We stayed at the Oak Bank from 30/12/11-02/01/12 for a 3 night New Year break. It is in a lovely location in Grasmere village with its pubs, tearooms and walks straight from the door. We arrived earlier than our check in time, but Simon showed us to our room without a problem. We thought the room was a little small... More

We stayed at this hotel between christmas and new year for two nights having booked after reading tripadvsor reviews. We were certainly not disapointed. Our room although slightly on the small side was beautifully furnished and decorated. A small caraffe of sherry was a lovely touch as were the nice toiletries in the bathroom. The food here is something else!... More

We booked 2 rooms for a 2 night stay between Christmas & New Year we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very comfortable although slightly on the small size but very clean with nice decor. The food was amazing, I can't remember having food of the oak banks standard anywhere for a long time. The service was excellent and... More

We were delayed on our way to Oak Bank but this was no problem, sandwiches were made for us without asking and because the proprietress felt sorry for us and our long journey she upgraded our room. Frankly we couldn't have asked for more with this hotel, the food was good, their local knowledge was excellent and they couldn't have... More

The Oak Bank Hotel was quite small and our room was too. But now I know that great things come in small packages. The friendliness, cleanliness and service was excellent. The food really was 'fine dining'. I can't remember staying anywhere else in the Lakes that has food to compare. It would be a real treat for anyone looking for... More

Yes we visited Oak Bank Hotel for a third time (this year) in October and as we have come to expect everything was better than first class! The whole experience is about comfort and being very well looked after by Glynis and Simon and their staff - nothing is too much trouble. I have said it before and will no... More

We met up with friends at Grasmere, for a 2-night stay at this hotel. From the minute you walk in, its warm and welcoming and you just know you're going to have a real chill-out! Coal fires, yummy food, great decor and attentive staff - a real gem of a place. I'd recommend that you take advantage of the dining-in... More

We have just returned from a weekend at the Oak Bank Hotel to celebrate my birthday. I have stayed at several locations in Grasmere and Oak Bank was one I always wanted to try. We had high expectations after the rave reviews on the trip advisor and I must say they were not exaggerated. We stayed in room 1, it... More

My girlfirend and I had never been to the Lakes before and had pretty much no clue as to where to stay. Grasmere as a location was highly recommended by friends, and we just figured that apart from eating and walking we wouldn't be doing much else during a weekend there. Seeing as though the walking bit comes free regardless... More
