Oak Bank was originally commissioned as a private house built in 1872. It became a hotel in 1920.

Glynis & Simon Wood have owned and managed Oak Bank Hotel since April 2007, ably assisted by a small team of staff.

Many of our Guests return to Oak Bank two, three or four times a year to enjoy the Lake District in the different seasons, whether it’s for strenuous mountain hikes, a walk around Lake Grasmere, an amble around the village, or just to completely relax.
