Holidays in Grasmere

Grasmere self-catering accommodation and cottages

Set in the heart of the Lake District, Grasmere is a popular village, famous for being home to the romantic poet William Wordsworth, who described it as 'the loveliest spot that man hath ever found'. Visitors can experience the village’s charm by staying in one of our cosy Grasmere cottages. Aside from its Wordsworth fame, Grasmere is also known for ‘the best gingerbread in the world’. The famous Gingerbread Shop sits at the very centre of the village in the old school where Wordsworth, his wife and his sister all taught. You’ll find an abundance of places to eat and drink in Grasmere, from tea shops where you can indulge in homemade cakes to pubs for sipping quiet pints to AA-starred restaurants. Explore the shops, selling anything from homemade ice cream to traditional Lakeland knitwear and see the permanent display of work by W. Heaton Cooper and A. Heaton Cooper at the Heaton Cooper Studio.
