Why we love it
The setting
In Grasmere village, deep in the Lake District National Park, you'll find Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels. Riverside gardens run along the Rothay, with fells rising close on every side. Stone-built, quiet — a fit for walkers, or anyone who wants countryside a few steps from the door. Grasmere village, with its shops and cafes, is a short stroll away.
What to expect
The Classic Double has a full double bed, private bathroom and free Wi-Fi — breakfast included each morning. Rooms run to around 25 square metres. The hotel has a restaurant with a glass-roofed dining room that looks onto the garden, plus a reception and lounge in the main house. Bottled water is provided and the property is non-smoking throughout.
Things to do nearby
The Herdy Shop is about 415 metres from the hotel, and Grasmere Lake and Rydal Water lie roughly 506 metres away for lakeside walks. Grasmere Showground is around 725 metres off, and Faeryland sits about 964 metres from the door. Footpaths from the village lead straight onto the surrounding fells, so most of the walking starts where you are staying.
Best for
Couples who want a walking base in the Lake District with breakfast sorted and the lake within walking distance. Good for a short two-night break away from the car.
