Very enjoyable, well priced escape to the heart of the Lake District
Pros:

Fantastic location in the heart of Grasmere. Very friendly staff and we enjoyed the swimming pool with our 6 month old son

Cons:

The parking is very limited; most of the time there were no spaces at all (some cars didn’t seem to move all week from the Monday - Friday we were there!).

Pros:

The location in Grasmere is wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The restaurant was a bit less good for evening food.

Cons:

Room was very warm due to (a) heating being on when I arrived even though weather was very good, and (b) sunny weather combined with lack of any means of cooling down. But that is probably standard for the Lake District. the Sunday evening of the bank holiday weekend there was a long wait for food in the bar. They really should serve pinot grigio much colder.

Rubbish
Pros:

Nothing at all , my holiday were ruined , all staff were blunt , no empathy for any disabled guests or elderly .
They were telling me that I should have read their terms and conditions properly.
See attached conditions the reason for my booking as pet friendly and facilities for disabled guests.

Cons:

We booked knowing its pet friendly, there were dogs everywhere but they would not allow our rescued pet parrot anywhere on their premises which was in the cage.
It says on your website , facilities for disabled person.
My sister is disabled, there was no consideration given at all, we have to carry her up the steps.

They say free parking. None was available no where near the premises,
We were sitting in the car till 6 pm and have to leave at 9 am .

Miserable

Staff friendly and reception and bar area lovely

Cons:

The room was just awful and not the one advertised in any shape or form it was dark and depressing and we actually couldn’t move to another one as they were full. We ended up going home which was really sad
