9. Riverbank

0.3 km from Helm Crag

"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 Helm Crag Hotel Reviews

Moss Grove Organic

10/10 Excellent

"Moss Grove is a fantastic B&B in the heart of Grasmere. The staff were wonderful—their “we’ll do everything we can for our guests” attitude really made our stay. The hot tub photos seen during booking however, gave us the wrong impression. It’s exclusively for the suite, with no access for other guests. We brought our bathing suits, only for them to spend the entire stay in our suitcase. A massive disappointment. What did I like…the staff!!! Breakfast and location. What didn’t I like? The hot tub we couldn’t use and the price we paid for a hub tub we didn’t have access to."

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Victorian house. Would definitely consider staying again if we return to the Lake District. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel was beautifully decorated. Our little dog also enjoyed her holiday, mainly because of the sausages at breakfast! The Cake available in reception was a lovely touch."

Beck Allans Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and a fantastic location. Friendly hosts highly recommend"

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay Highly recommended and intend to stay again next year"

The Britannia Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food."

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, very relaxing and quaint. The only problem with the weekend was actually locating the property, the post code isn't recognised and the property really is in the woods, none of the locals had heard of it when we asked at pubs / shops etc. A hard copy in the post with few a photos of landmarks en-route (pub, car parks, entrance to country lanes etc) to form a pictorial guide would help tremendously. Note the mobile reception in the area is quite iffy, print off all the instructions given by Sue the host.Also, when using the Vrbo app, the number / link given to contact the host said not recognized. All the above taken into consideration, the property and area really are worth a visit."

The Langdale Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing hotel. Gary gave the smoothest check in ever. Amy in Stove was incredibly hospitable and was one of the reasons our stay was so good. The spa was fantastic."

2 bedroom accommodation in Chapel Stile, near Ambleside

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely cottage. Well equipped. Great walking from the door. We will definitely look to book again when we next visit."

22 Thrang Brow - 3 Bedroom Holiday Home - Langdale Valley

8/10 Good

"The location was great. The house had plenty of space and was warm on a very wintery long weekend.There was one minor niggle and one fairly major one that would have been a lot worse if staying more than 3 nights:Minor - kitchen bin life would not close - common issue with the type of bin, probably just needs replacing.Major - hot water - the red light above the economy 7 switch for the overnight hot water was not on when switched on and there was no hot water in the morning. Using the daytime override did produce hot water but even if left a long while there was never enough for a full shower (even a fairly quick one).Those issues aside it was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our time there."
