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

📍 Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"Superb hotel, the clerk is very warm and friendly, you feel very warm, the environment is very beautiful, the room is very large in the UK is rare. The breakfast was quite rich and I ordered a full English breakfast on the 1st. Parking is sufficient and free parking."

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 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."

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa
8.7 (108 reviews)

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa ★★★★

📍 By The Lake, Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"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."

Heidi's Grasmere Lodge ★★★★

📍 Red Lion Square, Grasmere

"Another fabulous stay, room 3 on this visit which did state no view but we had the view of tweedies gardens which is better than a Brick wall in my opinion, we always enjoy our stay here and have already booked to return in August. The staff are so lovely especially Craig we love to have a catch up with him on all our visits. Breakfast top-notch too. A must visit in our book."

Lake View Country House

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."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe ★★★★
"I booked this a few weeks ago and read the many excellent reviews and some of the less than fantastic ones too. The bad nearly outweighed the good when making my decision. However, due to its location being perfect for my needs I booked. I am sitting at dining table now within the hostel and all I can say is that the people who left poor reviews could only have been expecting the Hilton. This place is absolutely fantastic in every way, it has everything anybody could ever need, the showers are piping hot, its clean, its not modern but this isnt London. The food is lovely and very reasonable. I will definitely endorse my review as 100% I cannot find fault. Well done Team 👏"

Heidi's Grasmere Lodge ★★★★
"We stayed in room 1 in Heidi’s which was a large room with an excellent en suite. The room was very clean and well laid out with everything catered for that you could need. Outside was a large balcony with a table and chairs overlooking the centre of the village. No parking is provided but there is plenty of parking nearby if you get there early enough. We used the ringgo app to pay for parking which was really simple to use and we parked directly behind the lodge. The hearty breakfast was superb in the cafe below setting us up well for the day. Craig was a fantastic host and the staff were excellent all round with lots of advice and local knowledge whilst making our stay feel very homely. We would highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely return. G&T"

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."

"We were given 2 free nights at the hotel due to a bad experience last year when my daughter cut her foot open on glass in the hot-tub in the 'suite' room!! We were there for 60th birthday celebrations which were pretty much ruined by this oversight in housekeeping. The suite room was ridiculously overpriced as the room was exceptionally dated, with decor and carpets that were well past the need for an update. The hot tub is in a dingy space out of the back of the room with a chipped old bistro set as furniture. We explained, as we were just outside the voucher window that this was due to ill health in the family and this was our first opportunity to come back to the hotel. Due to the serious incident last year this should not have been a problem in our opinion. We were not given the room we were promised last year as they said it was high season!! Had we been given the room promised we would have left as happier customers. Our room this year was equally dated and dark - room 6. The shower leaked all over the floor due to an ill fitting shower screen. Breakfast was, as last year a bizarre experience with not enough food out for people and not enough seating either in the dining room making it quite an unrelaxed start to the day. We had to cook our own eggs as the scrambled eggs looked inedible. Everyone goes into the kitchen and trots back to the dining room with their food - which is a very strange set up... The hotel is perfectly located in the lovely village of Grasmere which may contribute to complacency regarding the need for cosmetic update and meticulous housekeeping necessary especially when charging top dollar!"
