I spent two nights at Chestnut Villa (I last visited in November 2010). This trip was not part of the Coast to Coast walk, just a break in the Lakes. My room was at the top of this lovely old building, facing the back. Views to die for and lovely and quiet. Mike carried my bags up and showed me... More

This small B&B, on the outskirts of Grasmere, provided a perfect place to spend an overnighter. Although we only stayed for 1 night, my girlfriend and I have already decided we would return when we return to the Lakes. Our room (room 9) was cosy but had everything you could ask for; comfortable bed, clean, tidy and views that most... More

I couldn't fault this fabulous B&B - stayed overnight on the Coast 2 Coast and it was a joy at the end of a long day. Lovely room at the back of the house with great views and a window seat to enjoy them from. Good power shower and toiletries. Great advice on places to eat and swim from Richard.... More

Well, from the moment we rocked up to Chestnut Villa in Grasmere we were bowled over by the friendliness and professionalism of Richard and Mike. From the welcome to the beautiful rooms; gorgeous views and helpful local insights, they couldn't have made us feel more comfortable! After day 3 of the coast to coast walk we were a little tired...

Although it's a little outside Grasmere, this really is a great place to stay. We had a twin room at the back of the property, very well furnished and immaculate. The lounge is big and welcoming, there's a good pub less than 10 minutes' walk away if you want a decent pub meal, or you can head back in to... More

A friendly greeting and a choice of rooms on arrival set the scene for an excellent 3 night stay over the Easter weekend. The hosts obviously pay attention to detail which ultimately sets them apart from other establishments. The guests lounge is comfortable and spacious with a folder of information including walks and local menus. The dining room is well... More

Very much enjoyed my stay at Chestnut Villa. Mike and Richard were very welcoming and gave good advice about where to eat. Although the B&B is on a main road, I wasn't bothered by traffic noise at all. Rooms are decorated in quite funky dark colours with a few pieces of carefully chosen antique and modern furniture and fittings. It... More

We stayed over the Easter weekend this year. The hosts were excellent, wonderful breakfast and spotlessly clean room and ensuite bathroom. I would definately recommend it.

Made very welcome form the word 'go' and made very comfortable throughout our stay. Lots of attention to detail and exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast was very well cooked and lots of choice. Hosts offered good information on locality and were kind enough to dry off our wet walking gear! Heartily recommend and would re-visit!
