Hayward's at the Grasmere

The stuff were friendly and polite, and explained all the details when we arrived. The room was tidy and had a massive TV. The place is about 20 mins from Bath and probably 10-15 from Bristol (I didnt go that way). It is about 1km walk (Downhill) to the train station, and is on the main road so 2 mins to bus stops for around the area. There is a Hungry Horse pub within 2 minutes walk. All in all the place was nice place to stay and the breakfast (included) was very tasty. Just of note, this place is right next to the A36 which is a very busy road, and our room was looking onto this road, even with the windows shut the traffic noise was loud, so if I stayed here again I would request a room at the rear if possible

restaurant was not open open on Wednesdays eve I was a little surprised the hotel did not have the restaurant and bar open on Wednesdays. However, there was a pub 5 minutes walk away that did food. Breakfast was really good, and the parking was easy. The hotel is on a busy road, so expect some traffic noise.

The room was clean and tidy, staff were very polite and helpful. I didn't realise breakfast was included which was an additional bonus and was very nice. Slept really good on a very comfortable bed. The only thing to let it down was the shower pressure not being very strong. I will be staying here again.

Great location between Bath and Bristol. Room was quite small and a little tired but perfectly acceptable. Breakfast choice was excellent, we used the restaurant one evening, the food was really good. Parking is available but it’s not a big area and is used by guests and restaurant patrons so it does get busy.

SAVE YOUR MOBEY & BOOK SOMEWHERE ELES Do yourself a favour, and book another hotel You can get a lot better, for same money or less photos on line, deceiving Absolutely terrible .worst hotel I’ve stayed in for a long time. Bad points- no receptionist to great you Key in lock box, you’ve got to find your own way around hotel Very dirty in reception area, loads of mud on carpet & stairs, still was there next day Quite tatty, dated & Grubby Room tiny, hard to get past the bed to bathroom ,on right ride Very very basic ,don’t expect any frills Room very dirty , especially bathroom Hairs on floor , dirty walls & floor Cracked tiles, rusty radiator Grubby small shower cubicle , not even a shelf to put shower gel on husband hurt his neck, trying to shave, you have to manoeuvre your body & neck, to a funny position , to see in the mirror, what a funny place to put a mirror needs a whole revamp to be honest Long black Hairs on my pillow, and small hairs in bed Blood or red ink on bedding Only 1 towel, for two of us, not even any hand towel window blind, doesn’t fit window correctly, lets loads of light it ,down side, big gaps Lots of noise through night, early hours Doors banging Too hot to sleep , even though we turned the radiator off But you could not control radiator in bathroom, boiling all night Good points Although Breakfast was very basic , it was nice & cooked well Waiter very nice. Would have been nice though ,to be asked ,if we would like anything eles e.g fruit/yogurt/hot drinks

A group of about 35 of us met here for our annual lunch. We had been here last year and returned to this venue because it was so good. The food was excellent. The staff looked after us very well and the service was very efficient. There is limited parking in the forecourt so we arrived early!
