Great stay
Really nice hotel, full of character and a great location. Looking a little tired in places, food & service was good. we were lucky enough to be upgraded on arrival. Room was very nice with excellent views from the bay window.
The room we stayed in was very comfortable. The coffee machine was a treat! The restaurant was brilliant and both dinner and breakfast were very yummy.

Beautiful outlook, gorgeous room, helpful staff. Best place to stay in The Lakes. Bus goes right past if you want to visit other towns. Great walk around Lake Grasmere and Rydal at your doorstep. Loved it.

80th treat
Enjoyed our short stay very much. Unfortunately the spa area was not in use so couldn’t give five stars 🌟
Generally a lovely weekend, and felt homely and welcoming with staff. Weekend stop during New Year weekend.
Some aspects of the fixtures and fitting did look a little tired, but overall enjoyable

Fantastic location, our room was in the corridor to the rear of the property next lo the rear entrance which was a little noisy. Reasonable food and facilities, just felt a little dated in places, and not sure we’d give it 4 stars. That’s said we enjoyed our stay and none of the above spoiled our weekend.
Me and the wife had a really nice stay. Everything we needed was available to us. The room was nice. We really liked the garden seating area, very peaceful. We only had 1 issue during our stay, the breakfast service was unfortunately quite poor, we waited nearly 1 hour for breakfast, I asked the waitress after 45 mins and her response was we are really busy, yet we counted 4 people who came in after us who got there food before us, shame because everything else was great.

Great location in the heart of Grasmere. Easy parking. Good breakfast. Lovely new bathroom. The room itself and the restaurant and reception areas could do with a bit of an update which would make it fabulous. Maybe removing some carpets and having wooden floors would help.

Lovely place but one woman Catrina was amazing as she was left to do everything, check us in , run the pub and restaurant. The room was not very clean. I am handicap and it was hard to get around.

We were given a very friendly welcome to this lovely hotel situated in Grassmere Village, the hotel is set in beautifully tended gardens, which unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to use because of the weather. As we were visiting with our friends from New Zealand, we had booked two rooms, both of which were beautifully decorated, clean and spacious, with very comfortable bed. We had a supply of tea coffee and biscuits which were very much appreciated. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would like to say thank you for the upgrade we received. We would definitely recommend this hotel. The village of Grassmere is lovely with a variety of places to eat and quaint little shops, also it is a good point for visiting other areas in the Lake District.
It was trying to be more up market than it was. Particularly the kitchen. If you want to serve small elegant portions they need to be perfect, they were far from perfect. Other than that apart from being forgotton at dinner and left sitting there the staff were good.

We have stayed here a few times now.
I do think this time it felt more run down and is in need of a clean up and modernisation. On checkout we were informed that the new owners are doing this.
The room was clean but the bed linen needed a change.
The staff are lovely and the same ones remain and recognise us each time and make a real effort.
They did upgrade our room too,and it was for a special occasion so that was lovely.
Overall I felt the price we paid was quite expensive as the hotel needs a revamp, but location is brillint and it is the Lake District.
Staff amazing and would like to try it again when it reopens in a year or so.
Great location, nice spaces outside. Room and decor very shabby. Smelled. I needed anti histamine as made allergies play up. We avoided sitting on fabric of furniture as did not look clean. Bathroom was spotless. Breakfast had good choices from menu( which was included in price of room) .
Main issue hotel did not have a 5 star feel and was certainly not fabulous as rating on hotel. Com indicated
The hotel and room were good. The room was quiet and comfortable with a good bed and sufficient space. Wifi signal not good however, so had to use mobile data instead. The staff were helpful and attentive - when we could find them because there were too few. For this reason they can't answer the phone and group head office doesn't appear to respond to voice messages.
The food really let the place down. For "crusty bread" instead read "dried and tough bread" but no one came by at the right time to complain. Won't be back. Sorry.
