Perfect location and beautiful setting. The pub was lovely and it was a great spot to hike from. We didn’t use our car during our stay. You could order off the menu for breakfast which was great. We would definitely stay here again

Cons: Non responsive to messages. We requested for an early check in- no response. We asked up to make up twin beds in one of our rooms, no response. Check in was also not the smoothest. We were just handed the keys and left to find our own rooms in a maze of a hotel. Would be nice if they had a dedicated check in desk and help with luggage etc and advise on where to park and how to access your room. Pros: The hotel was lovely and rooms were comfortable. Location was idyllic as well, surrounded by hills and farms and easy walk to Grasmere Village. Staff in the dining rooms/ bar was great as well.

Food and atmosphere in the.pub was good. Room was very hot, 0nly a small window so very little air. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable. Room difficult to find and not much help from colleague I asked.

When can I come back!

Amazing stay! Clean and with some history too. Excellent location to all places we visited. Staff were really helpful when needed & pleasant. Food was a bit out of our budget but we did eat here & you can see why the quality of food was impeccable. When can we come back?

Location is fabulous.

Fabulous location, 5 minute walk from centre of Grasmere. Great rooms but bed and pillows very firm only downside. Some people may prefer that. Pub itself has a great menu and beer selection, plus a fabulous breakfast. Great value for money. Public transport all over local area from bus stop outside front door.

Everything about the stay was great, but was disappointed upon arrival to find that the room hadn’t been made whatsoever. Meaning waiting for a new room and the early checkout reduced our overall time there. If it wasn’t for this issue. It would of been overall perfect stay
