The location is wonderful. A short, pretty walk to the village of Grasmere. The bed was huge and comfortable. Really loved breakfast too.

The room wasn't as advertised. We thought we were getting a free standing bath tub and a large room with windows facing the garden. While we were facing the garden, the windows were small and the room was oddly shaped with a weird annex, not at all as the photos. The bathroom also did not have a free standing bath tub. Just felt a bit like we didn't get what we paid for.

Location was great and very close to everything we wanted to visit. The hotel is beautiful and our stay has been perfect. Forest Side is the best hotel we have ever stayed in and I would love to visit again. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. I felt so relaxed and at home at the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful grounds. We saw two deers walking in the gardens outside while eating our breakfast. The rooms have lots of little touches from luxury toiletries to a cake of the day provided for us to enjoy. I would highly recommend to everyone .

Another fabulous stay at this hotel. Our room was upgraded which was a lovely surprise. Our bedroom and bathroom were stunning. We loved the ice water and cake every day. The breakfast was delicious, with lots of choice. The staff were all very helpful, friendly and professional. We will be back!!!
