Great little hotel, clean and comfortable with some outstanding food. The only time we have stayed in a hotel half board mainly due to reviews of the food which was superb fine dining and excellent value if booked at the same time as the room.

This was our third time at the Oak Bank Hotel and it was just as good as ever. As always, the food was fantastic - inventive and full of flavour. Simon and Glynis were perfect hosts and we had a wonderfully relaxing time.

We have just returned from our 2nd stay at the Oak Bank - it was a pleasure to return and everything was just as good as we remembered it from our first stay. The rooms are all individually decorated and the finishing touches in room are lovely The food cannot in any way be faulted, the presentation, the quality and... More

I still can't believe how amazing food was. Wasn't really expecting it at all!! Owners are really nice and helpful. They let us have a really late check in and also breakfast little earlier than usual as we were going on an early hiking trip. Rooms were really nice and hotel really quiet. Also loved the view. Definitely great place... More

We have just spent 2 nights at Oak Bank and can only say a big "thank you" to fellow Tripadvisor users. We booked it following some fantastic reviews and it did not disappoint in any way. The rooms are OK with everything you need. The location is ideal with stunning views. Car parking at the front of the hotel. Then... More

This was our second visit in two years. We enjoyed our stay last year so much that we went out of our way to return. The hotel is very near Grasmere Village but is quiet and very well managed. We had incorrectly stated our early check in request and arrived two hours before they expected us. The staff was very... More

Hotel is a typical Lakeland Hotel, in a large traditional house. The reception area is pleasant. The room was adequate - not big, not special, but perfectly OK. The staff and owners were pleasant but unexceptional. The Restaurant was absolutely exceptional - two of the highest quality meals I have had anywhere. I'm not really a "foodie" but I spent... More
