Great hotel

Lovely hotel with a young vibrant feel. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. The hotel is in a good central location for exploring the lake district.
Martin, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel had a lovely atmosphere with well chosen antique furniture. Staff were both helpful, polite and efficient. Happy to help with a last minute change of booking and also room change to allow us a quieter room on our last night. Breakfast was very good with a great range of cereals and fruit. The homemade fruit yoghurt was a nice surprise Locally sourced food was evident in the cooked breakfast. This is a great hotel handily located close to restaurants and shops.

A great break

A fantastic long weekend here. I received a great welcome as I arrived early and wanted to leave my car to go for a walk. Perfect room, just as described. Breakfast was very tasty, lots of choice and promptly served. I had my two spaniels with me and they were welcomed everywhere - sausages on offer at breakfast and kept them quiet.
A relaxing breakfast

8/10 Very good

Location was great, and our room was nicely furnished with a beautiful view. The bathroom was very well appointed. I didn't like that we had to reserve a specific time for breakfast.
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the handy location, our really spacious room, fluffy thick towels, lovely decor, plenty of tea, coffee & milk. Felt sorry for the lady trying to take breakfast orders, tidy & serve on her own, as they were short-staffed so there was a bit of a wait. We'll definitely be booking again next time we go to Grasmere. Thanks for a nice stay.

2 night break in Grasmere

We booked this place due to the great rating on this site. Wonderful staff. Lovely location. Beautiful room. We booked the stargazer suite and even though the skies did not co-operate the view was still stunning. Breakfast was delicious. There is a Co-op shop 3 doors down and a great restaurant 2 doors down. Would happily stay again!
