“What stands out is the enviable access to Grasmere Lake's shore, a rare treat. A short stroll puts you in Grasmere village, yet the setting remains blissfully quiet, especially in the dog-friendly gardens. The affiliation with the local brewery sweetens the deal, offering a genuine taste of Cumbrian life.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Lake View Country House And Self-Catering Apartments from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lake View Country House is a popular choice for its convenient location, just a short walk from Grasmere Centre. Guests often appreciate the clean and comfortable rooms, some finding them quite big and spacious, like the Holly room. The availability of parking is generally seen as a plus, and many enjoy the private walk to Grasmere and gardens, with some even spotting badgers; however, some guests have noted that there was no lake view from their room despite it stating there would be. The penthouse stands out with fabulous views of the lake and surrounding mountains from its rooftop terrace, and breakfast at The Good Sport is well-regarded.

this guesthouse is super clean and has many facilities. i used the sauna . the nearby pub called distillers arms provides food and drink. i enjoyed watching badgers at sunset. the location is great with access to the lakeshore. the reception has camping chairs and umbrellas. i found walking maps useful. the bath tub was luxurious.
i didn't see staff often, only a cleaner briefly. breakfast had a discount at a local cafe, not on site. i felt a bit unwelcomed with no one around.

I appreciated the large garden with access to the lake. The Lake room offered a cozy seating area with views of the garden. The hotel has a partnership with a local pub. Guests receive a discount with their room key. The location is quiet, yet it is conveniently close to everything.
I did notice a very slight smell of dogs in some common areas.

the location is excellent near all attractions and cafés. it is situated on a quiet lane close to the lake (a short walk, really). the hotel includes private access to the lake shore for secluded strolls. the complimentary on-site parking was definitely a plus.
the bed and pillows were firmer than my preference, so my sleep wasn't perfect.

The lake room features a well appointed bathroom and a kitchenette (very convenient). it was super clean and pet-friendly, a great combination. our room was well equipped for self catering. That was a bonus.

I appreciated the proximity to the lakeshore. It was a wonderful treat. camping chairs were available for guest usage. suggested walking maps at reception were very useful.
I never saw any staff except for a brief encounter with a cleaner. breakfast was only offered at a local cafe with a discount. There were no on-site options. the bed and pillows were too firm, leading to poor sleep.
