We have stayed at the Oak Bank Hotel in Grasmere at least four times. The first was in 1985 and each visit has been memorable. The service is always first rate and the food has been wonderful. Our last visit of four days in April was the best. The ownership has changed since we were there ten years ago. Our... More

Our first stay at the Oak Bank and we're already planning to come back in the autumn. The rooms are immaculately clean and furnished beautifully.The beds are really comfy and the food was delicious, healthy and beautifully presented. It was a pleasure to be served canapes in the lounge before dinner. We took along my 90 year old aunt who... More

For consistent quality look no further than Oak Bank. Following our seventh visit in just over two years the welcome is just as warm and the hospitality first class. You've read about all of the lovely little touches (Bath House products, sherry in the room, canapes before dinner etc.) well these along with the attention to detail by Glynis, Simon... More

Our second stay at the Oak Bank, and just as good, if not better, than the first. We stayed for four nights in a superior plus room which was lovely: clean, spacious and a very comfy bed. Love the little touches, the sherry, fresh milk. The food was once again outstanding, delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely stay,... More

As another reviewer has already said, the reviews seem to fall into two categories: "the vast majority of guests find it excellent, but a very small number find it very poor". I fall into the latter category and would not return. My husband and I stayed for one night in September 2012 whilst on our way home from The Borders,... More

Wow! Our first ‘poor’ after six years at Oak Bank, even though ‘the food was amazing’! ‘moschops’ openly admits twice about the ‘rules/notices’ as she calls them that ‘most of them were quite reasonable and what I would describe as polite or considerate behaviour’. This review and our guest information comes down to different people, different humour and different morals.... More

Stayed for 4 nights with two friends. How anybody can stay here and eat elsewhere is amazing, because the food and service at Oak Bank is without a doubt A1. It was helpful to travel up in two cars as when the Hotel is busy you have to double park because parking space is limited but what you lose here... More

This was our first hotel stay with our 15 month old baby and I was looking forward to it and dreading it as I expected her to scream the place down/ cry all night and even prevent us from eating the included dinner some evenings. Instead she was lavished with attention and fuss and was even taken of our hands... More
