Important information:

For the comfort of other diners, the hotel requests that children under 5 years do not dine in the restaurant in the evening.

Please be aware that if the main hotel is fully booked, a room will be reserved for you in Rillside Lodge which is located in the same grounds. The Lodge is located just 50 yards from the main hotel reception with its own private parking and can be accessed via the hotel gardens on foot or via the road running alongside the hotel by car. The only difference between the lodge and the hotel is that guests come across to the hotel for meals.

Only 2 rooms are suitable for wheelchair access or for those with mobility issues. To confirm a suitable room, please contact Booking.com Customer Service prior to booking.

Please be aware that it may not always be possible to accommodate you in the same bedroom if you have reserved multiple nights and therefore a room move may be unavoidable. If you have any queries regarding potential room moves, please contact Booking.com customer service.

Please note that this property operates a strict no smoking policy.

Delightful hotel with very friendly staff, lovely views and a great location.
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely as was the evening meal we had there.The location was excellent right in Grasmere itself. There were łbeautiful views all round the hotel. The staff were exceptional, friendly and helpful at all times.ł

Cons:

Huge numbers of decorative cushions on the bed look ‘nice’ but clutter up the room when not in use.
The ‘duvet’ was too warm but this is always the case in hotels - the lightweight synthetic bedcover always seems too warm. A cotton sheet would have sufficed .

Stunning hotel and location - will be back.
Pros:

10/10 for location — the views were amazing from nearly every direction. The rooms and social areas were decorated to a very high standard, and the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. We had a very relaxing stay.

Cons:

Not much we did not like. More fruit selection for breakfast, maybe replacing the items that had run out on the continential breakfast. Breakfast to order made up for this. Drinks and snacks were on the expensive side, £5 for a san pelligrino is a tad steep.
