Staff are amazing at this place, I very rarely leave a tip but I did here!
Stayed with dog for one night before doing a long distance walk over to ulswater. Wasn’t able to leave my car on car
Park for an extra day till I could return for it. Had to buy a 3 day pass to park in grasmere at an additional cost of £20.20.Had to pay £10 extra for the dog which I didn’t mind paying but after paying full breakfast price for myself and only opting for a bowl porridge would even let me order an extra sausage for the dog.
Warm cosy room with great views. Fantastic breakfast and dinner the evening before in an atmospheric traditional pub. Great friendly staff and in a great location.
A nice bijou room tastefully decorated, comfortable and clean.
Would definitely stay again.
Breakfast was very good too.
We had an evening meal at night and would highly recommend booking ahead too.
This is a very welcoming hotel. Ample on site parking and super dog friendly. Everyone of the staff delivered a high standard of customer service. Food is excellent. We stayed in a standard sized room which was very clean and comfortable. I will return but next time I will go for a larger room as I found the standard sized room bathroom a bit small for my large size frame ( I’m over six feet tall. ).
