Close to local restaurants and shops, by the river and nice gardens

Great place to stay as a base for exploring around the lake district. Lovely hotel. Everything clean and staff were always helpful and friendly. Would recommended to anyone.

There is nothing to dislike.

This has to be one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Attention to detail is superb. Great location in the centre of Grasmere with parking. Staff, Juliet and Rhian were amazing. Friendly, helpful and professional. Room was stunning. The chef cooks an amazing breakfast. Lovely touch of beautiful scones, pastries, tea and coffee every afternoon, delicious. My favourite part was sitting out at the back, where two tables are situated over looking the river opposite the church. So beautiful and peaceful. Book this gem of hotel and experience it for yourself.

The rusty colour paintwork in our room was rather depressing but this is a personal comment and did not spoil our enjoyment of this lovely hotel.

Our room was on the ground floor right next to the river and looked out on the ducks! Breakfast was excellent - all freshly cooked. Coffee and pastries were freely available during the day which was a great bonus but a guilty treat! Staff were efficient and friendly. Lovely garden to sit out in during the day. We ate our evening meals in two nearby restaurants a short stroll away. Reserved parking for our room number.

The sister hotel ‘the inn’ has a restaurant which we went to, they were very short staffed meaning we had to wait a long time to be taken to our table and to order etc. not the fault of the staff but we wouldn’t go back to the inn.

Very peaceful but in the centre of Grasmere so great location, gorgeous room which was also spotlessly clean and huge comfortable bed! All staff so friendly and helpful - Rhian (sorry if spelt name wrong!) was so nice warm and welcoming, chef Gus (again sorry if name spelt wrong!) does incredible breakfasts. Loved the free afternoon tea which we took advantage of. We will definitely be returning.

Small point ... there is enough room in the bathroom to have installed a separate shower as well as a bat - instead of having it over the end of the bath. But this is really nitpicking!

Breakfast ... brilliant. Chef prepared the food using fresh ingredients, to order. Presented perfectly and delicious. The staff went above and beyond to welcome us and look after us during our stay - even ordering food in for us if we didn't feel like going out for the evening meal. The rooms were spotless and finished to a very high standard. And .. location was very convenient if you wanted to wander into the village on foot .. or drive over to the bigger towns like Windermere. We will definitely be back!

Room 302 only had a hand held shower over the bath, which was in the bedroom. I don’t know why there were glass panels in bathroom doors that allowed us to see whoever was using the toilet.

The location was perfect and breakfast and afternoon tea were appreciated.

We stayed one night. I don't think I've ever felt more welcome than in that hotel.

Nothing to dislike personally but doesn't have facilities for lunch or dinner but can order in takeaways from bigger, sister hotel in Grasmere. So many eating places nearby.

Love, love, love this hotel. Our go-to in Grasmere. Not big or fussy like other hotels but a small, different, intimate place, where you can make friends or be left alone. Lovely quiet gardens to relax in but on doorstep to lovely Grasmere itself.

Window in our room - 404 - was very low and faced straight on to the car park meaning everyone there could see directly into our room. No privacy. A voile curtain or blind would be a good idea.

Great location.

We weren't in the main hotel but as the weather was fine it wasn't too much of a problem Would have got wet going for breakfast .. .

Loved the new patio and garden

Stayed here a few years ago and gave a just above average rating. Whoever has bought and renovated the hotel has done a great job and turned what was a very average hotel into maybe one of the best. The staff where fantastic (Sarah & Juliette), location, not sure you can get much better (with private parking), breakfast was freshly cooked to order; there is 'free' tea/coffee and scones every (i think) afternoon and if you are lucky enough to be in the Lakes for the 48 hours a year it doesn't rain then there is a large private garden you can sit in and chill - just a great hotel to base yourself from whilst exploring the area.

Nothing all was great.

Fantastic location in a great village, particularly if you are visiting the south lakes. Some good intermediate and harder walks to enjoy. The staff at the hotel are very helpful, accommodating for all travellers needs and made the hotel a welcoming and enjoyable place.

Wonderful stay!! From the minute I arrived, the staff were welcoming and went out of their way to help. My room was well-equipped and had a beautiful view of the river. I wish I booked to stay longer.
