This is the third time we have stayed at Grasmere and as usual we had an exceptionable stay in a beautiful location. I was a little upset that access to the lake has now been fenced off and we were not informed but I guess you had your reasons.Hot tap could do with a tighten and kitchen bin lid needs fixing but apart from that all was excellent Thanks for an enjoyable relaxing stay at your beautiful property

Thank you for your review. We have recently closed the path to the lake as part of our efforts to manage the estate, including rotating our endangered White Park cattle through the fields, one of which the path crosses. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you also for highlighting the issues with the kitchen tap and bin lid. We've noted these and will ensure they are addressed promptly. We’re very pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay overall and hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Second stay at Grasmere

We stayed for 10 days for long break away from city life.
It was v peaceful & relaxing and our dog loved being away from the fireworks etc.
There's some nice pubs not too far away plus hawkshead has some good amenities for your needs.
We've stayed there for the last two years so that tells a story.

This is the second time we have been to this converted barn which is very comfortable with everything we need it is like home from home. We can’t thank your company enough for making this a memorable holiday.
Kind regards Margaret&Ray Tomlinson.

Like the property, but it desperately needs modernising, particularly bathroom and attend to the mould around the bath silicone. The 70’s glass doors really age the property. Dangerously loose pan handle could cause a scald injury.
The whole property is a bit ‘ tired’ and I would not recommend it to others as it is not a cheap option to stay here.

Apartment was absolutely lovely. Clean on arrival and we were impressed with the size. Came with all the essentials like bin bags, toilet roll and washing up powiod amd cloths etc. A really nice country cottage look throughout, although the doors were dated amd bathroom could have done with some attention. Any issues we're dealt with in a matter of minutes. Location is lovely, very quiet and close enough to Hawkshead. Will definitely be coming back!

Fully equipped, spacious enough for a family of 4. Windows face into the courtyard, so, no view, but there are picnic benches to supply the view and we were grateful of the shady coolness of the property in the very hot weather! Handy laundry facilities on site with pulley drying racks (can't believe that others were using the tumble drier in 28-30C weather!), and top marks for the 2 EV charge points in the yard. WiFi speed perfectly good enough for work/streaming. Nice path down to the lakeside (no swimming), with lots of wild blackberries to pick, although it could benefit from the vegetation being cut back in places. No onsite recycling facilities, so people were simply leaving glass bottles and other recyclables by the bin - it would be good to leave information in the cottages re the nearby recycling in Hawkshead CP.
Very happy with this, our second, stay on Graythwaite Estate, having stayed at Newlands (which has access to the pool and games room) a few years ago; we will definitely return again in the future.

Little disappointed that we had work men for three days of our holiday. Internet needs improvement. Otherwise a nice stay
