Your charming stay in the Lake District

Set at the foot of the fells within two acres of riverside gardens on the edge of picturesque Grasmere village, the four AA Silver Star Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels is a boutique countryside hideaway with an array of outdoor activities to enjoy right on its doorstep. Many of the rooms and suites boast lakeland views and balconies overlooking the banks of the River Rothay. 

Grasmere

Quaint, rural and set at the foot of the fells in the heart of charming Grasmere. The majestic Helm Crag overlooks the village, while Grasmere Lake provides the finishing touch to perfectly scenic days in the Lakes.
