Good -will stay again

Great place, very friendly, lovely breakfast and nice cake! The blinds in our roof top room weren’t good -let a lot of light in but when we mentioned it we were given eye masks and offered for someone to mend them
Margaret, 2-night trip

Very nice hotel

Our recent stay at The Victorian House was very good, room was nice, comfortable bed, great staff and service, great location in Grasmere and fantastic breakfasts. Our dog friendly room was in an outer annexe adjoining the garden on the ground floor, room was nice and clean although bathroom paint was peeling off all around the top of the walls above the shower and window, possibly could do with repainting with waterproof paint. Now our bugbear, the noise from people upstairs was unbearable being a light sleeper, you'd think they had a hot tub and liked moving furniture around all night, the walls are a bit thin so you do hear your neighbours next door. We managed to get a parking space for both nights too which was a bonus as in the lakes you can spend a fortune on car parking !! All in all a nice hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff, we enjoyed our stay overall.
