Top Dove Cottage Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying, excellent base for hiking the fells and mountains, especially with the spa for afterwards. Staff are excellent and friendly, looking forward to our next stay."

Moss Grove Organic

10/10 Excellent

"Moss Grove is a fantastic B&B in the heart of Grasmere. The staff were wonderful—their “we’ll do everything we can for our guests” attitude really made our stay. The hot tub photos seen during booking however, gave us the wrong impression. It’s exclusively for the suite, with no access for other guests. We brought our bathing suits, only for them to spend the entire stay in our suitcase. A massive disappointment. What did I like…the staff!!! Breakfast and location. What didn’t I like? The hot tub we couldn’t use and the price we paid for a hub tub we didn’t have access to."

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Victorian house. Would definitely consider staying again if we return to the Lake District. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel was beautifully decorated. Our little dog also enjoyed her holiday, mainly because of the sausages at breakfast! The Cake available in reception was a lovely touch."
