The room was quiet even though it was at the front of the hotel. The food at the meal the night before the wedding and... More

Booked a 2nights stay through secret escapes to celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary. The hotel upgraded us, arranged for flowers and champagne upon arrival all for a reasonable extra cost. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful for the duration of or stay. Our room overlooked the gardens and was delightfully furnished with new modern furniture, providing... More

We stayed 3 nights on half board room 28, a Grasmere Village View room. It is a good size room with a very comfortable king size bed. The bathroom is excellent. However, the bedroom was let down by a lot of creaky and loose floor boards (need fixing) and the carpet had seen better days (clean or replace). Some ceiling... More

Our ruby wedding anniversary celebration with friends was most enjoyable helped by amazing weather for the beginning of JUNE. The staff are extremely attentive, the food is second to none. We were a little disappointed with our room as it was small and only had a view of the decorators working on an outbuilding, despite our family asking for an... More

Lovely hotel in my favourite lakeland village. Homely comfortable sitting rooms with board games to play if you so desire. Food great, charming service, lovely gardens although weather precluded us making use of them. Don't forget to take the code to get back into the changing rooms and pool if you use the sauna! Not great having to go out... More

Stayed for 1 night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were lovely, rooms fab and breakfast tasty. The pillows and bedding are the softest I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping on. The gardens are beautiful, and sitting in them in the sunshine having a few beers made my weekend. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful hotel.
