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.

Liked: Staff & service
The entrance was stinking with wine or some other foul smell which we couldn’t withstand. The beds were too small although it says double bed. Rest was good, the washrooms were clean and the towels as well.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
