Top Grasmere Lake & Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a find! It was great. Now don't be deceived by its address. It is not in Ambleside. It's a few miles to the west on the narrow, winding B5343, beyond Skelwith Bridge and the old slate mining village of Chapel Stile. This road comes to a dead end in the Langdales a few miles from the hotel. There's an old 19th century Ordnance Survey map on the wall of the breakfast room which identifies 'Robinson place' which I think was this building, previously a farm. Anyway, it has been sympathetically restored to welcome visitors, both car drivers like us and plenty of hikers and cyclists. My room had large windows on two walls, with beautiful views of mountains, grass and sheep."

Crow How Country Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - private, quiet setting, with amazing views of hills/countryside. Location ideal for us; far enough out of town to be rural and peaceful, yet only a short 15/20 min walk from small town of Ambleside where there are lots of lovely shops, bars/pubs and restaurants to choose from. Welcoming staff. Beautiful house with period features (signs of wear/mould, expected due to size/ age) Fabulous gardens (some areas not accessible due to lack of maintenance) Large, well designed room with period furniture and huge bed. Comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. (Contemporary mirror didn’t quite fit with the rest of the furniture and maybe some artwork above the fireplace would finish it off well. Beautiful throw in wardrobe - I would show this off on bed as too pretty to put away) Quilt was thick so option of a sheet would have been nice, as it was hot during our stay, but thankful for the large fan provided. Great to have large fridge for cold drinks on hot days (on floor - would be easier to access if raised) No recycling bin. Bathroom very large, with huge jacuzzi bath and powerful shower- great to have towelling bathrobes, flannels, even cotton balls, provided. A chair in here would be a welcome finishing touch. Delicious breakfast, good quality local ingredients and great range of options. Criticisms above are well meant, and were very small things that didn't effect our stay, but may help improve future stays. Would definitely stay again."

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."
