Moss Grove Organic Hotel, Ambleside

Moss Grove Organic Hotel - Hotel Description

Following 8 months of renovations, detailed research and innovative thought, this beautiful Victorian house has re-opened as what the owners believe to be the first organic hotel in the region.

With a host of eco-friendly features blended with uncompromising quality, from the organic clay paints to the filtered water throughout the property, the ethos of reducing the environmental and carbon impact is applied.

Set in the centre of Grasmere, Moss Grove Hotel features 11 rooms, each one unique in character, shape, design and ambiance. All share a relaxed and totally natural style to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Natural organic clay paints were used throughout; Thermafleece (sheep's fleece) was chosen for internal insulation; the original windows were replaced with identical handmade hardwood sash windows - double glazed to achieve current heat loss regulations; and reclaimed stained glass was used in the skylights.

Furthermore, new plumbing and wiring were installed; fire regulations were implemented to exceed requirements; 98% efficient boilers chosen; the mains water pressure was upgraded; and a filtration system installed to remove chlorine and pesticides from the water.

Please note that the pet policy is subject to availability, ground floor rooms only.
