The Red Lion Hotel in Grasmere is an historic inn nestling in this picturesque Lake District village. Grasmere was made famous by Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who lived in the tranquil Cumbrian village; it has been popular with tourists ever since, and yet while it is a thriving bustling place to visit – especially during the summer months – Grasmere still retains its mellow character and gentle pace. The Red Lion Hotel makes a comfortable base from which to explore not only Grasmere, but also the whole of the Lake District and its breathtaking scenery. The dramatic and beautiful landscape of the Lake District was sculpted by nature during the last Ice Age, when giant glaciers gouged out the characteristic chiselled peaks and swooping valleys that we know today. By the time the ice had melted, the Lake District had taken shape; today its unique scenery, its tall mountains and high fells, its expansive lakes and waterfalls, its trickling rivers and secluded tarns make up a rich landscape that has inspired poets, artists and tourists for centuries. The region is peppered with picture postcard villages and an abundance of superb hotels, restaurants and cafes, not to mention traditional inns and pubs. The Red Lion Hotel in Grasmere combines elements of these together in one impressive package, and fits in perfectly with the charm and character of its surroundings.
The Red Lion Hotel has 47 en-suite rooms; all have recently been refurbished to a very high standard, and blend traditional elegance with modern convenience. There is also a highly commended restaurant that offers a splendid selection of classic and more modern British cuisine, and makes excellent use of fresh Cumbrian produce. After a busy day of sightseeing, what better way of relaxing than with a drink in the Red Lion Hotel’s comfortable bar? The Red Lion Hotel also offers impressive leisure facilities, with a gymnasium, steam room, sauna and an indoor heated swimming pool available to guests when a spot of relaxation and indulgence is in order. Business customers will be interested to learn that the Red Lion Hotel offers useful facilities for meetings and conferences in its well-equipped rooms, and to complete the remarkable package, the Red Lion Hotel offers a warm, friendly welcome, unrivalled views of Rydal Fell and Langdale Pikes, and the beautiful Grasmere Lake is just a two minute walk away.
