Snaptrip says
Shepherd's Crook in Grasmere is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location in the Lake District. Guests appreciate the well-furnished rooms, ample bathrooms, and thoughtful touches. While parking can be challenging, the property's charm and proximity to local amenities and scenic walks largely compensate. The responsive service to maintenance issues also adds to a positive experience.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it spotless upon arrival. One mention of a dishwasher not being emptied slightly impacts the score.
The central location in Grasmere is ideal for exploring the Lake District, with easy access to trails and local attractions. Traffic concerns and parking challenges are noted but do not significantly detract from the overall appeal.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the property well-suited for relaxation after exploring the area. The mention of a problematic mattress suggests a slight room for improvement.
The property is well-equipped with modern amenities and a kitchen, though some guests suggest improvements in kitchenware and drying facilities. Quick responses to maintenance issues reflect well on the property's management.
While guests appreciate the overall experience, there is insufficient information regarding specific thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Such a lovely location in the middle of Grasmere, near the pubs and restaurants. Parking was very easy, just over the road. We had a fabulous weekend.

Itâs a beautiful apartment with super views of the surrounding fells. Really cozy to relax in after a day walking! Spotlessly clean and well maintained. We will most definitely be back. Thank you!

We were three couples and two singles and stayed over New Year. The facilities are excellent and its very clean and comfortable. All bedrooms decorated to a high standard. Kitchen on the small side for catering for 8 but had everything we needed and more. All accommodation on 1st and 2nd floor.1 car parking space in the village car park. We would definitely return.
