Click for travel directions The Red Lion Hotel Grasmere is an historic inn nestling in this picturesque Lake District village. Grasmere was made famous by Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who lived in this tranquil Cumbrian village. The Red Lion makes a comfortable base from which to explore not only Grasmere, but also the whole of the Lake District and its spectacular scenery. The dramatic and beautiful landscape of the Lake District was sculpted during the last Ice Age, when giant glaciers gouged out the chiselled peaks and swooping valleys. By the time the ice had melted, the Lake District had taken shape. Its tall mountains and high fells, and secluded tarns and waterfalls make up a rich landscape that has inspired all who have seen it. The region is peppered with picture postcard villages and an abundance of superb hotels, restaurants and cafes, not to mention traditional inns and pubs. It is a thriving bustling place to visit but Grasmere still retains its mellow character and gentle pace. The Red Lion Hotel fits in perfectly with the charm and character of its surroundings.

The Red Lion Hotel Grasmere has 47 en-suite Standard and Club rooms. Each room is finished to a very high standard, and blends traditional elegance with modern convenience. There is a highly commended restaurant that offers a splendid selection of updated examples of traditional British cuisine, and makes excellent use of fresh Cumbrian produce. After a busy day of sightseeing there are few better ways to relax than with a drink in the Red Lion Hotel’s comfortable bar. Alternatively, this Lake District hotel also offers impressive leisure facilities, with a soothing steam room, sauna and an indoor heated swimming pool available to guests. There is a gym for fitness fans. The facilities at the hotel can also extend to corporate needs. Business customers will be interested to learn that the Red Lion offers useful facilities for meetings and conferences in its well-equipped rooms. To complete this remarkable package, the Red Lion Hotel Grasmere offers unrivalled views of Rydal Fell, Langdale Pikes, and the beautiful Grasmere Lake, which is just a two minute walk away.
