Hotels near Grasmere Lake & Rydal Water

"Lake View Country House, Grasmere epitomizes the tranquil beauty of the Lake District, offering guests an unforgettable blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Nestled in a peaceful setting with an acre of dog-friendly gardens, this accommodation boasts the rare privilege of private access to the shore of Grasmere Lake, perfect for a secluded morning stroll or paddle. The house is a short walk from the heart of the village, allowing easy exploration of Wordsworth's Dove Cottage and the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop. Guests enjoy stylish, often lake-view, rooms and the added benefit of a complimentary infrared sauna, making it an ideal retreat after a day of challenging walks on the surrounding fells like Helm Crag. Furthermore, the on-site Grasmere Brewery and Distillery affiliation often provides guests with a discount on food and drink at the nearby gastro-pub, tying the stay to the very essence of local Cumbrian life. Lakeside View nails the essentials: stunning location, thoughtful convenience (parking), and a pet-friendly policy that is truly welcoming. When you combine that with a genuinely fantastic breakfast, you have the perfect Grasmere retreat. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to our next visit!"

"Nothing was too much trouble for this hotel. One of the reception staff even gave advise on walks from the hotel door. Our room was superb and definitely lived up to our expectations having read the positive reviews from other travellers. "

"Our stay at Victorian House was really nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful and our room was very pleasing. The interiors of the house are beautifully curated and we particularly enjoyed being so well located with parking and the lovely breakfast we were served. The only thing that would improve the stay would be new tvs in the rooms but this is minor. We're very much looking forward to returning, excellent stay and great value for money."

"Perfectly placed in a quiet spot on the edge of Grasmere with stunning views. Lots of walks from the doorsteps of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, took our luggage, took an interest into our stay, couldn’t fault the service. Breakfast set up was good with a range of cooked options included in the breakfast price. Had one meal at the restaurant, nice setting and atmosphere, professional service, food was decent slightly underwhelming however given the reputation of the restaurant. Spa was small but rarely busy, great for relaxing in after a day out walking. Room was a little tired, in need of renovation, but a good size and very comfortable. Smart TV was a big plus. Separate bath with its own tv felt luxurious. Overall a lovely stay "

"Great staff - especially those in the restaurant. Room was ok and clean."

"Easy check in and friendly staff"

"Just returned from a fantastic stay at Chestnut Villa. The room was simply beautiful, spacious, in great condition and spotlessly clean. It had great amenities, also. Everything you could need was provided in the room. The area itself was stunning and our view was exceptional. I think any of the rooms in the house would have a fantastic view as the house was surrounded by beautiful peaks and the gorgeous Herdwick sheep - just a perfect vista to wake up to early morning. The village with its little shops and eateries was a 5 minute stroll away. Our host Michael was great. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "

"We have stayed here several times and will continue to return. Excellent location, excellent rooms, excellent food and excellent staff. What more can we say!"

"Quiet and spacious room. Quite dark and no views but comfortable. Plenty of dining options. "
