Top Grasmere Hotel Reviews

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with good food and friendly staff. Easy walking into Grasmere and ideal for catching local buses"

Crow How Country Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - private, quiet setting, with amazing views of hills/countryside. Location ideal for us; far enough out of town to be rural and peaceful, yet only a short 15/20 min walk from small town of Ambleside where there are lots of lovely shops, bars/pubs and restaurants to choose from. Welcoming staff. Beautiful house with period features (signs of wear/mould, expected due to size/ age) Fabulous gardens (some areas not accessible due to lack of maintenance) Large, well designed room with period furniture and huge bed. Comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. (Contemporary mirror didn’t quite fit with the rest of the furniture and maybe some artwork above the fireplace would finish it off well. Beautiful throw in wardrobe - I would show this off on bed as too pretty to put away) Quilt was thick so option of a sheet would have been nice, as it was hot during our stay, but thankful for the large fan provided. Great to have large fridge for cold drinks on hot days (on floor - would be easier to access if raised) No recycling bin. Bathroom very large, with huge jacuzzi bath and powerful shower- great to have towelling bathrobes, flannels, even cotton balls, provided. A chair in here would be a welcome finishing touch. Delicious breakfast, good quality local ingredients and great range of options. Criticisms above are well meant, and were very small things that didn't effect our stay, but may help improve future stays. Would definitely stay again."

Chestnut Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time in Grasmere staying at the Chestnut Villas . We were in the Silver Howe Room which was superb , we had a little patio area all to ourselves where we enjoyed our morning coffee whilst taking in the amazing views around us. Mike who owns the premises with his Mum takes so much pride in ensuring you have an enjoyable stay and it was so refreshing to meet someone with so much integrity as he has . The room was beautiful , clean and quiet and we didn’t want to leave. We will certainly be returning there again on our next visit to the Lakes."

Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."
