Overall a bit average. The bathroom in the room was very old and could do with a revamp.
Pros:

The breakfast was fine, pretty standard.

Cons:

Very disappointing that the bar in the lounge was not open in the night time. It was very limited times

Pros:

Very helpful at check in, they allowed us to store our e bikes

Cons:

The evening meal and experience wasn't pleasant.
The gammon had a taste of beibg burnt , served with a cold tomato and mushroom.
The Salmon was dry and tasteless.
The pastry was hard on the desert, we told the waitress who said she would tell the chef.
Which was the last we heard of it.
Expensive meal and not enjoyable, would not recommend or go back.

A very good start with a very disappointing finish
Pros:

The location was perfect as it was just outside the centre of grasmere and there was plenty of parking for residents when we arrived. Our first room was very comfortable, especially the bed and we were extremely happy until we tried to have a shower and had no hot water. The breakfast options were also really good. The staff were really polite and helpful, doing their best to help, especially with the water situation, but it was disappointing we didn’t get to speak to a manager when we checked out, especially after what had happened.

Cons:

There was no hot water in the suite we paid for (Beatrix) so we had to be moved to a smaller room (Dorothy) which wasn’t anywhere near the same standard. The new room, although prepped, hadn’t been fully cleaned as there were cobwebs all over the ceiling. The plug hole in the shower was also very dirty and blocked and there was mould in the corner of the shower. We were put on the bottom floor, next door to the kitchen and next door to the managers office which was very loud during service until just past 11pm. I understand this move couldn’t be helped in the circumstances but it affected our stay as we booked a much nicer room for a birthday treat.

Grasmere Hotel
Pros:

Quiet location.

Cons:

I had a room in the top floor and I think the hot water had difficulty reaching up there as I had a tepid shower and the water from the hot tap was tepid.
