Location is fabulous.

Fabulous location, 5 minute walk from centre of Grasmere. Great rooms but bed and pillows very firm only downside. Some people may prefer that. Pub itself has a great menu and beer selection, plus a fabulous breakfast. Great value for money. Public transport all over local area from bus stop outside front door.

Everything about the stay was great, but was disappointed upon arrival to find that the room hadn’t been made whatsoever. Meaning waiting for a new room and the early checkout reduced our overall time there. If it wasn’t for this issue. It would of been overall perfect stay
