Self-catering in and around Grasmere in the English Lake District Self-catering accommodation (or vacation rentals as it is commonly referred to outside the UK) is usually let on a weekly basis during the main season, with 'change-over days' commonly being Saturdays. With self-catering, you can expect more independence but don't expect the same degree of attentive service that you'd get in a hotel or bed and breakfast. In Grasmere there are a number of properties which you can rent for a week at a time to serve as your base for a holiday in the Lake District, and sometimes for shorter periods out of the main tourist season.
