Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms felt like a small apartment and offered stunning views of the surrounding paddocks, hills, and a distant lake; however, the sloping roof added a cozy touch. The hotel's service was exceptional, with staff taking orders on personal mobile phones and demonstrating a high level of attentiveness and friendliness. The location was ideal, set just outside the main village of Grasmere, providing easy access to various walking trails and offering a peaceful setting away from evening noises. The dining experience was satisfying, with a nice selection of homemade products. Overall, a luxury boutique hotel that lived up to its reputation.
