Report - Waterside Hotel, Grasmere March 2011

[Riemann]

Waterside Hotel is currently going through a multi-million pound refurbishment, although from the average passerby it looks like it is halfway through being demolished!

To view what it used to look like, here are some old pics of the grounds and interior...

Looking at the Trip Advisor Website, it looks like the place had pretty good reviews too...

“HOTEL NIGHTMAREâ€￾

We Arrived on 6th September 2008 at 6.30pm after driving 8 hours from the isle of skye so we was looking forward to a nice relaxing few days but we were in for quite a surprise the hotel should be closed down.

Carpets were thread bare as was the furniture the curtains in our room were in tatters the food served was no better, my wife is a vegetarian her starter for our evening meal was melon I ordered the chicken liver pate when my wife’s melon came we found traces of pate on the melon, pointing this out to the waitress we suggested to her that the melon must of been cut with the same knife as the pate she replied probably .
We booked out the next morning at 10am with a bill of £200.

Liked — NOTHING
Disliked — EVERYTHING

There's not much inside but as no one has uploaded anything since it appearing on the leads & rumor section, here you go.
