Just returned from a fantastic stay at Chestnut Villa. The room was simply beautiful, spacious, in great condition and spotlessly clean. It had great amenities, also. Everything you could need was provided in the room.
The area itself was stunning and our view was exceptional. I think any of the rooms in the house would have a fantastic view as the house was surrounded by beautiful peaks and the gorgeous Herdwick sheep - just a perfect vista to wake up to early morning. The village with its little shops and eateries was a 5 minute stroll away. Our host Michael was great. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I stayed in the Helm Crag room which has fantastic views of the surrounding hills. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the shower superb. The whole room is immaculate and super clean. I didn’t want to leave! The owner was very welcoming and helpful and easy to contact if you have any queries. I would recommend highly.

Beautiful place to stay!
Mike went above and beyond to make our visit special! We stayed in a beautiful room with views out over the hills and enjoyed delicious breakfasts at Freda+Ray cafe.
There are great walks nearby (our favourite being up past the waterfall to get to Easedale Tarn).
The room was very clean and had great facilities. The Chesnut Villa is a 2 minute walk from a bus stop which made our trip very easy without a car.

Beautiful stay on the edge of Grassmere
The suite was very roomy with a modern bathroom and plenty of seating place, including the outside patio. Michael was a very pleasant host who couldn't do enough to make my stay a comfortable one. One notable highlight was the digital radio!

Excellent
Right on the edge of Grasmere village, a maximum 10 minute walk. Suite was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Two pubs within walking distance, the best being the Travellers Rest, excellent food.
One thing to note, no breakfast is included with this accommodation but you do get a discount at a good local 'cafe'.

Our room was amazing - well apportioned, with a luxurious bathroom and very comfortable bed. My only criticism is that we paid extra for a king bed and ended up in a double. The room was so fantastic though that we still felt we got more than our moneys worth. This is a great value in an amazing area. If I lived in the UK I'd return here often.

Would book again
Clean, comfortable and spacious. Lots of light in the room, access to the back yard from the large bathroom and a nice view of the fells from our window. Easy self check in. There's no breakfast on site but there's a tasty breakfast at Freda and Ray's cafe just a couple of minutes walk into Grasmere. Great location for lots of walks around Grasmere and I recommend the restaurant in walking distance called the Jumble Room.

Right little treat of a property. About a 12 min walk to the town (adorable town). We had a suite room which had a lounge and small outdoor seating area which was super cute. The bathroom is of a very high quality, clean and Morden. The lounge area is the perfect size. It’s all quite cosy and spacious at the same time. The bed and sofa are both top levels of comfort, really high quality and well thought out. There’s a cute lil fridge which fitted a bottle of champagne and snacks #girlsnight. Love that there was card games included in the room, it sets a sweet atmosphere up. The views from the back door are stunning, you can see every part of nature right there. Mike was a delight; helpful, kind, wonderful mannerisms even at late hours of the night and early hours of the morning. The breakfast cafe is gorgeous; high quality, stylish and perfect for people watching. We would definitely come again, no doubt.
