Grasmere Hotels & Accommodations

Service is good, hotel food is good

1. Location, the hotel is just by the lake, but it is a 30-minute drive from Windermere, and it is far from the Lake District. 2. Some rooms can accommodate an extra bed, 15 pounds a day, including breakfast. 3, the hotel is large and has a lot of parking spaces. 4. The meal is great, classic English. 5, the hotel toiletries are good, is the British Royal Development Supplies MB, the bathroom's heating rack is open in the summer, the towel will be done overnight. Great

Booked this two night break in November 2021. Did originally have the Christmas break booked but due to ill health had to cancel. When we booked we picked a particular room as we had been the year before and liked that room. When we checked in were given a different room, when questioned were told can not have that room somebody has been in it for the last two nights. No choice but to accept the room. The room itself was very nice on first entering. When entering the bathroom found black mould around the front of the bath, not what I would expect when paying so much for the two nights. In the bedroom a dent in the wall, looked like somebody punched it! Wallpaper all scuffed in one corner. Dusting not carried out on items around the room and looked like it had not been done for sometime. The following day did speak to the Manager about the room change, he checked booking and room choice was on booking. Offered dinner and a bottle of wine, which was very nice. On returning to room and using the loo this then broke down. Reported this and was told somebody would be up to inspect. Went out for the day on returning to room loo still not fixed, not very good to have water running for over five hours. Reported again was then fixed. Following morning at 6.30pm loo broke again my Husband had to go down two floors to use the hotel ones. Reported again. We stayed at this Hotel last year and everything was perfect. We were so disappointed this time with the changed to the room and the state of the room. The staff in the Restaurant and bar area are all very good and these are the people that made the stay enjoyable for us this time. Sad to say we will not be retuning. Some people may think I am being picky about some of the things in this review but we paid over £600 for this two night break and we expect thing to be better than this.

The location of the hotel is average. Have their own garden, the room is quite large, dinner should be booked in advance, asking for a window. Service is too good, 15 minutes walk from Lake Grasmere.

Absolutely perfect stay. We booked “Holly” a wonderful ground floor room, tastefully decorated and furnished with a comfy bed and small pine table and chairs. Really stylish modern large shower room. We’ve never taken our dog to stay in accommodation before but felt at ease straight away. There was enough room for his bed and we’d brought our own bed cover just in case he jumped on our bed, but there were fleeces rolled up ready to use for doggy guests. We own our own holiday let and know how much thought and effort goes into ensuring guests are comfortable and have an enjoyable time. I can safely say Lake View is perfect. We felt really welcomed, it was a lovely and warm, quiet and comfortable stay and we’ll definitely be back! As always we read previous reviews and have to admit having a chuckle at the negative ones for Lake View. Honestly it’s about 2 mins flat from the most delicious breakfast at the Sport Inn. We’d recommend you book a table in advance for an evening meal to avoid disappointment, easy to do online. There’s a parking space with the room which is brilliant considering how much parking is at a premium in the village. Do take advantage of the location for walks too, you won’t be disappointed. (Deleted our original review and reposted because somehow it had it as 4 stars not 5 and Lake View and it’s owners thoroughly deserve a 5)

Excellent location, with easy access to Grasmere and all its amenities. Breakfast was mostly great, especially the cooked options, and staff were always friendly. Our room was on the top floor with stunning views and we found it clean and tidy. However, the large window and unconventional shape meant that closing the curtains fully was impossible, resulting in poor sleep quality; this seems like an oversight. Parking was quite tricky due to lack of spaces. Although staff were friendly, there seemed to be an overall air of disorganisation; the front desk is not constantly attended, and there is a lack of access to the seating area downstairs that has games and books, as it was mostly locked. Overall, it was a good stay.

Beautiful hotel and just a few minutes walk to shops,bars and restaurants. The room named the mews that we stayed in was outstanding. Lovely comfortable bed with very nice bedding and super comfy pillows. The room was huge and had a lovely outside area to sit and relax. Breakfast was very nice as was the setting of the dining room. Staff super friendly especially Emily on reception nothing to much trouble and she made you feel very welcome. Every hotel needs an Emily!! Can’t wait to return .

Our views on our visit to The Belsfield Hotel are rather mixed. It is an imposing and impressive building in a fantastic location overlooking the lake. Check in was good with all required information provided. Unfortunately upon entering our room ( room 30 ) we were disappointed as it was not as I expected. I had booked a suite as we have done several times at other hotels . Previously we have found a suite has consisted of a separate room for relaxing with the bedroom attached. On this occasion it was a larger bedroom with a sitting area and small table for two. The hotel’s website does state that a suite may , or may not , have a separate lounge area and so on this occasion I accepted we had drawn the short straw . No issues there . However the website also states the suites offer stunning views and a roll top bath . There was no roll top bath as promised, only an older standard plastic panelled bath. As we are planning on restyling our bathroom assessing a roll top bath in practice was one of the features that swayed our decision to stay here . With regard to the stunning views . When sitting at the table in our room having a coffee before breakfast our view was what appeared to be an old , derelict greenhouse / storage building . Not exactly an appealing view to begin your day . When I mentioned this at check out I was told by the member of staff that another company deals with the website description and so nothing to do with him . A rather strange and dismissive response and not the lasting impression you want when leaving the hotel . Overall the hotel is a very enjoyable place to visit with several areas to relax on the ground floor . Sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake was fantastic and would thoroughly recommend it . A special mention for Lucien who did a fantastic job of providing cocktails and was very knowledgeable and proficient in this . A credit to the hotel . The hotel has so many good points that may , for some , outweigh the negatives around the room but unsure if we would return or recommend.
