A substantial detached Victorian Lakeland stone-built hotel enjoying a prime central trading position in Grasmere village located approximately four miles from Ambleside, eight miles from Windermere and twelve miles from Keswick.

Originally a twenty bedroom hotel, the property was comprehensively upgraded and reconfigured in 2006 to provide eleven double bedrooms, each with en-suite bath or shower rooms. The present owners have been successfully trading since they acquired the hotel in 2007.

There is potential for a C3 use class subject to obtaining planning consent.

Made famous by the renowned poet William Wordsworth who lived in the village for many years and with its wide variety of picturesque buildings including famous gingerbread shop, Grasmere is a leading Lake District tourist destination attracting thousands of visitors all year round.
