Adults-only country house with fell views and homemade breakfast in the Lake District
Rooms & Accommodation
High Grassings Country House offers three en-suite room categories, all with views of the surrounding fells and Esthwaite Water. The Deluxe Double Room and the Suite with Mountain View include designer toiletries and a TV. The open-plan Suite provides a dedicated seating area with picture windows looking out over the Lake District landscape.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served in the conservatory and includes homemade produce from local farms and butchers. Guests can choose from a full cooked English breakfast or continental options, with vegan alternatives available upon request. The scrambled eggs are made from the resident hens' eggs, and a fruit platter is offered in the Suite.
Hosts & Local Knowledge
Hosts Dave and Carey provide detailed recommendations for walks, restaurants, and attractions based on their extensive knowledge of the Lake District. They offer printed walking directions for circular routes, including an 11-mile walk starting from the property. Their guidance helps guests avoid crowded areas and discover hidden gems such as the Drunken Duck pub.

The property sits 2 miles from Hawkshead and a 13-minute drive from Ambleside, with Wray Castle 10 minutes away and Tarn Hows 8 minutes by car. Esthwaite Water, a popular fishing venue, is visible from the terrace. Grizedale Forest is a 16-minute drive, and the Langdale Pikes lie 26 minutes away.
