Beautiful room and exceptional view. Lovely breakfast.

Irene United Kingdom

Loved the little spa, which is very modern and you book a time slot. The food was outstanding and the dinner inclusive deals are worth it, you can choose 5 out of the 7 choices without a supplement. Breakfast is made to order too, no buffet. We enjoyed the fact you could choose where to sit, and as the hotel only has 30 rooms it was really relaxed. we had the deluxe room on the ground floor, room 5. I wouldn’t choose this type of room again, as the super king was 2 singles joined together with no mattress topper to disguise and the patio was shared by adjoining rooms, so in good weather they could see right into your room. I would stay again but would try for a first floor room and wouldn’t be too bothered about the grade, as the hotel has been refurbished anyway, and we the town and walks are so lovely, you don’t spend that much time in your room.

Rachel United Kingdom

Staff extremely friendly and went out of their way to help us. Room was upgraded which was a great surprise. A great location to explore Grassmere and the walks in surrounding area. Weather was perfect during our stay. Spa facilities consists of sauna aromatherapy room, jacuzzi and beds for relaxing. If you wanted a massage this had to be booked at a cost of about £60.00.

Anthony United Kingdom

staff are excellent- friendly,efficient and keen to ensure you enjoy your stay. Brilliant location for hiking. Food was delicious. Spa welcoming after day on the hills.

Page United Kingdom

We’ve been here approx 5-6 times, absolutely love the location and the facilities and it’s great that there’s a spa and it’s dog friendly. The ladies on the reception desk couldn’t have done more for us, they were extremely professional, helpful and friendly. Sorry I can’t remember their names! We’ve stayed at a few different hotels in Grasmere and this is by far the best one.

Curtis United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast, lots of choice, well cooked and beautifully presented. Plenty to keep you fuelled for a long walk. Excellent dinner menu and very good quality.

Madeleine United Kingdom

Great choice for breakfast and dinner. Food was excellent.

Wendy United Kingdom

Hotel staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Food in restaurant, breakfast and dinner, was exceptional. The Loughrigg room was very comfortable with a good view of the garden. Really enjoyed the lounge area in our room.

Nigel United Kingdom

The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially with a couple of small niggles in the room (broken lock and non-working tv remote) Enjoyed the spa facilities and the location / views are great.

John United Kingdom

Such a relaxing hotel in gorgeous surroundings. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We booked half board and found the food was beautifully cooked and presented.
