Your on-suite toilet activities may be a bit embarrasing if you are uncomfortable in front of your partner. However there is the downstairs Living Room, somewhere you can pop too while your other half uses the wc. Also, and this has nothing to do with High Grassings, beware of the local roads - very narrow and your delivery vans will hussle you and zip around the local area at speed. Can be rather intimidating.

Beautiful location with views out over the hills. Nice to wake up in the morning with the sun streaming through the window and seeing the cows and sheep meandering around their fields. High Grassing also have their own peacock strutting its stuff and chickens, which make for entertaining viewing if you get to sit outside. Breakfast in the conservatory is excellent, a range of cereals, fruit, yoghurts and the option to have a full cooked breakfast as well. The bed is very comfortable and provides a good nights sleep. A very modern on suite bathroom, with large walk in shower and a large changing area. Downstairs is a sizeable communal living room with the conservatory leading off. A very pleasant stay and recommended to anyone wanting peace and quiet after a busy day in The Lakes. Ambleside is a 10 minute drive away, plenty of good restaurants or take-aways amongst the many Outdoor Activity Shops.

Narrow roads! Fortunately not busy and not too far from Ambleside.

The setting and the views are spectacular. Rolling hills of sheep and cows. The house is surrounded by well tended gardens and there are hens and a peacock. Rooms are of a good size and spotless. The hosts are friendly and amiable. Breakfast is superb.

We would have preferred to have a screen we could have pulled across the open plan bathroom some of the time.

Everything. View beyond expectations

Our room faced east, and while it had a gorgeous view, we could have used room darkening blinds for the bright mornings.

The host recommended a 10-mile walk from the property, and it was exceptional! Overall, this was an excellent location for hiking in the area. The host also provided pleasant extras such as a fire in the lounge on a chilly evening. Great breakfast. Good shower. Beautiful setting.

It may have been nice to see some pastries at breakfast, but I still really enjoyed the choice I had. There was nothing else I did not like. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to coming back in the future sometime.

The cooked breakfast was lovely and always well presented. The staff were always on hand in case you wanted any more beverages. The view was beautiful. I could see the mountains from far away and the chickens roaming the grounds. The room was lovely. It had coffee/ tea making facilities along with enough towels etc.

As a B&B for me this was just what I was looking for and there are enough pubs and restaurants not too far away by car for your evening meals. Fortunately the type of guests that would want to book here are probably quieter than the norm so noise from the other rooms is probably at a minimum in this nicely converted house.

Perfect if you like a non generic hotel type stay. Tucked away right along the winding undulating narrow roads this area offers quite near Coniston Water. A great view across the fields with a charming rural ambience matched by friendly non intrusive and considerate hosts. The rooms and guest areas feel very relaxed and homely.

High Grassings Country House is the perfect stay for visiting the Lake District. It’s in a peaceful location close to some beautiful villages and towns. Dave couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly and gave us so many tips for local eateries, walks and things to do. The views from the bedroom are stunning, the whole place is spotlessly clean and we had a very comfy night sleep. I couldn’t have asked for any more and will definitely visit again! The breakfast was also delicious, thanks so much Dave!
