About Lake View Country House

Lake View Country House is a distinctive independent place to stay only a short walk from central Grasmere. Its biggest advantage is the setting: an acre of grounds with private access to the shore of Grasmere lake, wildlife including a resident badger sett, and the family-run Grasmere Distillery operating from barns on the property.

Accommodation mixes individual rooms and suites with self-catering options, making the property useful for couples, families and longer stays. Free parking, dog-friendly rooms and direct access to walking routes add practical value, while guests can also use the small wellness and exercise facilities currently offered by the house.

The same family operates The Distiller’s Arms in the village, and guests receive benefits there under the current arrangement. Exact room configurations and experiences change, so use the official site or booking provider to check what is included for your dates.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A genuinely unusual Grasmere stay, particularly good for wildlife, lake access and guests who prefer an independent property over a conventional hotel.
