Victorian House Hotel is located in Broadgate, Grasmere in the Lake District. The Hotel seeps traditional infrastructure and beauty. It was built in 1872 as a guest house, right at the beginning of the advent of tourism to the lakes and has continued to remain to be at the heart of Grasmere ever since. It is accessible from London as there are train links from Euston station to Grasmere, which takes approximately 5 hours, as well as car links but we do encourage guests to refer back to our plant a tree scheme, to ditch the car and go carbon-free but we do also provide a limited number of car parking spaces.
Popular Activities
One of the Lake District’s prettiest villages is Grasmere, nestled in a vale just north of Grasmere lake and crowned by magnificent fells and mountains on all sides. This is romantic England at its purest: immediately south of town is the rugged peak of Helm Crag (aka ‘the Lion and the Lamb’), while to the north is the ancient cairn known as Dunmail Raise. All around it are the scattered hamlets and farmsteads, while dense woodlands and lush meadows fringe the lakes of Grasmere and Rydal Water and Loughrigg Tarn.
One of the most beloved destinations in Grasmere is Dove Cottage, where you can immerse yourself in the world of the renowned poet William Wordsworth. This charming cottage is connected to the William Wordsworth Museum and welcomes visitors every day. Currently, Dove Cottage is open from March to October, from 9:30am to 5:30pm, and from November to February, from 10:00am to 4:30pm.
Experience a delightful hike to a breathtaking viewpoint that can be completed in just 2 hours round trip. The Helm Crag trail offers stunning views of Grasmere Lake and is a must-do activity during your Lake District weekend getaway. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and immerse yourself in the picturesque surroundings.
If you’re not particularly interested in churches, St Oswald’s Church is still a must-see when visiting Grasmere. Its impressive spire is hard to miss as you wander around the town. Dating back to the 14th century, the church is named after Oswald, who established the first church in Grasmere in 600 AD. The church’s roughcast stone and traditional Lake District grey slate make for a stunning sight.
