Amazing location with Grasmere on your doorstep, beautiful room with views over farmland and the lake. Didn't realise upon booking we'd have access to a sauna which was a lovely surprise - but best of all was watching the badgers on the lawn at dusk right outside our windows - an unforgettable experience! Love how ethically focused the hotel was too! Will definitely be staying here again!
