    Everything. Bedroom was big and had the feel of luxury about it. Shower was excellent with no waiting on hot water. View outside window was peaceful. Breakfast was delish and plenty to fill you up for the day. Afternoon tea was a welcome surprise. Staff were professional and friendly. The decor was beautiful and inviting. Grasmere is a beautiful and peaceful place and I would recommend staying here at Bridge House Hotel.
