Description A fantastic opportunity to purchase 2 delightful holiday lets in the ever so popular village of Grasmere, offering real character and charm, garage, courtyard patio and within a few hundred yards of the village. Bakers Rest and Old Bakers Cottage are currently very successful holiday lets.  

Location Grasmere is well known the world over for its literary connections with the romantic poets, and with William Wordsworth in particular of course, but it is probably the beauty of the village itself and its wonderful surroundings which really sets the pulse racing. You can quite literally step out of the door of Bakers rest and stroll directly to the lake shore, or walk to beautiful waterfalls and tarns, hike up some of the most dramatic mountains in the region or simply potter around the shops, visiting Wordsworth's birthplace (or indeed any of the many traditional inns which he may, or may not, have frequented) all without troubling to find the car keys.
