Top Grasmere Showground Hotel Reviews

Moss Grove Organic

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, lovely chilled environment, fab breakfast and friendly staff, really recommend this place. It is such a shame it is being developed into apartments later in the year taking all the character away."

Lake View Country House and Self-catering Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Grasmere. Couldn’t recommend it enough."

Traveller's Rest Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful country inn, we booked to break up a journey south and it was so much nicer than a generic motorway hotel. The food was delicious, both dinner and breakfast. The staff could not have been any nicer, everyone we came into contact with was super friendly. It’s a very old building, and quite higgldy piggldy (low beans, some steep stairs) but the rooms are lovely and the bathrooms obviously recently replaced. Our only negative at all would be that the shower is a lovely big cubicle but the opening to get into the shower is very narrow. It was an inconvenience not a problem. We would absolutely stay here again."

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous place to stay right in the heart of Grasmere, lovely friendly helpful staff.Breakfast was excellent could not have wanted for more.Parking is limited at hotel but pay and display parking close by.Will definitely be returning 👍"

Rydal Hall Christian Retreat

"The accommodation is very clean, free hot drinks while we stayed and staff very nice, it could do with a lick of paint in certain areas. The location is amazing for walking to both Grasmere and Ambleside. We went to the local pub to watch the badgers. The grounds of Rydal Hall are beautiful and include the grot and a waterfall, Would stay again."
