Three girlfriends and I stayed at the Oak Bank hotel in Grasmere at the end of our 4-day trekking holiday, having walked from just outside Keswick. We arrived very tired and very wet, and were met with a very warm welcome. We had booked two twin rooms, one superior (room 15) and one standard (room 6a). Both rooms were very comfortable and we found a small decanter of sherry in each room which was exactly what we needed after a long day's walk in the wet fells! A lovely touch! The bath was fantastic - very deep - and good Bath Shop toileteries. We had booked the Dinner, Bed and Breakfast (as I had read such great reviews here TripAdvisor) and we weren't disappointed. The evening meal was fab - after another sherry (!), which was accompanied by some homemade breadsticks, an aubergine dip and some curry nuts, we went through to the dining room. Mobile phones were not allowed in the dining room, which was a welcome relief and made for great conversations, and a lovely atmosphere. The haddock amuse bouche was lovely with a delicate potato crisp. I opted for the chicken starter (it came with some Grasmere gingerbread), followed by the lamb. It was exceptionally good - beautifully presented and very tasty indeed. The two young waiters/waitresses were great - very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. We had a pre-dessert coffee pannacotta which was a great surprise. Luckily, we were able to share four of the five desserts (we opted for the cheeseboard and three other desserts). Again, the dishes were well-presented and tasted amazing. We all slept well - the beds are very comfortable and the sheets/duvet very snug. Breakfast was served from 8.15 the next morning - and was the best breakfast of the trip. Proper scrambled egg (how can so many other places get scarmbled egg so wrong) which was rich and creamy, smoked salmon (which was so light) and brioche, with a choice of cereals, fruit, nuts and juices. All the food on the menu is sourced locally. Checking out was very easy - with nothing too much trouble. I would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend it to anyone who asked where to stay in Grasmere.
