Have stayed in most hotels in grasmere and this time decided to try lancrigg. Setting is very special. Absolutely stunning. Although I appreciate the charm and history of lancrigg, it is very run down. Small double room. Mould on walls around window and mould round sink and bath in bathroom. No remote for tv. Got one but batteries dead. New batteries provided. Only 5 channels all of which were channel 5. Bulb in lamp needing replacing. Dinner - steak should have been medium rare - some bits weren't cooked. Did not complain as staff member was very busy and seemed to be doing everything herself. The food left on the plates should have told the cook something. Breakfast absolutely awful. In the home of cumberland sausages we were served skinny skinless ones. None of the food was hot. Limited range of cereals. No fresh fruit - a tin of fruit salad and a tin of peaches like the 1970s. First morning I could only eat muesli which was the cheapest looking I have ever seen This morning granola and yoghurt. No honey or fresh fruit to put through it. I feel everything is being done on the cheap here. Far better places to stay in grasmere. Will stick to victorian house hotel next time - same price but far better quality in everything.

Was here for a wedding. A lovely spot with great views, friendly and efficient staff, lovely ambience, historical links to Wordsworth and other lakes poets, great walks close by and a short walk to Grasmere.
