located in Grasmere which is quite in the middle of Lake District . Situated at the edge of the village so it is rather quiet. nice garden and private stream. Breakfast is rich. Room is clean. enough parking.

Kathleen United Kingdom

The hotel location was excellent,the room (no. 27, on top floor) was very comfortable, clean and had pleasant views. The staff were all exceptional and made a point of greeting us, whenever we passed. The food, its presentation and service were superb. The Hotels consideration and adoption of measures to keep us all Covid- safe, were exceptional and we felt very well protected. The free and ample parking in an otherwise congested location was highly appreciated. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay there again. Peter and Colleen.

Amanda United Kingdom

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.
