  • Hello I am interested in bringing my mother for her 90th birthday. Would you be able to ensure that we could get a double or twin room downstairs Isabel

    Thank you for your interest however unfortunately we do not have ground floor accommodation. In all honesty as the car park is on a slope, parking the car getting out can be difficult and as there is no ground floor accommodation maybe unsuitable.

HEALTH & SAFETY . HIGH GRASSINGS Is COVID 19 COMPLIANT - Risk Assessment ( GradIosh) In Place. To protect guests and staff. The minute you arrive you can relax. Located off road with magnificent views over towards Esthwaite Water near Hawkshead and the mountains over Ambleside and Troutbeck. Fantastic location close to all main amenities. Set in own grounds with plenty of outdoor areas to sit and take in the beauty of The Lake District . Take a stroll down to the Drunken Duck in for a drink or meal or a longer walk to the Outgate Inn which also serves good food . Drive down to Hawkshead village ( 1.5 miles ) plenty of eateries and cosy shops . Tarn Hows is located 8 minutes away by car - this beauty spot was developed by Beatrix Potter - you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful location . There is a walk around the Tarn with views towards Old Man of Coniston, Wetherlam and The Langdale Pikes.

Being able to live and work in the heart of the Lake District is fantastic and can never see myself selling High Grassings - it’s our Shangri La.

Walks straight from the door - over the fells to Tarn Hows or for those interested I can advise on longer walks taking in mountain climbs or low level walks. Or maybe stroll down to the village of Hawkshead where there are 4 inn's and other eateries, shops and post office. Also within easy walking distance is the Drunken Duck Inn offering good food and even has its own micro brewery . Take the car 4 miles and visit Coniston Water , take a cruise or simply take in the views . If you want to visit Keswick in the North Lakes it’s only 40 mins away by car - you can stop off in Grasmere cozy village well know for Original Gingerbread shop., So much to see and do all within easy reach being located at High Grassings.
