A lovely 2 night stay, beautiful location, very comfy bed, tasty breakfast and walking options on the doorstep. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, happy to share local knowledge and went out of their way to help with printed walking directions for an 11 miles circular walk. Many options for dinner just a short drive away.

Perfect place for a getaway. We were warmly welcomed by the host who straight away recommended places to go for dinner. Our room was lovely with a beautiful view of the countryside. We had a full English cooked for us which was spot on as we departed to climb scafell. We definitely would stay at this hotel again when we next visit the lakes

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.

Lakeland beauty

A stunningly beautiful house and gardens in an equally beautiful location, the hosts were very hospitable and very knowledgeable about the local area, the bed was super comfy and ample room in the bathroom with a very good walk in shower, full English breakfast was cooked to perfection, home made Blackberry jam you have to try, local pub nearby for food but remember to book a table for eavning dining.

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.

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.
