"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!"

"Very beautiful hotel"

"Great experience: beautiful place, kind staff, and a really tasty breakfast"

"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."

"Hotel locate in great place with fantastic view, spa facilities is excellent."

"This hotel in the Lake District is absolutely excellent. It boasts a beautiful setting and is conveniently located within walking distance of the famous poet's former residence. Parking was easy and convenient. The town itself is very peaceful, with a lovely small river flowing through it. The breakfast was also fantastic; all hot items were freshly cooked to order. Our room was spotless."

"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."

"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"

"Would like to say we are regulars at Heidi s now and it always delivers but this time we’ve managed room 6 with a outside balcony which is simply stunning on 2 floors , spiral staircase , What a view !!! Breakfast usual excellent standard and always a warm welcome from the team"
