Summary: Beautiful location with large rooms looking over Grassmere lake. The decor is clean fresh with great choice of colours. Super king bed was very comfortable and room temperature perfect. The artwork on all the walls is enjoyable and like being in a private gallery. Staff were all very informative and friendly, Ronny in the restaurant was particularly great. The food choice for breakfast is plentiful and although dinner menu small the food is beautifully prepared and presented. My only personal comment is that it would have been nice to have included a side of vegetables in the price rather than as an extra. Housekeeping spot on. The spa is spacious with thermal pool ( not really for swimming) sauna and steam room . Lovely after a day of activities. The grounds are well maintained and terrace provides a sunny location to relax and enjoy the views, or if feeling active you can access the lake for a cold water dip or launch your kayak .
Ahmed Apr 25, 2026 11:03:32 PM
Summary: We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room and the entire property were exceptionally clean, and everything was well-organised and easily accessible. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. Our room view was truly magnificent, overlooking beautiful green scenery which made the experience even more special. Upon check-out, we were warmly greeted by Moses at reception. He was very friendly and professional, and kindly recommended some lovely places for us to visit before heading back to Liverpool. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we will definitely be visiting again.
Sophie Apr 25, 2026 12:51:28 AM
Summary: Brilliant stay. Lovely staff at breakfast and checkout. Very clean and quiet room. Stunning views and facilities. We were made to feel very welcome. So peaceful and relaxing. Would stay again!

Summary: Clean and friendly, lovely views and great location
Rachael Mar 31, 2026 01:19:28 AM
Summary: When we arrived the reception staff was so lovely. We were travelling with my 10 month old son and they were so kind and attentive to him. It was so appreciated. The room was great, nice big bed and a cot for my baby. I like that the shower was separate from the bath too. I used the spa. Sauna and steam room are great and the changing rooms were clean and well equipped
Christine Mar 12, 2026 11:15:52 PM
Summary: A lovely stay, didn't use the Spa. Had Dinner in the Hotel the first night, very disappointed with the choice and quality, so I wasn't looking forward to breakfast, but that was excellent, plenty of choice for all tastes.
Charlotte Mar 9, 2026 05:11:02 AM
Summary: The reception staff were so friendly and always happy to help. Lovely to have access to a small spa after a day of walking, nice hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room. Good range of drinks at the bar. Free parking is a bonus and location was great only a 10min walk from Grasmere and a bus stop close to the hotel to reach Ambleside, Keswick and Kendall. Only thing that really lets the place down is the stained carpets!
Lorraine Mar 5, 2026 03:37:05 AM
Summary: Spa was brilliant, really clean, smelt nice and staff so welcoming. Room spotless, quiet night sleep and nice little extras in room. Breakfast and dinner very nice, again staff very efficient and friendly.
Daniel Feb 11, 2026 01:09:10 PM
Summary: Fab welcome to the hotel, informative and polite. The room was a good size clean and bright. The hotel an grounds were just what we were looking for having a night away. Unfortunately, restaurant and food let the hotel down. Small things like theblack of a steak knife to being served the wrong steak overcooked. This didn't improve at breakfast, cold sausage, cold toat, cold hard bacon, cold eggs. Not what we expected from how well the restaurant had been described on the website. Lovely hotel great staff front of house, just eat somewhere else.
Charles Feb 8, 2026 10:08:30 PM
Summary: Yes but one bedside table needed attention but i think it was because they was rushiing to get us into our room a tad earlier but absolutely no complaints Staff extremely pleasant and good food as well
