Welcome to the Forest Side Hotel in the Lake District

At the Forest Side Hotel we offer our guests a non smoking environment with beautiful, stylish but affordable bed and breakfast accommodation in Grasmere, heart of the Lake District National Park.

Our range of comfortable bedrooms and self catering apartments suit all tastes, and are ideal for couples, families, weddings, conferences, committed walkers and groups.

The building has many original features such as high ceilings, intricate coving, large bay windows, wood panelling and open fireplaces.

The hotel is designed to be your personal country retreat - with the discreet familial feel and cosiness that makes Forest Side so special. In cooler weather you will be welcomed with the glow of the roaring log fire and reflection from the candlelight, and lounges where you can relax and unwind at the end of the day.

Free WIFI in the hotel lounges ensure that regular connection with your Facebook and Internet connections are maintained.

We are proud to say that we are the most affordable stately home in the area.
