Welcome to your guide to vegetarian hotels & accommodation in the Lake District

The two finest vegetarian establishments in the Lakes, in our opinion, are:
Lancrigg, a hotel near Grasmere where you can get superb vegetarian food and enjoy a night in a beautiful, quiet room, waking up to the birdsong and a view of the mountains which is pretty astounding!
Yewdale, a vegetarian house near Coniston/Hawkshead, with superb facilities and a wonderful ethos.
Details of both these properties are given below.

There are other hotels which offer vegetarian menus, and of course some hotels who seek to cash in on the vegetarian market by proclaiming themselves "Vegetarian friendly". Whether this is acceptable to you or not is of course a personal choice. There are no doubt many hotels and guest houses where you could stay if you just avoid the non-vegetarian food - but what we're trying to include here are establishments that put meaning into the term "vegetarian accommodation." We'd be really grateful for any feedback you can provide on these or other establishments. Meanwhile, we offer these accommodation options for you to consider....and you might also want to look at this website: Viva's guide to places to stay in the Lakes.

Vegetarian / Vegan / Vegetarian-friendly accommodation in the Central Lakes


Lancrigg Vegetarian Restuarant and Hotel, Grasmere, the Lake District, EnglandGrasmere - Lancrigg Vegetarian Hotel     Exclusively vegetarian

A delightful place to stay, summer or winter. I've been a couple of times, and I think the charming location, which is extremely peaceful and quiet, is one of its most important features - along with the sumptuous vegetarian food, which at its best surpasses anything you'll find elsewhere. The rooms and beds are variable in the level of luxury but there are some rooms with king sized beds and private spas, and everywhere is comfortable. The downstairs guest rooms, especially the lounge for sitting, tea and post-dinner drinks or games, are just superb. Highly recommended.
