Perfect location on the shore of Thirlmere. As other reviewers have said, its a little old fashioned downstairs but don’t let that put you off. Our room (15) was spacious, spotlessly clean and cosy with a large bathroom and wonderful view of the gardens and lake. Stay for dinner, it’s delicious. We’re already looking forward to coming back x

After entering with some in trepidation I was pleasantly greeted by a professional friendly gentleman who took my order and booking for dinner that night. I found a lovely corner to pitch up and settle down to enjoy my pint. Some times when you just try you are rewarded. And this is one such time. Feel very comfortable in the friendly, bright, clean and well run establishment. Fully recommend a visit. And if you can stay in the hotel or camp site next door then so much the better 👍🎊👍 Foods good too 😋

Great hotel, fabulous service, nice rooms. Bed was comfortable, very quiet. Lovely surroundings , great location for walks. Restaurant was really good, we had a 3 course evening meal, afternoon tea and 2 breakfasts . All were top quality. Recommended, we'll be back.

We used The Grange as a base for our week in The Lakes. What a super find. Sally and her team are excellent. I had had a small procedure on my knee the week before so they found us a room with easier access. All the rooms are lovely though nicely decorated, clean and fresh. The breakfast set us for the day and we skipped lunch most days because of that. It is quite a hill to walk up from town but well worth it. The views are wonderful.

From the minute we pulled up to the minute we left, couldn't fault a single thing. Lovely welcome on arrival, showed to a fantastic room and breakfast arrangements explained. Room was more than adequate with a really comfortable bed, good shower and tea/coffee facilities at hand,and breakfast was amazing, with really good selection and quality produce. Host couldnt do enough for you, even when he was flying solo on this particular weekend. Great location and close to town but just far enough out not to get any noise( 2- 3 mins walk). Managed to get a parking space in the street opposite, so car never moved all weekend. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again when next up there. Thanks for a great stay Noel & Lisa (Room 3)

Firstly the staff were friendly and efficient, secondly the hotel allowed us to have dinner as a non resident, that’s where the positives ended I’m afraid. We had to pay in advance for the meal and as we went along for drinks, very unusual. Where our true disappointment came was from the quality of the food. Our starter of garlic mushrooms on garlic bread was returned as it was too over powering with garlic. The salmon roulade was adequate. The roast beef was well cooked and quite tender, the vegetables and potatoes had been around too long and lacked flavour and freshness. The stir fry chicken was a poor imitation of the real thing, while it was edible, it was quite bland. Further disappointment came with the deserts, very poor cheesecake, soggy base and rubbery filling. Even the chocolate ice cream had no flavour, just coloured frozen water. It felt like the food was aimed at guests (tourists) who didn’t have a choice and would never be returning anyway. Would recommend the White Lion pub as an alternative in Patterdale.
