GRASMERE'S BEST KEPT SECRET

Our boutique Country House has private access to Grasmere lake.

Enjoy a discount at Grasmere Brewery's tap room - The Good Sport pub - just a moment's walk down the lane.

We offer dog-friendly accommodation, free parking, and are a moment’s walk from the centre of Grasmere. Stay with us for the best of the Lake District!

If you're looking for things to do, check out the "What to do" section of our menu for some ideas. As well as walking the fells, on self-guided paths ranging from easy to challenging, you could have a personally guided tour led by a highly knowledgeable local.

There are many other exciting activities to try out, including visits to Dove Cottage together with exciting contemporary exhibits about the Lake Poets, a variety of events across the county, minibus trips with entertaining and informative commentary, and opportunities to exercise your creative side in art or literature.

Add an extra day to your stay and enjoy one or more of these activities!
