Our evening meal was not good, but staff handled it ok.
Absolutely stunning location , lovely lovely staff and beautiful rooms , couldn’t have asked for a better stay ! Thank you to everyone there for making our trip very memorable
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.

Staff are amazing at this place, I very rarely leave a tip but I did here!
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.
Warm cosy room with great views. Fantastic breakfast and dinner the evening before in an atmospheric traditional pub. Great friendly staff and in a great location.
