we got a late booking at white moss for the bank holiday weekend, and when we arrived we were welcomed by Sue with homemade cakes and biscuits and a silver service cup of tea which we enjoyed in the sunny garden. Our room was adequate with a very comfy bed and a well stock tray, the bathroom probably needed updating... More

Our recent trip to Grasmere was wonderful, however quite disappointed to stay at White Moss House. We had been told that the room we would be staying in was small but it was very small, the shower room just a cupboard, the shower didn't work properly, the TV remote didn't work properly, the bedcover was old and rather unpleasant satin...

Perfect retreat for a weekend in the Lakes and to stay in a house once owned by Wordsworth was an extra bonus. Spent two nights and left feeling we had had a week's break. Spotlessly clean and we both slept better than at home! Staff all attentive and helpful. Guest lounge was luxurious wood-panelled with period features and with a... More

The owner was quite friendly and helpful on arrival, and showed us to our very small room, which was quite cold, despite us turning the radiator and heated towel rail fully on. The decor in the room was quite chintzy, and very dated, although it looked like it was good quality stuff in its day (about 30 years ago). The... More

We booked two rooms for a weekend in early October. Plus points: nice welcome on arrival with tea in the guest lounge; beds very comfortable, breakfast ok and young waiting staff very good. Location near Grasmere and Ambleside is also very good. Negatives: It is very dated. If you like the 70/80s or are in that age group then this... More
