Here you’ll find a lovely space for relaxing and entertaining, with high ceilings, old oak beams, split level gallery and skylight, and large windows looking out to Stone Arthur and the Fairfield Range and really bringing the countryside in. A short flight of stairs leads to a twin room and house bathroom along with double bedroom with en-suite. Outside you'll find a furnished patio and garden for scenic meals al-fresco. Grasmere is a beautiful village, with tea rooms, interesting shops and several art galleries displaying the work of local artists - don't miss the Heaton Cooper Studio. There’s a small supermarket, local shops and bakeries. The evidence of Grasmere's artistic history is all around. The poet William Wordsworth once lived in Grasmere, mused about the surrounding landscapes and completed his most famous work while living in the village. His former home can be visited nearby at Dove Cottage - the Wordsworth Museum. His gravestone is found in the church in the centre of the village, next door to the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop – just follow your nose! Riverside & lakeside walks abound, and the views from Loughrigg Terrace across Grasmere itself are sublime. For evening dining or special occasions, there are plenty of choices nearby in Grasmere village centre, try the Good Food Guide-listed Jumble Room, or the Michelin-starred The Forest Side.
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
