You could spend a whole week at our country house hotel in Grasmere and not touch the car once – and for many of our guests that’s yet another reason they love spending time with us.
Or you could use The Gold Rill as your base for going beyond the Grasmere and Ambleside attractions to explore all that the Lake District has to offer.
Whichever you choose, you won’t be short of things to do…
Grasmere's central position in the Lake District makes it the ideal place from which to explore the whole region, yet some of the area's most breathtaking scenery and fascinating attractions are right on the doorstep.
Discover the history and inspiration of Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage. Tackle the peaks and fells that surround us: Alcock Tarn, Loughrigg Fell and Helm Crag. Or, if you'd prefer something a little less demanding, browse the local craft and antiques shops. Whatever your preference, you'll always find Grasmere attractions to appeal.
August sees the annual Grasmere Sports and Show - a fantastic village event showcasing local crafts and traditional sports such as fell running and Cumberland wrestling.
We've plenty of maps and leaflets at the hotel to help you find things to do in Grasmere, Ambleside and beyond – and we're always happy to offer a little helpful guidance if you need it. Just ask.
