Owners Alistair and Sally, and their staff, all locals, were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, they were interested in where we were visiting and were pleased to offer local knowledge. Everything about the Hotel showed it was very well-run. Everyone, including the morning bed-room staff, made an effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
Simple décor and furnishings; maintained and cleaned to a very high standard. The bar and dining room were very comfortable and welcoming. Our second floor twin room, with ensuite, was small but very well planned, exceptionally clean and lovely and warm on two very cold nights. The beds and bedding were good quality and comfortable. Car parking was good and very convenient.
Breakfast was fresh cooked and excellent. Two other couples we talked to said they’d enjoyed their evening meals there. We had a substantial lunch in Bath both days so regretted not wanting an evening meal.
As four star ‘guest accommodation’ (not a hotel) Grasmere easily met our expectations.
