“A disappointing stay.”

Very nice location and very friendly reception staff. Room was clean and had a lovely view of the lake. (Although smelled of cigarettes, which I reported and they did offer to move us, but I explained I just did not want them to think it was us. We are non smokers) We had dinner in the restaurant… lisää

Very nice location and very friendly reception staff. Room was clean and had a lovely view of the lake. (Although smelled of cigarettes, which I reported and they did offer to move us, but I explained I just did not want them to think it was us. We are non smokers) We had dinner in the restaurant, which was very nice. The breakfast was very disappointing, probably the worst ever in a 4 star hotel. We were told to find a member of staff, if we wanted something off the menu! No staff came to the table, so I found a member of staff and asked for porridge for my husband, I asked could I have it with maple syrup, rather than honey and fruit. If came with fruit, no maple syrup or honey and was cold, hence it was not eaten. There was bread, but no cheese, ham, smoked salmon or anything for a continental breakfast, only jam, marmalade. At a cost over £400 for a one night stay, bed and breakfast this was very disappointing. Afraid we will not be returning.

“Stunning location, disappointing attention to detail”

The hotel could not be situated in a more idyllic spot on the shores of Grasmere and externally, the Victorian building is beautiful. Inside the building, it feels somewhat as through the soul has been ripped out of the building however: pretty much none of the original features or character remain… lisää

The hotel could not be situated in a more idyllic spot on the shores of Grasmere and externally, the Victorian building is beautiful. Inside the building, it feels somewhat as through the soul has been ripped out of the building however: pretty much none of the original features or character remain, which is a shame. We'd booked a Valley View Superior room. The size of the room was great and the views of the fells from the dual aspect full-length French windows with Juliet balconies were absolutely stunning... however... the windows themselves were absolutely filthy, looking as though they hadn't been cleaned for a significant amount of time, which completely spoiled the beautiful views which are surely the main selling point of the room. This is really disappointing for a supposedly 4 star hotel and a detail which should not have been overlooked. The room was also not as clean as we would have liked and the ensuite could have done with updating. I raised the issue of the windows 3 times during our stay: shortly after we arrived, on our 2nd day and on checkout. Needless to say, the issue wasn't put right, the windows were not cleaned during our stay and we didn't feel that the staff considered this to be an issue worthy of escalating or making right for us. Again, this is extremely poor service for a 4 star hotel with fairly hefty prices. In addition, on our final morning, I ordered pancakes from the kitchen for breakfast and they never arrived. After waiting over 20 minutes and my partner having finished his breakfast, I just gave up and had a muffin from the buffet. All in all, the hotel feels lacking in terms of maintenance, service and attention to detail. The location could not be better but the hotel really needs to focus on attention to detail to be worthy of 4 star status as they cannot rest on their laurels of the breath taking location alone.
