Set in an acre of gardens, in the picturesque village of Grasmere, Lake View Country House is located in the heart of the Lake District, in a recently-renovated period property with original features. There is private access to Grasmere lake-shore. Free parking is available on site.

Breakfast at the Grasmere Brewery was lovely. I actually liked walking down the street from the cottage for breakfast. We loved Grasmere - the winding streets, the surrounding hills, the shops. I had chosen Grasmere as a place to stay because we wanted to spend a couple of days in the Lake District and I had read that it was one of the prettiest towns. It was exactly what we hoped for. Richard, the proprietor of Lake View Country House, was so nice and helpful in every way. He made us feel comfortable, welcome, and gave us a fantastic recommendation for a day hike near the house, and for restaurants.

    Nick is a great host. Really appreciate the early breakfast on our first day when we were off hiking. Victorian House is a lovely hotel with a good sized room and period decor. We felt really well cared for. Thank you!

    Lovely place. We stayed in the Garden Suite and had our 2 Irish Terriers with us. No charge for the dogs. Loved that we had our own entrance into our accommodation. Immaculately clean. Super cosy. Bedroom was separate to the living area. Only a few minutes walk to the centre of Grasmere. We chose the breakfast option on booking which we had at the local pub that is owned by the same people. The breakfast was lovely. Richard the host was great and really approachable for advice about the local area and walks. We would definitely return .

    Quiet and 100yds off the Main Street, perfect for walking high or low around Grasmere and beyond. Stayed in the Penthouse, top floor with a private outside terrace which is nearly as big as the room… great for the dog and if we had had better weather, for us too! Plenty of parking, Richard was on hand twice when we needed a hand… forgotten phone charger and then jump leads for the car!!! Nothing was too much trouble, great host.
