My wife and I stayed in this hotel in Summer 2006 and had very little to fault. Our main reason for choosing this hotel was that it accepted dogs and our dog could not have been made more welcome.
On check in we were issued with a Doggy Welcome pack that had details of walks from the hotel and what dogs were allowed and not allowed to do at the hotel. All of this written by the owner of the hotel's dog (Very Clever!!!), In addition to this, the staff on reception always had a dog biscuit everytime we came down to leave the hotel.
The room was very spacious with a separate TV viewing area and a whirlpool bath (a superior room). The whirlpool bath was very welcome after a days walking in the traditional lake district weather!
There is a bar in the hotel but for more atmosphere the pub attached to the side of the hotel is very cosy and a great place rto meet other people. All drinks and meals in the pub can be charged to your hotel bill.
The downsides of the hotel are that there is a car park but if the hotel is busy this can be limited and parking in Grasmere can get expensive. The pool is very nice but the gym is very small with only a bike and a treadmill. The reastaurant could do with some updating but the breakfast was very nice (we only stayed B&B).
Overall, I would reccomend this hotel, it is friendly and comfortable and a good base to explore the lakes.
