Received a wonderful welcome and found a cosy seat next to the window and real fire. I enjoyed the steak menu set meal which was good value. The starter of Caesar salad was creative and full of flavour. For main I had salmon which was a good size but the vegetables were full of natural flavour and not over cooked.... More

Excellent stay, staff very welcoming and attentive. Evening meal very good with no pressure to upswell which is great these days. Breakfast was superb and set us up for a good 10 mile walk with no need to re fuel. I would not think twice about recommending to friends or family.

Having arrived here after staying in a similar priced hotel in Fort William I was very disappointed. Rooms were pokey but shower good and bed comfortable. Food was nothing to write home about.

Whilst I understand that you would've liked a larger room, please keep in mind that this is a seventeenth century inn and that the rooms are in keeping with the character of the building.

Great mini break in a perfect location! Kev and I would definitely stay here again. The room, food and staff were all great. Grasmere is a lovely village and an ideal location for other parts of the lakes.
