"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."

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that was missing for us were washcloths. Maybe that’s not a thing in the UK. We asked for washcloths and they said that they don’t provide them."

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."

Juniper HAYLOFT, Grasmere

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little one up / one down with a lovely light airy bedroom upstairs and a nice kitchen/ living space downstairs. Quirky L shaped layout.... Segueued into the old buildings so the bedroom is not directly above the living space! Only disadvantage is toilet/shower room is downstairs too.. so a slight trek for any nighttime waterworks!"
