YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe

📍 Easedale Rd, Ambleside, Grasmere
★★★★ 8.7 (32 reviews)

"I booked a shared room at the YHA for one night based on a last-minute decision to head out into the Lake District whilst the weather was nice for 2 consecutive days (which doesn't happen too much in Winter for Cumbria.) Fortunately I managed to get myself a bed and the whole overnight stay was comfortable, at affordable pricing, with friendly staff and all services explained to a first-time rookie. As i'm bagging Wainwrights i'll definitely be considering the Butharlyp Howe YHA again as accommodation next time i'm in the area."

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa

📍 By The Lake, Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere
★★★★ 8.3 (105 reviews)

"Brilliant location in the Lakes and a lovely place to base yourself. Breakfast was fine but nothing special. Room was a bit too hot and the bed not the comfiest, which let it down a touch. For the higher-end price, you expect a bit more from what’s meant to be a high-end hotel."

The Traveller's Rest

The Traveller's Rest

📍 The Traveller's Rest, Grasmere
★★★ 8.9 (101 reviews)

"We used the travellers inn as we wanted to see the grisdale tarn and we needed to a room to stay after the sight. They allowed us to store our luggage at the inn as our check in was at 3pm. The rooms were clean and it overlooked a farm area with lots of sheep. The room had an aesthetic look and there was tea satchets we could have as well. The staff were kind and wonderful. The rooms had the britain charm you see in old english movies. If you love sheeps, kind people, good food and 80's british aesthetics- then this place is just for you. We loved our stay here."

Victorian House

📍 Broadgate, Ambleside, Grasmere
★★★★ 9.3 (103 reviews)

"This hotel in the Lake District is absolutely excellent. It boasts a beautiful setting and is conveniently located within walking distance of the famous poet's former residence. Parking was easy and convenient. The town itself is very peaceful, with a lovely small river flowing through it. The breakfast was also fantastic; all hot items were freshly cooked to order. Our room was spotless."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe ★★★★
"Absolutely love it here. It’s such a good location for loads of walks, swims or just relaxing. The staff are friendly. It’s clean. There’s lots of facilities. They’re obviously improving things too with more storage for self catering. We stayed a night camping and a night in the dorm room. Ideal location for a walk up to easedale tarn or into abide via rydal. Of course will be back again very soon."
