Our fleet is well maintained, clean, and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant ride regardless of the distance.
Local Taxi Journeys
Need a quick lift into the village centre? Perhaps you are heading out for an evening meal at one of Grasmere’s fine restaurants and want to enjoy a glass of wine without worrying about driving. We provide prompt local taxi services for short trips within the village and to neighbouring towns like Ambleside, Windermere, and Keswick. Our drivers possess extensive local knowledge, meaning they know the quickest routes to get you where you need to be without delay.
Walker and Hiker Transfers
Grasmere is a world class destination for hiking. It serves as the starting point for famous routes such as the Fairfield Horseshoe and the ascent of Helm Crag. However, linear walks often present a logistical challenge. We offer dedicated drop off and pick up services for walkers. Park your car at your finish line and let us drive you to the start, or simply call us when you have descended from the fells and need a comfortable ride back to your hotel or B&B. We are accustomed to carrying hiking gear and muddy boots are never a problem when handled with care.
Wedding and Event Transport
The Lake District is a premier wedding destination, and Grasmere hosts many beautiful ceremonies at venues like The Wordsworth Hotel and The Daffodil Hotel. If you are a guest attending a wedding, reliability is key. We can arrange transport for you and your group to ensure you arrive at the church or reception venue on time and in style. We also offer late night collection services to ensure you get back to your accommodation safely after the celebrations have ended.
Airport Transfers from Grasmere
Starting or ending your holiday should be a relaxing experience, not a stressful one. Our specialist airport transfer service connects Grasmere with all major UK airports. Public transport from the Lakes to the airport can be disjointed and time consuming, often involving multiple changes and hauling luggage onto crowded trains. Our door to door service eliminates this hassle entirely.
We frequently cover routes to:
- Manchester Airport: The primary gateway for international travellers visiting the Lakes.
- Liverpool John Lennon Airport: A popular hub for European connections.
- Glasgow Airport: For those extending their travel into Scotland.
- Newcastle Airport: Serving the North East and beyond.
- Leeds Bradford Airport: Convenient for regional flights.
We monitor your flight status in real time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust our schedule accordingly so that your driver is waiting for you in arrivals when you land. There is no need to panic about missed connections or waiting in the rain for a bus. We provide a meet and greet service to help with your luggage and get you on the road to Grasmere as quickly as possible.
Train Station Connections
For many visitors, the journey to the Lake District begins by rail. The nearest railheads to Grasmere are Windermere Station and the mainline hub at Oxenholme Lake District. We provide reliable transfers between Grasmere and these key stations.
- Windermere Station Transfers: A short but scenic drive connects the station to Grasmere. Pre book your taxi to meet your train, and avoid the long queues at the station taxi rank.
- Oxenholme Lake District Transfers: If you are arriving on the West Coast Main Line from London or Glasgow, we can collect you directly from Oxenholme. This saves you the trouble of changing trains for the branch line and offers a faster, more direct route to your accommodation.
Exploring Grasmere and the Lake District
Grasmere is arguably the jewel in the crown of Cumbria. While the village itself is walkable, many of the area’s best attractions are spread out. Our taxi service allows you to create your own bespoke itinerary without being tied to bus timetables.
Literary Heritage Tours
Grasmere is synonymous with the Romantic poet William Wordsworth. We can transport you between his various homes and haunts.
- Dove Cottage: Visit the charming cottage where Wordsworth wrote his most famous poems.
- Rydal Mount: Just a short drive away, this was the poet’s family home for many years.
- St Oswald’s Church: Pay your respects at the Wordsworth family graves in the village churchyard.
Scenic Sightseeing
If walking isn’t your preference, you can still experience the majesty of the fells from the comfort of our vehicles. We can take you on scenic drives over Dunmail Raise towards Thirlmere and Keswick, or south towards the bustle of Bowness on Windermere. Ask our drivers for their recommendations; they live here and love to share hidden gems that you won’t find in the guidebooks.
Dining and Hospitality
Grasmere boasts an impressive culinary scene, ranging from the Michelin starred cuisine at The Forest Side to hearty pub grub at The Traveller’s Rest. Parking at these venues can be limited in peak season. Leave the car at your lodging and let us be your designated driver. We ensure you can enjoy the local ales and fine wines responsibly.
