Just got back from a short break where we stayed at How Foot. We stayed in a standard room and expected something fairly basic, which would have been fine. Couldn't believe when we got to the room to find it huge, with a chaise longue and TV area aswell! The bath & shower room looked quite new, well-decorated, room was immaculate and we relaxed almost straightaway. Nice touches all around like fresh milk, 'white company' bathroom accessories and down duvet and fresh cotton sheets on the bed. Only - very minor - thing was that the bed was double and we are both tall and used to a huge bed but that was fine really, we could handle it!
The whole building was well-designed and set up for a B & B where you aren't herded or rushed around around, it felt quite personal. Very nicely decorated, it fit well with the age of the building.
Very helpful owners who went out of their way to make sure everyone had a good stay. They work hard, running the B & B and nearby Columbine restaurant between them. We ate at the Columbine and recommend it.
Breakfast next morning very nice, all fresh & quality ingredients with fresh coffee (a must for us coffee snobs). All in all very good value given the cost of staying at the lakes these days, we paid £72 a night per room with breakfast. We are very fussy about where we stay but we would go back there if we were to return to the Grasmere area and know we would enjoy it.
Room Tip: All of the rooms are big.
