Grasmere Hotels with Bars

Came up for a meet up with friends for some walking on the surrounding fells. Arrived about four and the carpark was full and like an ice rink. Waited a few minutes and thankfully some day walkers on their last day came and took their cars away. Checked in and happily I was in the main house. The rest of the group was already there and so it was odd for drinks and food. It's been a few years since I've been to this hostel as my Wainwright journey has had me in different areas. Looks like the communal areas have had a fresh paint job which has brightened up the building. Had breakfast twice which was excellent. Made my own on the last morning and the smaller kitchen was in desperate need of a mixing bowl. Other than that no issues. All in all a great stay and I look forward to another visit in March. Hopefully room 7 is my room again on that visit.

The location of the hotel is average. Have their own garden, the room is quite large, dinner should be booked in advance, asking for a window. Service is too good, 15 minutes walk from Lake Grasmere.

The hotel is old-fashioned and the breakfast variety is not rich enough. The hotel is on the side of the road and the car is noisy.

Booked this two night break in November 2021. Did originally have the Christmas break booked but due to ill health had to cancel. When we booked we picked a particular room as we had been the year before and liked that room. When we checked in were given a different room, when questioned were told can not have that room somebody has been in it for the last two nights. No choice but to accept the room. The room itself was very nice on first entering. When entering the bathroom found black mould around the front of the bath, not what I would expect when paying so much for the two nights. In the bedroom a dent in the wall, looked like somebody punched it! Wallpaper all scuffed in one corner. Dusting not carried out on items around the room and looked like it had not been done for sometime. The following day did speak to the Manager about the room change, he checked booking and room choice was on booking. Offered dinner and a bottle of wine, which was very nice. On returning to room and using the loo this then broke down. Reported this and was told somebody would be up to inspect. Went out for the day on returning to room loo still not fixed, not very good to have water running for over five hours. Reported again was then fixed. Following morning at 6.30pm loo broke again my Husband had to go down two floors to use the hotel ones. Reported again. We stayed at this Hotel last year and everything was perfect. We were so disappointed this time with the changed to the room and the state of the room. The staff in the Restaurant and bar area are all very good and these are the people that made the stay enjoyable for us this time. Sad to say we will not be retuning. Some people may think I am being picky about some of the things in this review but we paid over £600 for this two night break and we expect thing to be better than this.

1. Location, the hotel is just by the lake, but it is a 30-minute drive from Windermere, and it is far from the Lake District. 2. Some rooms can accommodate an extra bed, 15 pounds a day, including breakfast. 3, the hotel is large and has a lot of parking spaces. 4. The meal is great, classic English. 5, the hotel toiletries are good, is the British Royal Development Supplies MB, the bathroom's heating rack is open in the summer, the towel will be done overnight. Great

Absolutely perfect stay. We booked “Holly” a wonderful ground floor room, tastefully decorated and furnished with a comfy bed and small pine table and chairs. Really stylish modern large shower room. We’ve never taken our dog to stay in accommodation before but felt at ease straight away. There was enough room for his bed and we’d brought our own bed cover just in case he jumped on our bed, but there were fleeces rolled up ready to use for doggy guests. We own our own holiday let and know how much thought and effort goes into ensuring guests are comfortable and have an enjoyable time. I can safely say Lake View is perfect. We felt really welcomed, it was a lovely and warm, quiet and comfortable stay and we’ll definitely be back! As always we read previous reviews and have to admit having a chuckle at the negative ones for Lake View. Honestly it’s about 2 mins flat from the most delicious breakfast at the Sport Inn. We’d recommend you book a table in advance for an evening meal to avoid disappointment, easy to do online. There’s a parking space with the room which is brilliant considering how much parking is at a premium in the village. Do take advantage of the location for walks too, you won’t be disappointed. (Deleted our original review and reposted because somehow it had it as 4 stars not 5 and Lake View and it’s owners thoroughly deserve a 5)
