From the moment we arrived we were impressed by the relaxed, friendly and efficient service. Our room was very comfortable indeed. After reading Jay Rayner's review of the restaurant, our expectations were high. The wonderful tastes, quality of produce and beautifully skilful presentation ensured that we were not let down. This is classy stuff! The unpretentiousness of this place is a real strength. Everyone who works here cares about providing a great experience for guests. The location is perfect, especially if you want to park your car and experience the spectacular scenery on foot. We did not want to leave!

We stayed after hearing so much about the standard of food at the Oakbank and were certainly not disappointed. From the fresh milk provided in the rooms - along with freshly baked shortbread and a little decanter of sherry, to the amuse bouches that preceded the main meal, we realised that this was going to be something special. The plates of food looked like works of art and tasted amazing. There is attention to detail in every plate served and ingredients seemed to be locally sourced. Fantastic value for money. I look forward to returning.

To celebrate my wife's birthday we returned to the Oak Bank, accompanied by my daughter and son-in-law for two nights. We received the usual warm welcome from Glyniss and Simon who advised my wife and I that we had been upgrade for the duration of our stay to the Acorn Suite. The room was excellent,with a huge comfortable bed and plenty of space. The food during our stay was up to the usual excellent standards and my daughter and her husband were suitably impressed. The waiting staff were very young but were both extremely efficient and knowledgable on the dishes that were being served. The weather during our two day stay was horrendous but the food more than compensated.
Once again a most enjoyable stay and I have no doubt we will all return in the very near future.

Room tip: Any room is excellent but the ones at the back suffer from less traffic noise.

Other recent reviews say it all and I fully endorse them. The Oak Bank is friendly and relaxed, and the meals were the highlight - very high quality, beautifully presented. I can't think of a good reason to stay anywhere else in Grasmere.
