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."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe ★★★★

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

"Dit is een hotel dicht bij het meergebied, dat behoort tot een familiehotel.  Het ontbijt en het diner zijn zeer goed, de hoeveelheid is ook groot, de prijs is ook relatief redelijk en de landschappen rondom zijn ook goed."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa ★★★★

The Ambleside Inn - the Inn Collection Group ★★★

"Nice hotel in the middle of the town. Only issue is if you are a traveller with huge luggage, it will be difficult to bring it up to your room"

The Traveller's Rest ★★★

"We gebruikten de kamers voor de reis naar de grisdale-tarna en we moesten naar een kamer om na de uitzichtscampagne te blijven. Ze lieten ons onze bagage opslaan in de kamer, terwijl onze check-in was om 03:00 uur. De kamers waren schoon en het uitzicht op een boerderij met veel schapen. De kamer had een esthetische look en er waren theezakken die we ook konden hebben. Het personeel was aardig en prachtig. De kamers hadden de Britse charme die je in oude Engelse films ziet. Als je van schapen, mensen, goede voedsel en 80 Britse esthetica houdt, dan is dit voor je."

Compston House B & B ★★★★

"This hotel is a gem although it has only 10 rooms. The host John is very friendly and helpful. The room is very clean and comfortable although it's not very big. The choice of breakfast spread are many and I like most is their homemade blueberry pancakes. Portion is very generous and we skipped lunch during our 2 nights stay there. Highly recommended!"

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels ★★★★

"The scenery is beautiful."

Lake View Country House ★★★★

"Beautiful, comfy, cosy, thoughtful. Not the cheapest place, but we'd highly recommend it. Unfortunately we missed the feeding of the badgers on the veranda at sunset - next time we'll try and arrive in time for this. The pub connected to the place has pretty good beer, too."
