We very much enjoyed our two night stay that included an amazing hike that started right out front of the Inn. Our room was lovely but a tad noisey as the Inn is right on the road. It quiets down at night. We had realfast and dinner on site and all were delicious! A cozy spot very easily reached without a car.

The location was brilliant for visiting in and around Grasmere, a few minutes walk away. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The room was cosy and had everything needed. Had evening meal and breakfast - both fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Very rigid corporate rules, staff very polite

Stayed with dog for one night before doing a long distance walk over to ulswater. Wasn’t able to leave my car on car Park for an extra day till I could return for it. Had to buy a 3 day pass to park in grasmere at an additional cost of £20.20.Had to pay £10 extra for the dog which I didn’t mind paying but after paying full breakfast price for myself and only opting for a bowl porridge would even let me order an extra sausage for the dog.
