"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Top Dove Cottage Hotel Reviews

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"Met our expectations, lovely staff."

Chestnut Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time in Grasmere staying at the Chestnut Villas . We were in the Silver Howe Room which was superb , we had a little patio area all to ourselves where we enjoyed our morning coffee whilst taking in the amazing views around us. Mike who owns the premises with his Mum takes so much pride in ensuring you have an enjoyable stay and it was so refreshing to meet someone with so much integrity as he has . The room was beautiful , clean and quiet and we didn’t want to leave. We will certainly be returning there again on our next visit to the Lakes."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location for Ambleside and the lakes. Only minor points were car park was pretty tight and only 2 spaces that EVs could use of which one had a reserved car for a disabled driver (although next door sauce was marked for such cars). Lack of air con made room quite warm on what was a very hot weekend, however rooms were well appointed and spacious. Spa and gym were excellent and worth a visit, very clean too. Food for breakfast could not be faulted and nice to have a varied choice of fish too. Overall, highly recommended and good vfm too."

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay except that the bathroom was very small - hard to even dry off after a shower -- the space in the room was so tight. Parking was also challenging. Otherwise, lovely place with very pleasant staff. We were there during a heat wave, and a very nice staff person rounded up a fan for us. We were comfortable with the fan blowing on us all night (there is no AC but we didn't mind). The breakfast was excellent, including the vegetarian full English. Lovely outdoor seating area. Easy walk to the center of the village. I would definitely stay there again."
