Grasmere is one of Cumbria’s most famous tourist towns, best known for the distinctive style of gingerbread that is still baked to the same recipe from the 1850s and sold in a little shop that almost always has a queue out the door. It’s a small but lively part of the area that has plenty of gift shops, pubs and cafes catering to the crowds of visitors arriving for day trips and longer holidays, with a history of notable occupants including the poet William Wordsworth. As well as the attractions in the town itself, Grasmere is also in a prime location for walking, with nearby locations such as Helm Crag, Easedale Tarn, Brackenfell and Alcock Tarn, Rydal Water and Grasmere lake itself.
Sitting quietly tucked away in a very impressive setting in the centre of Grasmere village near the River Rothay, Rowan at Grasmere is a luxury self-catering holiday home sleeping 6 guests in 3 ensuite bedrooms providing quality accommodation and landscaped gardens with stunning views. Grasmere is arguably the loveliest village in the beautiful Lake District Nation Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a short level walk to village shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and other amenities and access to fantastic footpaths from our front door. William Wordsworth immortalised his love for Grasmere in his writing, calling it "...the loveliest spot that man hath ever found." Our guests say Rowan at Grasmere is exceptional. Once you stay we think you'll agree.
