We booked the suite for 3 nights for a hiking weekend and a friend’s wedding. After a 6 hour journey from Norfolk the hosts were incredibly accommodating at our late check in hour and had great communication. The room was spectacular, spacious, beautiful furnishings, fruit platter, a minibar and most importantly the views. We had plenty of storage space, a full length wardrobe and ample sockets, including by the bed on both sides. The daily continental or cooked breakfast was delicious. The grounds were stunning and the welcome by the chickens and peacock each day was lovely, the views spectacular and I loved the touch of the twinkling tea lights leading you back to the house after dusk. Also getting ready for the wedding the bathroom had great lighting, plenty of mirrors and a well powered shower, hot hot water and a very good hair dryer (important for those of us with long hair!). It was a really easy drive around on very quiet roads to Langdale, Ambleside and Windermere. We had to leave very early on the Monday and came back to a small care package for us to set us on our long journey home. We will absolutely stay again if visiting the lakes, thank you so much.

Nothing, brilliant stay.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE AND WELL KEPT GARDENS SHARED WITH THE RESIDENT COCKERALS AND PEACOCK WERE FASCINATING.STUNNING VIEWS FANTASTIC HOSTS VERY FRIENDLY AND HAD A VAST KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA.BREAKFAST WAS PRE-ORDER WHICH WAS VERY TASTY SCRAMBLED EGGS SUPERB FROM THE CHICKENS...EVERYWHERE IN THE HOUSE WAS SPOTLESS,.

WE BOOKED A SUPERIOR DOUBLE ROOM BUT THERE WERE NO BEDSIDE TABLES WITH DRAWS JUST A SMALL TABLE WITH A LAMP THE WARDROBE WAS SO BIG WITH A MIRROR ON THE INSIDE THERE WAS NO SPACE FOR A DRESSING TABLE WITH DRAWS AND A MIRROR.THE ONLY PLACE TO PUT YOUR TOILETRIES WERE THE WINDOWSILLS.SO THIS ROOM FOR US WAS DISSAPOINTING AFTER SEEING THE OTHER ROOM NEXT TO US(the door was open) was also a double and so much nicer than ours so it spoilt it for me...

Beautiful location with views out over the hills. Nice to wake up in the morning with the sun streaming through the window and seeing the cows and sheep meandering around their fields. High Grassing also have their own peacock strutting its stuff and chickens, which make for entertaining viewing if you get to sit outside. Breakfast in the conservatory is excellent, a range of cereals, fruit, yoghurts and the option to have a full cooked breakfast as well. The bed is very comfortable and provides a good nights sleep. A very modern on suite bathroom, with large walk in shower and a large changing area. Downstairs is a sizeable communal living room with the conservatory leading off. A very pleasant stay and recommended to anyone wanting peace and quiet after a busy day in The Lakes. Ambleside is a 10 minute drive away, plenty of good restaurants or take-aways amongst the many Outdoor Activity Shops.

Your on-suite toilet activities may be a bit embarrasing if you are uncomfortable in front of your partner. However there is the downstairs Living Room, somewhere you can pop too while your other half uses the wc. Also, and this has nothing to do with High Grassings, beware of the local roads - very narrow and your delivery vans will hussle you and zip around the local area at speed. Can be rather intimidating.

What didn't we like. From the staff, to the condition of the rooms and the overall property, the food! I could not recommend this property anymore. I am new to the Lakes and wasn't sure if the location of the property was ideal but after realising we took a wrong turning, we realised the location of this property could not have been any better! Ambelside town centre is maybe a 10 min drive and popular walks/sights are within close proximity. The hosts Dave and Carey treat you like you are the only people there. They will go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable. They recommended a number of walks/routes for us which we followed and it made the trip that much more amazing. They gave us various options for breakfast the next morning and being vegetarian didn't have a concern at all with what was available. The whole place was clean and they are very covid conscious. Deffo rebooking next year!

No comment!

This place is charming - from the chickens and peacock wandering the lands , to the twinkling candles lit at dusk - I felt relaxed as soon as I arrived. The hosts could not have been more helpful ! We had planned out walks but David gave us a map of a walk he recommended that took us through such varied countryside and away from the crowds with lots of watering holes on the way . Room was spotless , with all the amenities you’d expect from this calibre of b&b

If you are looking for a buzzing night life and pub next door - this isn’t for you. There is a great pub 20 mins walk away with amazing food and we had a lovely walk there and back - one way along a quiet road and the other through some fields .

David and Carrie were extremely accommodating. Welcoming us with a glass of wulled wine on arrival, a lovely surprise! Great location. Lots to do and plenty of trails to explore. David was very helpful with his knowledge of the area. The room, house and grounds are exactly what we were looking for. Very clean and a nice hearty breakfast for a big day walking. Would highly recommend!I

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.

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.

Our stay at High Grassings, Lake District Bed and Breakfast was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of breathtaking scenery, this charming B&B offered the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, providing personalized service that made us feel right at home. Each morning, we were greeted with a sumptuous breakfast that catered to all tastes, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The room was beautifully appointed, with attention to detail that ensured a luxurious and restful experience. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the views from our window were picturesque, offering a serene backdrop to our stay. The location was ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Lake District, with easy access to roads, trails and lakes. Tarn Hows was close by and simply quintessentially English countryside at its best! What truly set this B&B apart was the genuine care and hospitality of the hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable, providing insightful recommendations and thoughtful touches throughout our stay. David & Michelle May 2024.

Nothing.

The property is very comfortable and perfectly positioned for a relaxing stay in the Lake District. We stayed for 6 days and enjoyed the room, breakfast as well as the hosts who could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was lovely be it the full English, salmon and scrambled eggs, my favourite was the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon which was accompanied by some lovely fruit!

Ok, I would have liked a more powerful shower but that was about it.

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.

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.
