No.2 Town Head Cottages

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.

Because of the cold, keeping the fireplace going was necessary, but it was also cozy.

Great location, great house. Nice and quiet, yet close enough to towns for visits. Had all the facilities we needed. Nothing really..

We loved our stay - the house is old and characterful and it's wonderfully positioned to be able to walk straight up into the fellsdown the lane into Grasmere. We would definitely come back.

Fantastic location

The location, lovely fireplaces and really comfy beds with 360 views of the mountains.

The host was also very responsive and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay with great access to walks. 30 min walk to Grasmere if you need suppliesa bite to eat!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
