with a good book. Head upstairs to find the three beautiful double bedrooms and luxurious family bathroom. Thimble Hall is set in its own wooded garden with private patio and outdoor furniture and BBQ. Perfect for al fresco dining in the summer. A range of places to eat from Michelin Starred The Forest Side just a fifteen-minute walk from the cottage, local bistros to the cosy village pubs. Walks around in this part of the Lake District from gentle rambles along the lakeshore or to take in the stunning views from Loughrigg Fell or head higher onto the fells to bag a Wainwright or two including Fairfield, Helvellyn and Helm Crag all of which the more adventurous can conquer direct from the door.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
