Mary's Cottage Reviews

I spent a wonderful weak with my two beagles. Accommodation was first class and the location in the village of Grasmere was even better, such a beautiful and intimate place, away from the thronging crowds and traffic. I will be returning for sure.
Lovely cottage in a superb location, with hot tub and own parking. But there were several servicing issues that I would not expect in this price bracket. Freezer was so iced up we couldn't open the drawers, to defrost we had to turn off all the sockets as there is no isolator. Seriously bad mould issues in the shower room. Sink drain leaks and no basin provided. No logs supplied, description says there will be some. Dressing table drawer sticks, it is very narrow and the mirror isn't fixed, so very unstable. Front door only latches shut if slammed.
George
Yes a lovely week away and the cottage was just perfect
Michelle
This was our second visit to Marys cottage and we loved it both times.
Carole
A lovely cottage in a perfect location. Near pub and shops but also in the countryside and near the lake. The property is well equipped and we had a nice relaxing break. Thank you.

Such a beautiful cottage situated in a welcoming, friendly village. Everything about our holiday was dog friendly which allowed us to have a relaxing holiday. Thank you x
Fantastic location in grasmere decor in the cottage was well thought out looks stylish very quiet pleasant courtyard garden highly recommended.
Whilst, We understand that it is an ideal facility an additional armchair would be nice to have. We also had 2 power cuts sadly the batteries in the torch needed renewing. Minor issues in what was a fantastic holiday after a surreal year Thanks to Dave and Sara

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 6 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 17 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 20 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 21 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 27 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
