subject: Rothay Garden Is Located In Grasmere: Home To William Wordsworth [print this page] There are many good Lake District hotels to choose from. But Rothay Garden really does stand out. "An oasis of luxury on the edge of Grasmere" said the Nottingham Evening Post. Rothay Garden provides the comfort, quality and peace and quiet that people are looking for. Many guests choose to stay two or three times a year in the Luxury Lake District Hotel, taking the chance to see the Lake District in different seasons, and to enjoy the comfort and excellent food that marks the difference between a simple break away from home and a memorable holiday to treasure.
The Grasmere Hotel is nestled within the beautiful village that has withstood the test of time and still holds onto its own individual charm and character. Grasmere was the home to the poet William Wordsworth for many years and the public can now view his former homes; Rydal Mount and Dove Cottage and tour around the fascinating museum. Visitors are also interested to visit St. Oswalds Church, which is home to the Wordsworth family graves. The surrounding area is noted for its beautiful, tranquil scenery and there are many delightful walks, which inspired much of Wordsworths best works, he described the area as "the loveliest spot that man hath ever found".
There are many hotels in the Lake District but staying at Rothay Garden means you are in the right place to visit the Grasmere Festival of Stars which takes place on the last weekend in November every year. The residents attempt to re-create William Wordsworth's description of their village in the poem Home at Grasmere. This is done by filling the village with stars of all different shapes and sizes. It is a spectacular sight not to be missed.
Within Grasmere there are also a variety of outdoor pursuit shops, a famous Grasmere Ginger Bread shop and several galleries. There are many things to see and do around the village with so many famous and picturesque walks which encircle the vale of Grasmere. The area is a veritable paradise for experienced as well as novice walkers! Loughrigg Terrace, Easedale Tarn, Alcock Tarn, Helm Crag and the Coffin Trail are just a few of the better known shorter routes. Major climbs such as Helvellyn, Langdale Pikes, Fairfield Horsehoe and High Street are accessible without using your car, and famous peaks such as Coniston Old Man & Skiddaw are just a short drive away.
Grasmere is ideally located within the Lake District so that every valley may be explored, with just a short journey from the Luxury Lake District Hotel that is Rothay Garden.
