Beautifully clean and tastefully decorated. Central location. Easy walk into the village or down the private access lane to the lake. Badgers are regular visitors as well as red squirrels.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Quiet retreat

Have just enjoys delightful no stress break in Lake View, was a wonderful place to unwind & forget the stress of working. Thank you Richard for all your help

Central village location, disappointing room

we were on the ground floor, good that we didn't have to climb stairs, bur our window looked out onto the splendid conservatory, so for privacy the panes had been obscured. This meant the room felt claustrophobic. Excellent en-suite bathroom. No food served in the hotel so had a short walk to the co-owned pub on the main street. Thankfully it didn't rain. No lake view from ground level.

What a nice quit stay we had! Richard was very helpful! Do make sure you have contact with him before you get there to get your room assignment. Are room was spacious and had beautiful views. Are very convenient to Grasmere.

Nature at its best

We had a fantastic stay at Lake View. We didn’t realise that we could walk to the lake edge and spend some time in the sunshine. It was so peaceful and serene. The badger watching was an absolute treat.

8/10 Very good

Great central location with parking, just off the beaten track and a nice garden that badgers visit regularly. Sadly the ground floor room I stayed in had no outside view. The tall window was opaque for privacy reasons but the top half could have been left to be able to see outside. Felt a little claustrophobic. The proprietor was warm and friendly.

Great family stay

Amazing property and a host in Richard that goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Location is stunning and the property has lots of charms including private walk to Grasmere and gardens with nightly badger visits.

Fabulous Views, Great Room

Booked just one night as a last minute getaway. Stayed in the Penthouse which has a large blacony with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom great. The beams are low at the edges of the room but we are both tall and managed to avoid them :) I would highly recommend this place and will be staying here again in the future.

We had a fabulous time and were looked after by the lovely Abbott family! The place is just off the main road, lovely and quiet. I would definitely go back!

Kelly, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely location a couple of minutes walk to the village centre and the quirky pub restaurant affiliated to the guesthouse. Food was limited but fine and the staff lovely and attentive. Made a nice change from the hotels we normally frequent in Grasmere. A minor issue would be the need for a shower attachment to the bath in the suite we stayed in. The garden was quiet and secluded where we enjoyed a bottle of champagne we brought with us as an aperitif before the meal. English breakfast in the morning at the pub was excellent and we came away with a bottle of Grasmere gin from the attached brewery. What’s not to like about this quiet hidden gem. Highly recommended.

Great choice for Grasmere with dogs. Especially as you don’t pay extra for their stay. We stayed in The Cottage which was ideal for our short break. Will definitely book again.
Christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ideal for couples

This is a lovely place to stay, a truly ideal location just a minutes walk to the village but with plenty of free parking. It’s a pretty building with character, but none of the creaky floorboards or questionable decor you often get with ‘character’ buildings. The bed was plenty comfy, the bedroom was uncluttered and the bathroom was spacious in the “Loft” room. It would have been truly ideal for us as a place to stay as a couple with no time pressures. We had a toddler with us, and upon booking we were immediately offered a cot bed for her in the room which felt very attentive. Having a toddler in that room wasn’t very practical as there was nowhere to put anything out of reach, the doors didn’t have a lock or latch (on the inside or the room door or bathroom) and there wasn’t much spare space in that particular room. The bathroom was attractively decorated and contained pleasant, sustainable toiletries but without a shower or shower attachment on the bath, getting ready took longer than normal. Hot water was instant and plentiful at any time day or night. Room heating was great. In short it’s ideal for couples, but wouldn’t comfortably fit more in.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in Penthouse which was fab! Beautiful views of the lake and had everything we needed. Was a little concerned as dog friendly that there may be a dog smell but needn't have worried the whole apartment was imaculate. I didnt realise we'd still have tea, coffee etc as we had our own kitchenette so was a lovely bonus. Banged my head a couple of times as lowered ceiling white so blends into the rest - no problem with the beams, so maybe just a different colour or an arrow would help. However it didn't detract from our wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!
