We have just had another stay at our lovely second home Silverholme.It is just the most amazing place and everyone we bring with us loves it.You couldn't have a better view anywhere in the UK and it really does feel like coming home every time we are here.Roll on the next time.
Lovely house in an area. Annex toilet needed to be cleaned before use. An oversight most likely as the rest of the house was spotless.
Good venue for large group gathering Plenty of parking Big dining room Some plumbing issues quickly resolved Warm and cosy Decor perhaps could do with update Great place for friends ‘ get together Will return again
Great property in a beautiful area. Well maintained and spotless. I would have liked a couple of mixing bowls in the kitchen but that's all.
I and my brother in law, had a great time in this part of England. The cottage was great and suited well. We hope to come back soon!
Location perfect right by the lake only a short walk to silverholme where we were attended a wedding which was also in a beautiful location the weather was perfect. The cottage was cosy & well equipped just could have done with a hand rail on the outside steps & a bannister on the bottom of the stairs as we are in our 70s & found it slightly tricky but we had a lovely time & would recommend it lovely having your own lake frontage .
Comfy cosy quiet base to explore the Lake District Absolutely doggy heaven Would love to return again
Really lovely cottage. There were some minor cosmetic things that needed addressing however, overall it was a lovely cottage. I just wish we have more time to enjoy it and the local area. For the Light the Lakes event though it was very remote, and on our part we needed to plan ahead more with our food and maybe should of had a Tesco's delivery. A couple of times we popped to the shop and it was closed. Poor timing on our part. The fan in the master double room bathroom could do with upgrading as it doesn't extract fast enough, leading to a lot of condensation. It was reported that the...more
We spent New Year's Day at Head Field House in Graythwaite, it was very pleasant. The house is very spacious, with a lovely view of the grounds!
Perfect house for our family celebration. Idyllic position. Expensive. Efficient heating system. More small/ medium saucepans needed. More tea towels/ dishcloths needed. Roasting trays/baking trays have a serious health hazard!!
This is an immaculatly clean property which contains all you require for a lovely stay. It is in a gorgeous tranquil location, with complete silence and total darkness. It's fair to say I highlighted a few issues with the patio in general but once those issues where highlighted to Amanda and the maintenance team, they recognised the issues, accepted them and resolved every single issue at light speed. It's the best customer service response I've ever experienced, you are an absolute credit to your organisation.
We had a lovely stay but for the price that cottage would’ve been (we had a heavily discounted price) I wouldn’t have been that pleased with the very poor quality and poor condition of the kitchen utensils, especially pots and pans, strange array of plates (it felt like a jumble of unwanted items cleared out of someone’s house) and bleach stained tea towel. The clock in the kitchen needed a new battery on arrival and it would be nice to leave more than 2 dishwasher tablets for people. The throws in the twin room malted a lot and left green fluff on everything and a second bedside table is need...more
Eel House cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed. Weather was poor so the log burner was lovely of an evening. Nice that both bedrooms had use of their own bathroom and we found the beds comfy. The smart TV was ok once you got used to it, and the wi-fi was great for all our devices. Despite rain for 7 days solid we had a lovely time and found we were in a great location to explore the area.
This was our second visit to Graythwaite for the October holidays. Different cottage but same comfortable and high standards. Slightly disappointed by a mix up in booking the pool and by the hot water boiler breaking down but both were responded to promptly. We also had a group of very noisy young couples staying across from us who were outside till well after mid-night on a couple of nights but I guess these things happen and we didn’t report it. Hopefully we will be back again.
Hilltop was a great cottage that was nice and private with no passing traffic or people. It was a great base to explore the surrounding areas. Everything in the property worked and was ok but it's all a little bit tired and in need of some tlc. I appreciate it is an old cottage but things like the outdoor furniture was broken so unuseable, patio slabs were loose. There is a lovely view of lake windermere but it's blocked by overgrown bushes. The grass wa to overgrown for the kids to play in. It's also all a bit damp inside property. We really enjoyed our stay and would return but it w...more
This was central to our week in the lakes, lovely location, quiet at night, superb wildlife. Useful having a shop on site too!
Had a lovely stay, great walks and so close to the water which is perfect for water loving dogs. Will definitely come back.
We love the grounds and being able to walk our dog right from the door. The property was great. Would have liked the shop to be open more. The outdoor light wasn’t working and toilet flush was sometimes difficult to use. Looking forward to our next stay. We also love being able to use Graythwaite adventures.
Our stay at Hazelseat House was to celebrate, as a whole family, my wife’s 70th Birthday. The accommodation was just right to cope with our party of 11 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs. It was clean and comfortable and covered all our needs for the weekend stay. Although my first impression of the external view of the house was that it looked a little tired and in need of freshening up, the internal condition was fine. The support of the staff at the Greythwaite estate office prior to the stay was excellent.
The house was stunning, lovely open dining area and front room with log burner, very cosy!! Acces to great walks and swims for dogs and humans. Close to nearby villages with pubs too.Lovely weekend!!
A beautiful cottage located in the most stunning of settings, overlooking Lake Windermere. We stayed for the week over Christmas and it was perfect; log fire, beautiful kitchen and comfortable beds. You can walk along the lakeside from the garden which was heaven for our dog (and us!). We booked to use the pool a few times. This was a hit with our girls. We’d love to come and experience it in the summer so we will be back. Thank you ☺️
Our autumnal family break was much needed and we enjoyed our stay on the Graythwaite estate in the Bullpen cottage.
What a peaceful location . Bike and dog walk by the front door. Swimming pool , shop on site. So quiet and what a beautiful setting . The only minor glitch was the WiFi kept cutting out . We accept that happens in the country
Lovely view on Lake Windermere, Quietly situated. Ideal for two people, but can accommodate up to four.
Once again a lovely few days at Windermere. The cottage is so comfortable in the winter even though we had wonderful weather. All facilities clean and smart. Look forward to returning in the summer.
Grubbings was an ideal spacious cottage for our family get togethers.. It’s in a lovely peaceful situation with great walks on the doorstep, and the swimming pool close by.. We have stayed on the estate several times and will be returning again next year and would recommend it to anyone..
We stayed for a week and had a great time. The pool is excellent, the location is great, the staff were lovely but we will probably not be coming back because we get no mobile signal at the property whatsoever and the wifi kept cutting out after about 5 mins or so. It made it really hard to take check my work emails during the week and plan any trips and our teen was not happy. Shame. Great place otherwise. We might try one of the other properties as the mobile signal was ok anywhere outwith the group of properties.
Another lovely week at Forge property on your lovely estate. No real complaints, but the lounge carpet could do with a good clean to get out the stains and we really need 2x hand towels, The large bath towels are not a substitute as they are far too big. Please get the hand rail put back in the swimming pool, it’s dangerous climbing out as slippery without it. It’s 4 years on the trot that we’ve been and find it wonderfully relaxing even though the weather/rain was awful
The property is tired and ready for a refresh.we had to ask housekeeping to revisit and clean the kitchen floor,also housekeeping did clear some cobwebs however they were plenty a lot in every room,bathroom mirror light did not work and bathroom door bolt broken and a temporary long screw had been used,so this obviously was not a recent breakage, All of these were reported during visit. Maintenance visited but did nothing Fridge should have a top freezer so that some small items can be keep frozen without going and using the communal freezer. Frigge dor shelf broken but just left in the f...more
It was the perfect location for a special family holiday for all ages and interests. Relaxing by lake Windermere, kids swimming in the pool, free fishing on the estate and beautiful walks and locations to explore locally, with a warm, comfortable and spacious lounge to return to each evening. Just what we needed
Although just a one bedroom apartment, Loweswater is idyllic for a getaway couple. The main sitting roonm has a ceiling nearly 3m high and feels like a small house, not a cottage. The outlook over parkland was admittedly set off by stunning autumn weather, The barn style covered entrance is ideal for shedding wet clothes, drying dogs etc before entering the kitchen. The ability to pre-order supplies and firewood from the farm shop is so convenient and is safely stored in the house before you arrive. Also enjoyed 4WD course with Graythwaite Adventure
The cottage has everything we need, beds are comfortable and the cottage is very warm. We will definitely stay again.
Another very enjoyable stay at Jubilee Cottage which has fantastic views across the field to the wooded area.. The swimming pool was great too. We have previously enjoyed the Graythwaite activities which we would recommend..
A very disappointing stay. Would not recommend. The kitchen is the only room to have been tidied up. Radiators are dodgy. Shower controls broken. Holes in carpet.
We had some nice days in this wonderful environment in a cosy appartement. Giving that the weather also was very nice these days, we ha a wonderful time.
We stayed to visit Hawkshead Christmas and also the car rally, which was cancelled, we had a great time this year but not as much fun as last year when we were snowed in!
Used Graithwaite for some years now....its become a pre christmas routine.Good selection of cottages and apartments.Excellent value for money.
We stayed with our 3 children over Christmas to see family locally. We had been emailed to say they weren't providing a Christmas tree but I hadn't expected them to forgo any festive decorations at all. The property was completely bare, not even a rug in the living room. The cushions in the living room and throw cushions on the beds were dirty, the bathroom radiator is rusty so I couldn't hang our flannels to dry. The crockery and glasses in the cupboard were greasy and dirty. We arrived late as they knew we'd be travelling all day and there wasn't even a welcome note never mind a pint of milk...more
