“Enjoyed our stay at Riverville.”

Accommodation was very spacious and comfortable and in an excellent location. Only issue we had was with the outside stairs. Didn’t realise they were so steep and had difficulty carrying luggage in/out, particularly as it was raining the day we arrived. Also no information on disposal of waste so had to put everything in one bin??

“We (two 60+ couples) were very impressed with the apartment … really clean, very comfortable, loved the (easy) heating control … and enjoyed having plenty of hot water for baths and showers after a day walking!”

We had everything in the kitchen we could wish for (we cooked each night) … and all round, we loved it!

“Superb apartment with lovely views.”

Very central to Grasmere. Decorated lovely throughout and the kitchen is really well equipped. Could use a potato masher and a radio/music in the kitchen. But certainly would go back here. Loved every minute.

“This is the best holiday accommodation we've ever had in Grasmere (and we've been coming for more than 20 years).”

Beautiful place to stay. The window over the river is brilliant. The flat is warm and cosy, yet contemporary. Some of the kitchen equipment could do with updating (some sharp knives etc) and, as there is a dishwasher, a second set of knives and forks particularly would be good. We couldn't find instructions for the washing machine. The internet was dodgy in the lounge, but as I am from a very rural location myself, I understand the challenge of this! Overall a brilliant experience and we hope to be back!

“The key holder was quite difficult to undo maybe needs a nlittle adjustment”

“We’d been to Riverville before and loved it, couldn’t wait to get back for return visit.”

Property seemed even better second time around even though it was perfect first time. No complaints whatsoever, only comment to make is that wifi wasn’t up to streaming films on Netflix. This is just by way of information and consideration and did not spoil a perfect stay

“Not normally one to leave reviews, but I felt this was a rare exception.”

This flat is much bigger and nicer than it looked online. It was clean, well appointed, and in the most blissful location. Hearing the river babbling past your window was so peaceful and Grasmere is head and shoulders the nicest village in the Lakes (at least of those we visited). We were genuinely really impressed, and would definitely return.

- Jonathan, May 2021
Christopher April 2021

“This is probably the best location we’ve stayed at in the Lakes.”

Riverville is an excellent property in a delightful position next to the river. There are so many beautiful walks right on your doorstep. We would definitely stay here again

“Riverville is a little gem in Grasmere.”

Great location, high standard of accommodation, and the terrace is a lovely place to sit to watch the wildlife on the River Rothay.

“Totally brilliant venue.”

Best we’ve been to over many years. The window over the river is genius.

“Location was excellent- in the centre of everything yet cosy and away from it all when needed!”

The bedrooms and large en-suite to both bedrooms were great!

Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
