Great central location with parking, just off the beaten track and a nice garden that badgers visit regularly.
Sadly the ground floor room I stayed in had no outside view. The tall window was opaque for privacy reasons but the top half could have been left to be able to see outside. Felt a little claustrophobic.
The proprietor was warm and friendly.
Booked just one night as a last minute getaway. Stayed in the Penthouse which has a large blacony with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom great. The beams are low at the edges of the room but we are both tall and managed to avoid them :) I would highly recommend this place and will be staying here again in the future.
We had a fabulous time and were looked after by the lovely Abbott family! The place is just off the main road, lovely and quiet. I would definitely go back!
Lovely location a couple of minutes walk to the village centre and the quirky pub restaurant affiliated to the guesthouse. Food was limited but fine and the staff lovely and attentive.
Made a nice change from the hotels we normally frequent in Grasmere. A minor issue would be the need for a shower attachment to the bath in the suite we stayed in. The garden was quiet and secluded where we enjoyed a bottle of champagne we brought with us as an aperitif before the meal. English breakfast in the morning at the pub was excellent and we came away with a bottle of Grasmere gin from the attached brewery. Whatโs not to like about this quiet hidden gem. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place for short break with our without the dog. Really dog friendly and extremely helpful host. Good food provided by local pub - excellent staff
Have just enjoys delightful no stress break in Lake View, was a wonderful place to unwind & forget the stress of working.
Thank you Richard for all your help
Lovely big room. Everything was thought of - in the conservatory area spare umbrella's blankets, maps, books, games, torches, walking sticks to borrow. We had a lovely stay.
we were on the ground floor, good that we didn't have to climb stairs, bur our window looked out onto the splendid conservatory, so for privacy the panes had been obscured. This meant the room felt claustrophobic. Excellent en-suite bathroom. No food served in the hotel so had a short walk to the co-owned pub on the main street. Thankfully it didn't rain. No lake view from ground level.
Great choice for Grasmere with dogs. Especially as you donโt pay extra for their stay. We stayed in The Cottage which was ideal for our short break. Will definitely book again.
This is a lovely place to stay, a truly ideal location just a minutes walk to the village but with plenty of free parking. Itโs a pretty building with character, but none of the creaky floorboards or questionable decor you often get with โcharacterโ buildings.
The bed was plenty comfy, the bedroom was uncluttered and the bathroom was spacious in the โLoftโ room.
It would have been truly ideal for us as a place to stay as a couple with no time pressures.
We had a toddler with us, and upon booking we were immediately offered a cot bed for her in the room which felt very attentive. Having a toddler in that room wasnโt very practical as there was nowhere to put anything out of reach, the doors didnโt have a lock or latch (on the inside or the room door or bathroom) and there wasnโt much spare space in that particular room.
The bathroom was attractively decorated and contained pleasant, sustainable toiletries but without a shower or shower attachment on the bath, getting ready took longer than normal.
Hot water was instant and plentiful at any time day or night. Room heating was great.
In short itโs ideal for couples, but wouldnโt comfortably fit more in.
We stayed in Penthouse which was fab! Beautiful views of the lake and had everything we needed. Was a little concerned as dog friendly that there may be a dog smell but needn't have worried the whole apartment was imaculate. I didnt realise we'd still have tea, coffee etc as we had our own kitchenette so was a lovely bonus. Banged my head a couple of times as lowered ceiling white so blends into the rest - no problem with the beams, so maybe just a different colour or an arrow would help. However it didn't detract from our wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!
