About this property

The extensively-refurbished Bridge House Hotel is set in Grasmere, directly across from St Oswalds Church and the graveyard where William Wordsworth rests. The hotel sits in its own mature grounds, with beautiful views overlooking the River Rothay.

The hotel has an Art Deco design and is set in an elegant Edwardian house with some period features. All bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms complimented with luxury Bath House toiletries. Most rooms also offer stunning views of the river Rothay or the scenic fells.

Guests are welcomed with cream tea with homemade scones and cakes upon arrival and the pantry offers complimentary tea/coffee also with homemade cookies.

Each morning, the hotel offers a hearty breakfast. A range of cold platters and snacks are available to order, and the property can recommend and book local restaurants for an evening meal. You can also relax on site in a cosy lounge with a log fire, while the residents bar offers an extensive wine and drinks menu.

Guests can use the leisure facilities at the property's sister hotel, The Inn Grasmere. Facilities include a swimming pool and sauna.

Many mountain and lakeshore walking routes are available directly from the hotel. These include Helvellyn, Fairfield Horseshoe, Langdale Pikes, and low level routes beside Rydal Water and Grasmere Lake.

Bridge House Hotel & Silver Howe View Cottage is less than 5 miles from Lake Windermere and around 13 miles from Keswick. Ambleside’s attractions include the Armitt Museum and 17th-century Bridge House.

+ Centrally located in Grasmere village, Bridge House Hotel is perfectly situated to explore Grasmere and beyond. Staff at the hotel are exceptionally welcoming and, thanks to the communal kitchen area - which is perfect for making a hot drink at the end of a long day’s hike in nearby fells - there is a real homely atmosphere to the place. Views from the hotel are stunning, and breakfast can be taken in the large glass sun room area. Breakfast must be ordered the night before, but there is ample choice of cold buffet and cooked breakfast options. The avocado on toast is highly recommended!
− Simply our personal taste, but our bathroom door featured a large glass panel, meaning it was very visible that someone was using the toilet when in the room. We resorted to hanging our bath towels on the back of the door for some privacy. A full, solid bathroom door would have been preferable.
