Welcome to No. 2 Town Head Cottages, an historic and characterful Grade II listed building in the Vale of Grasmere at the heart of the English Lake District. Dating back to 1688, the cottage is an excellent base for walkers, hikers, bikers, and all those looking to explore the majestic Lakeland fells.
This property is full of character, with a simple, rustic style that reflects its age and original features. Due to the cottage's age, heating is provided by storage heaters, which can take up to 24 hours to fully warm up. Guests may also notice a few quirks - part of the charm of a historic home! While it's not a modern space, the cottage offers a cosy, authentic experience in a beautiful location.
Upon returning from a day of adventure, there is ample space available for storing those muddy boots and damp coats in case the weather is unfavorable. Head into the living area, a lovely spacious room full of character with exposed timbers, comfortable sofa and armchairs, with TV and Wi-Fi included during your stay. Enjoy a meal around the dining table and cook up a feast in the fully fitted kitchen with oven/hob and microwave, with a washing machine to freshen up any muddy clothes to complete a simple, self-catered stay.
2 Town Head Cottages can sleep up to six across three well-presented first floor bedrooms: one king size bedroom and two additional twin rooms; there is a separate family bathroom.
Situated within walking distance of Grasmere Village, famously once the home of William and Dorothy Wordsworth, you will find a wide range of shops, pubs and cafes. There are some very good restaurants in the area, one of them within about ten minutes' walk, and a great family style pub just a few yards further.
Popular walks from here include following Red Bank Road and then the footpath along the west shore of the lake towards Rydal Water, or along quiet Greenburn just across the valley from the cottage. With no motorboats allowed, the lake at Grasmere is great for swimming, rowing and paddle boarding.
The Lakeland Fells provide some of the best high-level walks in England. You will find the highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike (978 meters), a few miles west in the heart of the mountains, and many other well-known fells like Skiddaw, Helvellyn and the Old Man of Coniston. For those wishing to minimise the use of their car during the stay there are day hikes from the front door (from easy to challenging) to easily fill a week's worth of walking.

A very cozy cottage and beautiful surroundings!
Because of the cold, keeping the fireplace going was necessary, but it was also cozy.

Lovely, cosy time away
Perfect location, we went for Christmas and it was a lovely stay. To our surprise the host had put up a tree for us which was so special as we have to little ones so having somewhere to place the gifts made it that more magical. Also welcomed with tea, coffee, bread and mince pies didn't go unnoticed.

We loved the location walking straight out of the door
You could improve the guestbook as all it says is do this do that don’t do this don’t do that. You could make it more welcoming.

Characterful old cottage in a great location.
the fire is great and it is a perfect base to get out and explore the surrounding areas. Just make sure you get the heaters on!
Needs a bit of TLC and updating. Has quite a hostel/bunkhouse feel

Beautiful location, perfect to go for walks right on your doorstep and we also got to enjoy some afternoon sun in the cottage garden. Would definitely recommend the location though if you’re out for walks a lot and don’t mind a more basic base.
It is quite pricey given the interior is very dated and equipped with basics only (no dishwasher, no BBQ, no firewood included etc.). It also got quite cold due to this being an old stone cottage, so definitely keep this in mind when booking.

Half term break
Really fast WiFi that kids loved, great walks from cottage.
Welcome booklet really good and lots of useful information.
Well equipped kitchen and lots of storage space
Good value for money and lovely view from garden
Scourer would have been helpful.
Reminder on the checkin instructions no freezer so people don’t buy frozen items.
Some mattresses maybe a little tired or base need renewing as some squeaked, hard to work but were comfortable.

The cottage was exactly what we were expecting
A very old cottage in a peaceful setting the views were even better than expected we went for a walk up to easedale tarn in the snow amazing but got very cold and wet in the cottage that’s the only thing that let the cottage down nothing in there to make the fire I think for the price we paid some logs should have been left for us especially with the weather being so cold but that’s the only thing I can find fault with everything else was spot on there was milk and a fresh loaf and tea and coffee which was a lovely touch and we went and bought logs for the fire in Ambleside We ate in grassmere a few times and would highly recommend the jumble room and the yan amazing food and service
