Ben House, Grasmere

Lake District. Sleeps up to 6

Ben House is an extraordinary early Victorian property with spacious rooms. Recently renovated to exacting standards, you’ll find the house to be an elegant and comfortable holiday home in a sleepy corner of Grasmere. Originally built as a gentleman's residence in the 1830s, the house still retains many of its original features, but has seamlessly integrated some contemporary design features and conveniences. Walking along the beautifully tiled hallway to the modern kitchen, you can’t help but admire the high ceilings, large windows and feature fireplaces. Other features include bespoke luxury bathrooms with underfloor heating, a large lounge complete with leather sofas and log burner (logs not provided), a spacious dining room and three very well presented bedrooms, sleeping up to six guests. The heart of Grasmere village is just a short stroll away with cosy tea rooms, handy shops and a range of eateries - from local bistros to traditional village pubs. Visit Forestside, a Michelin-starred restaurant if you are looking for a real treat. Walks abound in this central part of the Lake District, from gentle rambles to more adventurous hikes onto Fairfield, Helvellyn and Helm Crag.
