The Groom's Cottage is located in an estate that is on the western shore of Lake Windermere. A moments drive from the tiny village of High Wray, or 10 minutes to the busy village of Hawkshead - perfect for supplies and a choice of 5 pubs and restaurants! The cottage has views of the lake & the hills beyond. Ambleside is just 4 miles away too, although it takes around 10-15 minutes drive, due to the cottage being rurally located, and accessed by the local single lane country roads. In winter in extreme weather, please allow longer due to the possibility of poorer condition. The western shore is much quieter than the busy east side, but with a private jetty, why not bring or hire a boat to enjoy the lake and it's facilities by water. Cottage 60 metres for door to shore! The cottage is located in a large estate and is in an unspoilt, woodland setting. A car is essential. If isolation, peace and quite, no cars, no people and rugged Lakeland countryside is to your liking, this is for you

Notes: To see what lots of past guests have written in our in-cottage guest book, click 'see details', located to the left, just under this section!! The cottage is rurally located, and a car is essential, although the village of Hawkshead (shops, pubs etc) is 3 miles away. It is in a woodland setting, with the lake down the main drive and through a wooden path. Approximately 60 meters from the door, 10 from the demise of the grounds. The cottage is set in a very quiet area. It is adjacent to the owners main residency, but is detached, and all access is separate. Access is via a sound, gravel track, suitable for cars.

A cosy place for all seasons

Bill & Sophie Wiltshire
Review Submitted: August 24, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Although tiny ('bijou' might be a kinder description), Groom's Cottage has everything two people might need for a week's retreat. If you're blessed with good weather, the various outside spaces are a delight - sitting with a glass in your hand on a summer's evening, looking out from your own private jetty over Lake Windermere is a rare treat. If it's wet & cold, the cosy bedroom studio is the perfect place to curl up with a good book.
The owners in the next door 'big house' were wonderfully discreet but made us aware that they were on-hand if we needed anything.
There's nothing one can add to what has already been written about the Lakes and Groom's Cottage is about as ideal a base as you'll find for your explorations. Probably not ideal for a pair of burly six footers, but just tiggerty-boo for a couple under 5'7"!

Secluded Woodland Hideaway - Grooms Cottage

Wendy & Carl Leeds
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
What a find!!!!
This is the place to go for peace and tranquility in a beautiful setting to recharge your batteries - this is the place to go
In a beautiful secluded woodland location with Lake Windermere on your doorstep
The private jetty is amazing, we had breakfast there most mornings overlooking the lake which was so tranquil and relaxing
The cottage is small as stated but it is clean comfortable and cosy. Fun was had trying to light the real fire, another added bonus
The bed is massive and so comfortable.
It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into this cottage from the fluffy robes in the bedroomand its quality fittings to the champagne, chilled glasses and breakfast items in the fridge, what a lovely surprise.
Richard was a lovely host, more like staying with a friend, nothing was too much trouble.
Ther are great walks and bike rides directly from the cottage.
We actually were lucky enough to see some of the wild deer in the woods!!!
We had a lovely week and can't wait to return.
We would recommend Booths supermarket, really good quality. Lots of good pubs serving food not too far away.
Thank you Richard hope to see you again soon

Secluded Paradise!

Rori Garden City, New York
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The description was extremely accurate: this place is secluded, private and wonderful! We were two old friends that had a reunion vacation here. We barbequed, painted watercolours lakeside, and were still close enough to plenty of local attractions without being in the middle of tourists, noise or anything! We felt like we were on our own private lakeside estate. The location also allowed easy day trips to visit the entire Lake District!
Our host provided us with enough essentials from the local market for breakfast, and he was even available by phone to help us find our way when we thought we were lost! The cottage and grounds were immaculate, comfortable and convenient. We hated leaving.
One word of advise: make reservations for the Drunken Duck Inn for dinner or they will not seat you, even if they have tables. And dinner here is a must!

Groom's Cottage

Visitors from Seattle Seattle, Washington, USA
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
A very good spot from which to make Lake District excursions on foot or by car. The cottage is tiny, but that was clear from the ad. Likewise, the fact that it doesn't actually front on Lake Windermere, but the lake is only a two minute walk away. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen pleasant, the place very clean and the owner extremely friendly and helpful (and the weather glorious). The two-storey layout is a slight bit awkward, but for us it was part of the charm. We especially appreciated the flowers in the house and the invitation to use the garden.

A Must in the National Trust

Nico and Yvonne Holland
Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed for a week at The Groom's Cottage under for us ideal circumstances: lovely situated in a quiet surrounding with a lot of privacy and not spoiled by the negative influence of modern tourism. Inside the cottage was proper and well equipped and outside a delightful landscape to explore. The cottage didn't have a separated living room, but the very comfortable sleeping room was well appointed. In our case we also had the luck that the weather was very nice and after a day of walking it was very relaxing watching TV. on our bed. Richard, the "landlord" of the Belle Grange was a excellent host and was very helpful to find for us a B&B after our stay at The Groom’s Cottage. Now we’re back in Holland we’re looking back on a very successful holiday with a lot of nice memories.
