Waaay more beautiful than your typical B&B ! Nestled in the heart of the Lake District Victorian House provides a cosy B&B but with beauty by the bucket load! Think cosy nights in the snug with a glass of red, kicking your boots off after a day of exploring and sinking into the sofa with a great book!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Very accommodating for a newborn baby (4 weeks old) and two dogs. The décor was beautiful and the rooms, spacious and warm. Breakfast was brilliant. Location is ideal for the middle of Grasmere. Just a perfect stay and exactly what we were looking for

Cannot fault this hotel in any way - its location, setting, staff, decor, quality of sleep and of course the breakfast was second to none… We have stayed previously and definitely will be staying again.

The hotel has an eclectic mix of Victorian furniture mixed with rugs and local artwork; a refreshing change from the usual hotel decor. A lovely restaurant overlooking the garden, plus easy access to the village centre makes this a really lovely place to stay.

From arrival at The Victorian House, everything has been perfect. All the staff we encountered were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was amazing and plenty of choice, with allergies catered for. Nothing we would change.

2 night stay here following one night in more expensive hotel. Victorian house far surpasses the more expensive hotels in grasmere. Friendly staff, great breakfast. We stayed in the shepherds hut this time having previously stayed in the stargazer room. The shepherds hut is amazing. They have thought of everything. Fire pit outside which we used while sitting by the river. Waking up in morning on river Bank- views to die for. Would highly recommend a stay in the shepherds hut.

We have now stayed twice at the Victorian, having recently re-discovered Grasmere as a great place to base our stay in the Lakes. We stayed in the Shepherds Hut next the river previously and this time in the Stargazer Room with a great view of the hills (and the swallows flying in) Cannot fault it and looking forward to our next visit in the near future.

Just got back from three night trip here. Had a stargazer room with Mountain View. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient, especially at breakfast. I tried a different cooked breakfast each day. Very good. Compliments to the chef. Great value for money.
