    The hotel was excellent, clean, quiet and a great location on the edge of Grasmere village. The rooms were very spacious, with the bed being probably the most comfortable hotel bed we have stayed in. Food, both breakfast and dinner was delicious and all the staff very attentive, would highly recommend a stay. Looking forward to our next visit already.

    Great location. Straight out of the front door for Easdale Tarn and Helm Crag walks or walks around Rydal and Grasmere lakes. The staff were lovely. Dinner was excellent. We were upgraded to a larger room - which was great and had a huge bathroom - with bath as well as shower, ideal to relax in after a long hike. It was warm throughout the hotel, which was good because it was snow outside. This is a good place to stay.
