Just discovered that our stay in Grasmere at the Town Head Cottage is well....not the place I thought I booked. It's a really cool old stone house built in 1688. Yeah, that's right. 1688! Amazing. I thought I booked a completely different place but it's okay. True, its an impressively old property but old properties are ummm...old! And old stone properties are old and cold!
It's just a cottage that up to 6 strangers can share at any one time. The property owner is not on site and breakfast is not provided. There is a decent kitchen though so we can cook our own dinner & breakfast, provided there's a place to buy provisions nearby. Haven't figured that out yet.
Here's the biggest surprise of all: It has one bathroom. That's gonna be interesting.... It's entirely possible that Lauren and I will have the whole place to ourselves or perhaps we'll be sharing it with other walkers. Either way, it's gonna be very cool. Maybe we'll encounter some old English ghosts!! I hope they bring their own pints.
I sure hope that have upgraded the "facilities" :)
