Coleridge

About this property

Coleridge, a stylish first-floor hotel room, rests in the heart of Grasmere within the Lake District National Park. Tailored for couples or solo travellers, this adults-only retreat offers the rare combination of lakeside tranquillity and the convenience of an on-site bar and restaurant. Step out onto the gravel drive and feel the satisfying crunch underfoot as you approach this historic hotel, established in 1871. Its timeless stone exterior is complemented by tasteful details—potted greenery, soft lantern lighting, and graceful deer sculptures that set a welcoming tone. Ascend to the first floor and take in the curated collection of local artwork lining the walls, a subtle yet striking feature that flows throughout the space.

Inside, the king-size bedroom is dressed with feature-patterned wallpaper and a Smart TV, creating a warm and inviting space to unwind. The sleek en-suite includes a spacious walk-in shower, basin and WC, while a fridge and kettle provide the essentials for light bites and morning brews. Outside, guests can enjoy a shared rear garden with a well-kept lawn and comfortable seating—perfect for soaking up the fresh air with a drink in hand or a good book. The on-site bar and restaurant offer a relaxed setting for evening meals or a casual drink, with a TV for added entertainment, all just steps from your door.

With Grasmere’s charming shops, welcoming pubs and scenic waterside walks close by, Coleridge is a wonderful base for discovering the beauty and calm of the Lakes. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1180244 & 1181973, together sleeping six guests.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
