    It may have been nice to see some pastries at breakfast, but I still really enjoyed the choice I had. There was nothing else I did not like. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to coming back in the future sometime.

    The cooked breakfast was lovely and always well presented. The staff were always on hand in case you wanted any more beverages. The view was beautiful. I could see the mountains from far away and the chickens roaming the grounds. The room was lovely. It had coffee/ tea making facilities along with enough towels etc.

    PROPERLY RUN B&B GUEST HOUSE
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    • Stayed 3 nights

    As a B&B for me this was just what I was looking for and there are enough pubs and restaurants not too far away by car for your evening meals. Fortunately the type of guests that would want to book here are probably quieter than the norm so noise from the other rooms is probably at a minimum in this nicely converted house.

    Perfect if you like a non generic hotel type stay. Tucked away right along the winding undulating narrow roads this area offers quite near Coniston Water. A great view across the fields with a charming rural ambience matched by friendly non intrusive and considerate hosts. The rooms and guest areas feel very relaxed and homely.

    High Grassings Country House is the perfect stay for visiting the Lake District. It’s in a peaceful location close to some beautiful villages and towns. Dave couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly and gave us so many tips for local eateries, walks and things to do. The views from the bedroom are stunning, the whole place is spotlessly clean and we had a very comfy night sleep. I couldn’t have asked for any more and will definitely visit again! The breakfast was also delicious, thanks so much Dave!

    If you're not confident driving on really narrow country lanes, then this maybe isn't the location for you.

    Wonderful quiet location with lovely views. The room was beautiful. The owners could not have been more helpful. "Unfortunately High Grassings B&B will after many years close its doors as from 1st November 2023 to B&B guests as the owners are to retire . We wish them well."
