first impressions a glowing fire which was nice but not on a nice day is just silly, the girl on reception was rude who spoke in a European accent, never have I experienced a receptionist like it. The rooms was very in need of a lack of paint very very old fashioned and in need of some care and attention.... more

When staying at the Wordworths hotel, initial impression was great, there was a lot of character and charm to the building, as one may expect from a hotel named after one of the Greatest English romantic poets in History. However the services and standards of the hotel was really poor. Which is a shame. The rooms that we stayed in,... more

Went to Lake District with a few friends expecting a nice relaxing break. THEN WE GOT TO THIS HOTEL. The service was absoultely, horrifically TERRIBLE - the reception woman literally snapped at me when I asked her anything. That wasn't the worst thing. My friends stayed at room 34 and there was a piece of PUBIC HAIR and a peice... more

I stayed here for the middle night of a three day visit to the Lakes. A last-minute phone booking with efficient, friendly reception staff. As we arrived, the rain started but there was easy access from the rear car-park. The walk through to reception was quite long but easy to find. Staff were very helpful and the room (with no... more

We spent our Golden Wedding anniversary at the Wordsworth, lunch for 30 people most of whom spent one or two nights there. All of us were delighted with the service which was unobtrusive and professional, and the food which was very good and well presented. Although providing amenities of a 4 star hotel, it retains the character of a historic... more

Superb location and wonderful rooms the ww hotel has an almost tangible feeling of stepping into the past when you cross the threshold. Certainly the breakfast they provided felt as though there could still be world war 2 rationing on. A cumberland breakfast consisted of mushrooms (one) tomatoes (a half one) and sausages (one), bacon and a slice of black... more

Really says it all above. We had a double room (room No. 20) and a single room for our son aged 13 (room o. 21) - both were excellent - comfortable, spacious, lovely. The pool was quiet and superb. We didn't breakfast there as there are so many beautiful places to eat in Grasmere itself - but the experience was... more

After travelling down from The Highlands we thought we would break our journey home by staying a night in The Lake District so on the off chance we pulled up at The Wordsworth and enquired if they had any rooms for the evening (for 2 adults and my son of 5). The girl on reception was quite pleasant and said... more
