Oak Bank in Grasmere Village

It's official folks, there's a new team at the Oak Bank!

Simon & Glynis are heading on to fresh pastures, and a new team have moved into the hotel. The new owner, Serena von der Heyde, is an experienced London hotelier with local family connections in the Lake District. The team have a great passion for the Lakes and are committed to building an ecological and sustainable business that works in harmony with the local area and community. We believe that Grasmere is a world class destination with tremendous potential for the future, and will be investing significantly in Oak Bank over the coming months. Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news over the coming months!

Now is the time to say Goodbye...

Goodbye!

But Seriously, we are leaving Oak Bank after 121/2 years. We thank each and everyone of our guests that have visited us over those years. Guests that have become more like friends. Many have been coming here longer than we have stayed and some came for the first time during our ownership, but we hope you all continue to visit Oak Bank and be as comfortable with the new owner Serena and her team as you have with us.

Glynis is going to do something she has never had enough time to do - relax and do her crafting. I am going to have to find a job that will keep her in the manner she has been accustomed to! Hopefully one that I enjoy and isn't 24/7.

We wish you all well and Thank You. It has been a great pleasure to look after you all in our time here. We will think of you all fondly.

So it's Goodnight from Her and it's Goodnight from Him

Glynis & Simon
