Excellent B&B
My wife and I could only sadly stay for one night at High Grassings. This B&B is a great place to stay for anyone exploring the lakes. The hosts are wonderful with a great wealth of local knowledge including a good couple of restaurant recommendations and advice on things to do. (The Tarn How's walk in particular isn't something we had been aware of which we thoroughly enjoyed.) The B&B itself is very well setup with rooms in great condition, a nice dining room for breakfast with a spectacular view. Breakfast was a lovely Full English and the hosts were great throughout. Hope to stay here again for more than a single night.

Beautiful property
Beautiful property with amazing views. Our room had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. The property does not serve food other than breakfast, there are a couple of local eateries but they are a mile or two away.

Splendid views in a quiet area near to Tarn Hows.
The owner was very welcoming and friendly. After showing us to our room, which had a beautiful view she gave us a glass of mulled wine which was a lovely touch on such a cold day. She then told us where we could go to have dinner. Next morning, a beautiful, frosty day we had a lovely breakfast overlooking the glittering hills and misty valleys, which was a brilliant start to the day.

Our room was very small. The hand basin was set into the dressing table with the tv next to it. The basket with teabags, cups etc was under the sink, along with the kettle. There were no power points above waist height so the kettle had to be plugged in on the floor beside the bed. The 'ensuite' was a toilet with a facing shower. Having said that, our hosts David and Carrie were exceptional, the b+b was very clean and tastefully decorated. They even provided complementary wine and nibbles on an evening in the lounge. David advised us of a walk around Tarn Hows which was delightful. The breakfasts were cooked to order ( ordered the day before), this was explained as the breakfasts would be fresh, but we thought it was to save on waste. The house is set in delightful countryside, a short drive from Ambleside, with stunning views. We thought it was overpriced, based purely on the size of our room. If we had been on '4 in a bed' we would have offered £80 a night, not the £103.50 we paid.

Wasted potential
Nice property and decent breakfast. HOWEVER, owner who pretends to make you welcome and relaxed but is actually checking you all the time. Put out some complimentary wine then took it away before we could get a glass even though we'd come down to the lounge. Owner's family running all over the house. Noisy -- got woken up several times early morning. Has a starving cat that the owner claims has a thyroid problem, but actually because he feeds it toast.

If you like peace and tranquility, and a gaggle of geese overlooking rolling pastures, stay here! You will love it. A beautiful home, in a beautiful setting, with lovely and gracious hosts. One of my favorite stays in almost 600 consecutive nights traveling the world. Superb.

Lovely B&B in the Lake District. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating and the room was clean and comfortable, although a little cramped in size (should have paid extra for a larger room!) A cooked breakfast was included which was very nice. The B&B was a couple of miles from the village of Hawkshead where there are 4 pubs serving good food - we went to the Queens Head for dinner which we couldn't fault. Overall a very good stay in a lovely part of England. Wish we could have stayed longer as nearby Lake Windermere was beautiful - we can recommend the steamer cruise.
