Lovely room , tastefully decorated with modern shower, comfortable bed and delicious breakfast. Excellent location too, bang in the centre of the village, will definitely be returning.
Faye
Such a lovely stay, great location and the stargazer room was lovely. Really enjoyed the breakfast too! Would come again
James
Zero communication between Victorian House and Expedia, they had no idea I'd booked a TWIN ROOM despite it clearly being the case on the Expedia reservation. I actually would surmise that Victorian House staff just don't look at the reservation details from Expedia? I had walked 15 miles that day and was blamed for not having contacted Victorian House and requesting a twin room (newsflash: I don't need to do that, it says on my booking that I have a twin room reserved). I didn't really like that and was very insulted, having done nothing wrong.
Despite Victorian House being entirely at fault, the receptionist even went so far as to say that she \"didn't like\" my \"attitude\" - how about apologising for your error and just getting me a twin room? The immediate hostility from hotel staff really put a dampener on my stay - do you think I enjoy arguing with hotel staff after a 15-mile walk? Avoid this place.

We usually stay at the Bridge Inn but needed to be near family in an arbnb.
The room was lovely, comfy bed next time I would request a room at the back of the hotel as we needed the window open in this heat and the traffic, although not heavy did disturb us.
The breakfast was fabulous, quality ingredients. We sat in the lovely conservatory.
The hotel is perfectly situated for the village.
Will definitely stay again.

Lucille
Wonderful stay with our dog! The staff were amazing, beautiful room and delicious breakfast. Third time here and we’ll keep returning!
Insiyah
We really enjoyed our stay!
Graham
Lovely place with good facilities, older property so our room was spacious, bed comfortable and good bathroom. A little noisy for the dog as we were on the ground floor next to reception. Limited parking outside the property but able to park across the road overnight until 10:00 am. Overall lovely stay.
Sophie
A lovely stay at Victorian House. Clean and comfortable room. The bed and pillows were so comfortable - real quality. The staff were very friendly and its a nice touch to have free cake at reception. I really enjoyed my stay.
Jess
Lovely place to stay and in a very good location. It has a lovely aesthetic and there was drinks and cake for guests waiting. I would leave a note for guests arriving early that they can leave their cars in the car park before check in as my partner kept going back to check with someone (anxiety) and there wasn't anyone around to ask.
We stayed in the stargazer room which was quite small but cozy. My biggest issue with the room was the bed is noted as king size but it seemed like a double at most to me which meant I slept badly as I need room to due circulation/nerve issues in my arms.
The view from the room was glorious, we stayed in the room in the evening and read while looking at the peaks. We couldn't see any stars due to clouds and I'm pretty sure there's a piece of the telescope missing, I may be wrong as I know nothing about them but there was no lens which I assume they need.
The staff were nice and breakfast was lovely. Everyone was helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. They all seemed to want to make the guests happy.

Mwara
What a fantastic place. We got such a friendly warm welcome, beautiful room, terrific breakfast. Central location is handy for going out for supper. My only niggle was that, because our room was on the ground floor, once breakfast service had started, we couldn't sleep due to noise of people and the radio.This was from about 7.30am.
Bonnie
Breakfast was delightful each morning! Also, our family appreciated the lovely sunroom, the helpful staff, the convenience to the village of Grasmere and countless footpaths, the treats put out each afternoon… we plan to return to the District and will stay at Victorian House!
Sally
Breakfast was outstanding. All staff very friendly. Beautiful village.
Michael
Lovely local hotel with friendly staff.
Ruby
A lovely room with a comfy bed and a very nice staff. You have to go elsewhere for dinner but breakfast was delicious. Recommend!
Charles
What lovely staff, so friendly. This is the best place i have stayed in yet on my Coast to Coast walk. Breakfast was amazing, apart from the usual full english (which loses its novelty after 5 days!) chose eggs benedict which was perfectly cooked and made a lovely change. Room was spacious and bed comfy. All together a great place to stay.

We had a pleasant stay. The room is big, clean and tidy. All the staffs are friendly and courteous. Susan at the reception made us feel very welcome. Breakfast is generous and good.
We have no issue with carpark although it is on a first come first serve basis. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location, great hotel and the staff were absolutely fantastic (particularly Alex and Susan), super friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was tasty with your choice of hot food made to order. I will definitely be staying again in future.
Jennifer
The hotel is in the beautiful city of Grasmere. There was limited parking even though online advertised available parking. When I booked online, the family room showed two beds. When we arrived, there was only one. The plumbing was very noisy and the shower was very narrow and hard to use. The bed was not comfortable at all.
Larissa
Another hreat stay in the Shepherd hut. Staff helpful and friendly
Kevin
Victorian House in a great location and staff are very friendly and helpful. The room that we had was on the small size but did the job for the 2 night we were there. Would highly recommended anyone coming to this area to stay there as it is great value for money.
Jeff
1) Even though our dog is very well behaved they insisted that he is not left unattended. This meant that we could not go out for meals and drinks. This policy is OTT. 2) Even though Grasmere is prime walking country, they would not swap my paid-for breakfast for a packed lunch. I thus had to go without. 3) Ended up paying for parking since their parking is limited to 7 cars. 4) They placed us in an annex with very noisy people upstairs; didn't sleep well. All of the above spoilt our enjoyment of this høtel.
Elizabeth
Lovely spot right in the centre of Grasmere. Room was very comfortable and the water hot and heating on after a long day walking. All very clean. Breakfast was delicious and the staff attentive and friendly. Really, really impressed and would stay again.
Amy
A lovely stay and very welcoming for the dogs and kids. Amazing gluten free options for breakfast too! Thankyou
Mike
It was our second stay at the Victorian and it won’t be our last.
The room we had was very spacious and most definitely ‘dog friendly’.
Our bed was comfortable and the breakfast experience was very pleasant with good quality food.

Ana
We were received very well, feeling welcomed from the moment we entered at the front door.
We were allocated to a big size room so our dog could be comfortable with us.
Parking was easy; despite restricted spaces at the property, there was parking across the street, so technically we could see our car from there.
The room was cozy and clean.
The breakfast room and options were fantastic.
We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Victorian House. Alex was a fabulous host and nothing was too much trouble. They accommodated us being vegan and gluten free at breakfast and oat milk in the room. There were also surprise balloons and a card in the room for my birthday and a free upgrade which was a wonderful surprise. We definitely recommend Victorian House and hope to stay again

Clare
Our stay at Victorian House was really nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful and our room was very pleasing. The interiors of the house are beautifully curated and we particularly enjoyed being so well located with parking and the lovely breakfast we were served. The only thing that would improve the stay would be new tvs in the rooms but this is minor. We're very much looking forward to returning, excellent stay and great value for money.
Annette

A wonderful pet friendly hotel in the heart of Grasmere. It was decorated beautifully, and the room we had was spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious, with a range of cooked options and a buffet style breakfast too (not to mention the dog got a sausage every morning!). Our only feedback would be that our room wasn’t cleaned during our stay, though it was only three nights. It would’ve been good to have the mugs and water jug refreshed, however I’m sure if we’d asked this would’ve happened, as the staff were friendly and happy to help. We would absolutely stay here again.

The he Victorian House was a delight to stay in, the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were delicious and the rooms were lovely.
The property is on the edge of grasmere and is very conveniently located near shops, the bus stop and cafes etc.

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.

Lovely hotel and great staff. Delicious, filling breakfast before a day of walking (or in our case watersports). Bravo.
Steven
Parking was difficult if you didn’t arrive early enough to get a spot outside the property.
Pierre
Great small hotel in perfect village
Very comfortable, great breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, loved Glasmere
Erika
Excellent Stay
Great hotel in a fantastic location. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and a great place to retire to after a day spent hiking. Breakfast was delicious.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were very nice, and the breakfast included was delicious. The only downside was the limited parking. There were only a few designated spaces, and they were occupied during my visit. I had to park on the roadside until 10:40 AM, but since the parking limit was until 10:00 AM, I ended up getting a parking ticket.
Margaret
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

Weve got all the time in the world.

A Gem In Grasmere
Outstanding accommodation.
We had a cosy room at the front of the hotel and we were very happy with every aspect of our stay
Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice and cooked breakfast was tasty and very well presented.
I highly recommend The Victorian.

Easy Parking, and a personal service

A glorified guest house! I didn’t quite know what to make of it, in all honesty …. It’s not a hotel in the usual sense of the word. It literally has a room with a desk, which I guess you could call a reception. A small room with a couple of settees, that you walk through to get to a conservatory where breakfast is served.
That’s it!
There’s no bar and no communal areas to sit and relax.
There’s no housekeeping service (unless you ask), which I thought was strange, but after a while I kind of liked the fact that staff aren’t in and out of your room.
There’s absolutely no atmosphere, we had the smallest TV on the wall (they need upgrading), the room was tired, warn in parts and very dark. Only 7 parking spaces, at the front!
However, the staff were hard working and pleasant, the breakfast was wonderful (compliments to the chef), the shower was powerful with loads of hot water, our room was quiet, it was in a good position for the centre of Grasmere, it was the cheapest hotel in Grasmere and it was clean.
Would I stay again? I think I would, yes.

What a great find, the staff were really helpful and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The place clean and the food (breakfast choice and quality) was great.
The location is excellent for hiking and exploring the local village. Now planning a return

Had a wonderful couple of nights in the Stargazing room.
The car park is small, but a decent one is just round the corner (£9 for a day, so spent £18 on top of the cost of the hotel)
The breakfasts were great, with a good selection of cooked food.
The facilities were nice, the bath water runs very hot, and is very difficult to cool. I spent more time getting the water right than I did in the bath. On this topic, the toiletries provided weren’t the best, so used my own.
The teas and coffees on offer in the room are standard fare, not quite what the price of the room would usually offer.
Overall, I had a lovely time in this hotel and in Grasmere, I would absolutely stay here again. The staff were warm and friendly at all times and the hotel is very conveniently located if coming for a night or two.

Best b and b in years !
Amazing b and b. Lovely owners/staff , couldn’t do enough for us. Very comfy room. Spectacular breakfast
Gregory
Really nice, friendly hotel. We did book the stargazy room which had great views. Only one issue and not the fault of the hotel but the large building opposite was so well lit it was pointless looking at the sky in the evening. Aside from that could not be happier and would love to stay again. Highly recommended and thanks for a lovely stay.
Lindsey
Excellent place to stay for access to walks in the lakes. Very dog friendly and super service. Characterful interior. Would thoroughly recommend.

Would return!
Such a great hotel in a lovely location. The breakfast was a highlight, and the service was excellent. We booked a twin room which was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Would stay again without hesitation.
