The Traveller's Rest ★★★

📍 The Traveller's Rest, Grasmere

"We used the travellers inn as we wanted to see the grisdale tarn and we needed to a room to stay after the sight. They allowed us to store our luggage at the inn as our check in was at 3pm. The rooms were clean and it overlooked a farm area with lots of sheep. The room had an aesthetic look and there was tea satchets we could have as well. The staff were kind and wonderful. The rooms had the britain charm you see in old english movies. If you love sheeps, kind people, good food and 80's british aesthetics- then this place is just for you. We loved our stay here."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe ★★★★

📍 Easedale Rd, Ambleside, Grasmere

"I stayed at YHA Grasmere for one night as a solo traveller while exploring the Lake District, and overall I had a good experience. One of the hostel's biggest strengths is its location. It's surrounded by beautiful countryside in a quiet setting, yet it's only a short walk from the centre of Grasmere. The village has several lovely cafés, independent shops and the famous Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. There's also a bus stop about 200 metres away, which is very convenient if you're travelling without a car. The hostel also has a camping area, making it a good option for different types of travellers. The reception staff were friendly and efficient, and I found the information leaflets around the hostel especially helpful. They provide plenty of ideas for walks, attractions and activities in the surrounding area, which is useful if you're visiting for the first time. I stayed in an 8-bed female dorm. The room was spacious and included a sink and mirror, which made getting ready much easier. There were lockers available for some luggage, although not enough for every guest. I added the breakfast buffet (around £12) and really enjoyed it. There was a good selection of hot and cold options, including a traditional English breakfast, croissants (plain and chocolate), muffins, yoghurt, granola, jams, juices, tea and coffee. It was a great way to start a day of hiking. The bathrooms were the only part of my stay that didn't quite meet the same standard as the rest of the hostel. The toilets were slow to flush, there was an unpleasant smell at times, and the shower cubicles didn't have shelves for soap or shampoo, so everything had to be placed on the floor, which wasn't always as clean as I would have liked. One important tip for future visitors is to download offline maps before arriving. Mobile signal becomes very limited just before the hostel and is unreliable throughout much of the surrounding area. Fortunately, the hostel provides free Wi-Fi in the communal areas, so it's easy to check the weather, plan hikes or download maps before setting off. Just bear in mind that Wi-Fi coverage in the bedrooms is likely to be limited. Overall, I would recommend YHA Grasmere to travellers looking for a peaceful base close to nature while still being within easy walking distance of one of the Lake District's most charming villages. The location and breakfast were definitely the highlights of my stay."

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa ★★★★

📍 By The Lake, Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"The hotel is in a great location, very close to the lake. The lake view rooms have views of the lake, and the restaurant's window seats also have views of the lake. The overall feeling is good."

8.6 (97 reviews)

The Swan at Grasmere- the Inn Collection Group ★★★★

📍 Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"This is a hotel very close to the lake area and belongs to a family hotel.  Breakfast and dinner are very good, the amount is also very large, the price is relatively reasonable, and the surrounding scenery is not bad."

Heidi's Grasmere Lodge ★★★★

📍 Red Lion Square, Grasmere

"Lovely little B&B. Rooms cosy and well-appointed, great shower. Centrally located but not noisy. Mattress was a bit soft for my liking but a minor point. Great breakfast, great pub next door for dinner. Would definitely stay again. Easy check-in."

Moss Grove Organic
9.1 (57 reviews)

Moss Grove Organic ★★★★★

📍 Ambleside, Grasmere

"We stayed in room 11 and were really pleased with the room. It was spacious with a comfortable bed. The place was spotless throughout and had a laid back feel, which we liked. The bathroom was luxurious with a shower and a separate spa bath. Again spotless however the glass door to the bathroom wasn’t ideal, leaving us with no privacy. The location is stunning and central to the village and handy for the shops and cafes etc and we could come and go as we pleased. On arrival we were greeted by whom I can only assume is the manager, slightly eccentric but a nice man. Check in was a bit rushed but we were fine with that. The only negatives really was that it would have been nice to have an iron in the room. I did ask for one but it never arrived. I realise it’s not a hotel but not everyone who stays are hikers. The spiral stairs to the top floor, where we were are way too steep. We are in our 50s and we struggled. There were elderly people in rooms next to us so I don’t know how they managed. They could do with a lift if it were possible. Parking isn’t great. Breakfast was a bit awkward, we are both vegan and we went elsewhere the first morning but we were told that if we got to the kitchen at 9.40 the next morning , there would be vegan sausages waiting for us. We got there on time only to discover we had been forgotten about. The manager did his best but we had to wait and it was a bit uncomfortable and ended up with 2 sausages and some beans. No vegan butter etc. A bit of extra thought would go a long way. We were booked to stay for 2 nights and asked if we could stay a third but unfortunately they couldn’t accommodate us and we booked in to the Wordsworth Hotel next door. What a mistake that was, not a patch on the Moss Grove. We would have crawled back on our knees if they could have taken us back! Regardless of everything, it was a lovely place, with a relaxed and friendly vibe,clean, spacious and we would love to go there again one day."

Lake View Country House
9.3 (45 reviews)

Lake View Country House ★★★★

📍 Lake View Drive, Grasmere

"Really lovely accommodation - pet-friendly but spotlessly clean. Well equipped room (ours had a kitchenette) and very well appointed bathroom. Location is great for walking and access into Grasmere whilst being really quiet - right on the edge of the village. Many thanks for a lovely couple of nights."

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa ★★★★
"This is the third hotel I've stayed at in the Lake District. Overall, I'm satisfied, especially with the surroundings. The decor isn't luxurious, and the lobby and restaurant are relatively simple. However, the hotel faces Lake Grasmrer, offering beautiful views and a quiet, secluded feel. I booked a lake-view room, but a large tree blocked the window, which was a bit disappointing. The hotel restaurant is a bit on the high side, offering a slightly lower value than the other two restaurants I've stayed at."

"We have tried every cafe in Grassmere but Heidi's excelled them all. Emma Craig and staff were so very friendly. Delicious breakfast with great choice to pick from but we've got to say the cafe is second to none for the centre of grassmere if I could give 6 stars I would. we would recommend Heidi's to anyone"

Lake View Country House ★★★★
"Two night stay over New Year with our two young dogs. The Lake View was a perfect option - great location just a couple of minutes walk to Grasmere Centre. Breakfast taken at the Good Sport with the same owners, very helpful staff and good quality breakfast options. The Lake View itself had everything you could want for a relaxing peaceful staff. The management was hands off/off site I.e. everything: keys, additional towels, blankets, cofffee tea supplies etc available to take as needed. Communication and information all to hand. Contact numbers and all clearly to hand. Finally, everything needed for a ‘doggy stay’ was thought of.m and completely de-stressed."
