Everything about our stay was perfection!! The room was extremely comfortable and clean, with everything you need. The breakfast was incredible and the choice was great. But most importantly, the staff were so kind and helpful! Can’t fault anything about our stay!
This hotel is in a great location, close enough to walk to center of village but still quiet. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable, with a great view of the surrounding hills.,( we had the star gazer room ) Breakfast was excellent! Highly recommend!
We loved every part of our stay at Victorian House. From the helpful and friendly staff, clean room, great ensuite and, amazing breakfast each morning.
Excellent location into the town and also close to bus stops.
Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at Victorian House. Alex was a fabulous host and nothing was too much trouble. They accommodated us being vegan and gluten free at breakfast and oat milk in the room. There were also surprise balloons and a card in the room for my birthday and a free upgrade which was a wonderful surprise. We definitely recommend Victorian House and hope to stay again

Welcome cake on arrival, immaculately clean room, soft towels, comfortable bed, freshly made full Cumbrian breakfast, lovely friendly and efficient staff. Couldn’t fault it!
Our stay at Victorian House was really nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful and our room was very pleasing. The interiors of the house are beautifully curated and we particularly enjoyed being so well located with parking and the lovely breakfast we were served. The only thing that would improve the stay would be new tvs in the rooms but this is minor. We're very much looking forward to returning, excellent stay and great value for money.
The he Victorian House was a delight to stay in, the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were delicious and the rooms were lovely.
The property is on the edge of grasmere and is very conveniently located near shops, the bus stop and cafes etc.
Great hotel in a fantastic location. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and a great place to retire to after a day spent hiking. Breakfast was delicious.
We had a lovely 1 night stay at The Victorian House, it is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable with a lovely breakfast and very friendly, helpful staff, will be back
