Though we encountered some hiccups with the water-heating unit, with help from Mike and his mum it worked out fine. They were very helpful and attentive to my every need, and went above and beyond in their efforts. I am so grateful.

I stayed in the Helm Crag room which has fantastic views of the surrounding hills. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the shower superb. The whole room is immaculate and super clean. I didn’t want to leave! The owner was very welcoming and helpful and easy to contact if you have any queries. I would recommend highly.

Would book again

Clean, comfortable and spacious. Lots of light in the room, access to the back yard from the large bathroom and a nice view of the fells from our window. Easy self check in. There's no breakfast on site but there's a tasty breakfast at Freda and Ray's cafe just a couple of minutes walk into Grasmere. Great location for lots of walks around Grasmere and I recommend the restaurant in walking distance called the Jumble Room.

Excellent

Right on the edge of Grasmere village, a maximum 10 minute walk. Suite was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Two pubs within walking distance, the best being the Travellers Rest, excellent food. One thing to note, no breakfast is included with this accommodation but you do get a discount at a good local 'cafe'.

Beautiful stay on the edge of Grassmere

The suite was very roomy with a modern bathroom and plenty of seating place, including the outside patio. Michael was a very pleasant host who couldn't do enough to make my stay a comfortable one. One notable highlight was the digital radio!
