High Grassings lies in the heart of the Lake District with views of the surrounding fells. Wray Castle, an impressive castle owned by the National Trust is just 10 minutes' drive away and Tarn Hows is an 8-minute journey by car.

The main house has large terrace with seating area where you can sit and relax and take in the views of Esthwaite Water. Esthwaite Water is also a popular fishing venue.

Our stay at High Grassings, Lake District Bed and Breakfast was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of breathtaking scenery, this charming B&B offered the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, providing personalized service that made us feel right at home. Each morning, we were greeted with a sumptuous breakfast that catered to all tastes, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The room was beautifully appointed, with attention to detail that ensured a luxurious and restful experience. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the views from our window were picturesque, offering a serene backdrop to our stay. The location was ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Lake District, with easy access to roads, trails and lakes. Tarn Hows was close by and simply quintessentially English countryside at its best! What truly set this B&B apart was the genuine care and hospitality of the hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable, providing insightful recommendations and thoughtful touches throughout our stay. David & Michelle May 2024.

    Both rooms were spotless and very spacious. The single room was a lot bigger than expected. All basic amenities provided as described with lovely views of the mountains. The free parking was a bonus, and Rob was kind enough to move our car whilst we were out if needed.

    Location is excellent at the top of Lake Windermere. We had a view of the lake from our room so very pleased with that. Room was adequately spacious and comfortable. Staff always very friendly and available. Over all the hotel suited and provided all we required. Dog friendly hotel. We don't have a dog but appreciated the restaurant separating those with dogs from those who don't.
