About Jacksons Cafébar & Guesthouse

Jacksons combines two useful Grasmere businesses in one historic village property: a licensed cafébar open to visitors and a small guesthouse upstairs. The building dates from the nineteenth century and has served travellers in different forms for generations, giving the modern business more character than a purpose-built café or hotel.

The cafébar focuses on freshly cooked breakfasts and lunches, artisan-style hot drinks, homemade cakes and a selection of wines and local beers. The guesthouse has five individually designed en-suite rooms, some with fell views, and is aimed at adults looking for a central base within walking distance of the village’s shops, restaurants and walking routes.

Public parking is nearby rather than a large private hotel car park. Accommodation can be booked independently from a café visit, and availability changes quickly in peak periods. Check the official site for current café service and room details.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A very useful all-rounder in the village centre: strong for breakfast and cake by day, with characterful small-scale accommodation upstairs.
