Would highly recommend Cunsey Mill House. It's a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Really clean and a lovely interior. The only thing that could make it better would be the addition of a coffee machine! Would definitely stay again.
The entire process of booking and arranging our stay at Silverholme was made incredibly easy and efficient with the help of Vanessa and her team. Every question was answered promptly and helpfully. The property is stunning in a unrivalled location. You really feel like you can get away from it all while staying at the Manor.
We write this review with a cup of tea and the morning sun lighting-up the room. We enjoy coming back to Home Farmhouse, as it is perfectly located on the Graythwaite Cottage complex. It is ideal for those with dogs as it looks out onto it's own paddock. Many will visit the Lake District to walk. You can walk from the cottage and explore the Graythwaite Estate along many of the country and lakeside walks. Big thanks to all the Graythwaite Team. Until next time!
Wonderful location to get a proper break over the festive period. Really enjoyed having the proximity to the lake and the ability to enjoy the views.
We really enjoyed our time at Dove Cottage. The location is great with views across the parkland towards the hall, and walks from the door. Very peaceful. The cottage was well equipped, warm and cosy with a great log burner. Beds were super comfy. We had a problem with the hot water ant the start of our stay and the estate team responded and fixed it immediately. Will definitely book again - amazing value for a winter break.
We had a lovely week at Hilltop lovely lakeland cottage, really enjoyed the view and settling, we will definitely return to the estate.
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!
Having been invited to our nephew's wedding in January we were a little wary that the weather would be bad and we would be in a cold cottage. Not so the cottage was cosy and warm. Well stocked and the facilities excellent. The sun even came out on the big day. Would recommend this venue for two people.
Forge house was just what we needed with a lovely kitchen/sitting room cum dining room .Everyone was very happy to be in such wonderful surroundings.
Overall this property is amazing. Such a superb location right on the lake. It is vey well equipped. Our main complaint was the fridge & freezer in the kitchen. The fridge needs replacing, door shelves all missing, and freezer was unusable due to very thick ice. We did not find the additional large fridge & freezer in the boot / boiler room, with the washing machine & tumble dryer, until the following day, By then we had tried to cram all our food in the small broken fridge & freezer in the kitchen - a short note in place would have directed us straight to the boot / boiler room with our ...more
Fabulous spot, lovely surroundings, well equipped lodge with great amenities. Within easy reach of the ferry to Hawkshead and some beautiful walks. Loved the welcome goodies and also the 4 lovely ensuite bedrooms - bathrooms top notch, underfloor heating kept us toasty and warm. However the condition of some of the furnishings are tired -stained carpets, footstool of the sofa threadbare and the mattresses on the beds are very uncomfortable - could feel lots of lumps and bumps/springs. Overall we had a great week, loved the setting, the walks and the hot tub.
Lovely area. Remember the swimming pool is only Pre bookable, which may mean you can’t book all your allotted slots for the week if you haven’t done so in advance
Great location for a peaceful holiday with good walks. Fishing lake is opposite and provides a great view but needs to be restocked for a good day’s fly fishing!
Eel House Cottage is right on the quiet main road that runs through the estate and is very convenient for access to the Estate's small shop, Newby Bridge, Hawkeshead or Ambleside for more serious shopping. The whole cottage has been recently given a complete makeover and is in very good order. Kitchen and appliances were particularly new and shiny! The hard floors downstairs are fantastic for canine friends and take no time to clean up if the weather is a bit grim. There were a few small items missing from the kitchen, eg potato masher, and the knives were pretty blunt (as is normal in self...more
Mill cottage was very nice, clean there was everything in the cottage you needed you could not fault the property at all and was lovely having the garden ideal if you have a dog. The location was stunning. So peaceful and quiet and relaxing and just a few minutes walk from the edge of lake was beautiful with the views over the lake. It was a lovely walk along the waters edge. I would definitely recommend Mill cottage.
We had a wonderful time in Derwentwater Cottage at Esthwaite Howe! The cottage is in a lovely peaceful location with Esthwaite water nearby, as well as lots of fantastic places to visit such as Hill Top Farm down the road and Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Coniston all within a short drive. Check-in was easy with a key lockbox and there was plenty of parking. In terms of the cottage itself, it had comfy beds, responsive heating, a powerful shower as well as nice towels and bedding. The log-burner made it feel especially cosy on a cold rainy evening! The team at Graythwaite Estate were fr...more
This is our 2nd time staying in Briar. Everything was great apart from the pillows. Too soft. Would advise people to bring their own if they like firm ones. Other than that everything was 5 star.
Lovely cottage. Very handy for the pool. The snow added the extra magic to the stay. Could just do with a shoe rack
Christmas stay for the family for 8. Plenty of space, very cosy, heating excellent and log fire lovely. Kitchen had all modern amenities and lots of room to cook large family meals. Beds so comfy, slept well. Used pool and games room, great. We had a lovely time and would stay again.
Graythwaite Estate is perfect place to stay for peaceful getaway. This was pur second time staying and we love it. Shop is well equipped and very friendly staff. The cottage was very comfortable and suited us well as a family of 3 with a dog! We will definitely be returning!
After coming to esthwaite farm cottages for many years we have never stayed in the Windermere before, we found it very comfortable and spacious, we like to keep the accommodation tidy but couldn’t find a working vacuum, usually the cottages are very warm and as the weather was very cold it was a bit chilly in Windermere, also there is a deep pothole at the bottom of the driveway that needs filling but apart from that we’ll continue to holiday here
This is our second time at Hazleseat house. It's an amazing house which is now in need of some TLC in a few places e.g. broken door handles, wardrobe rails, cracked tiles and some mould patches on walls and in showers. It's very well equipped for families and has loads of space Nice welcome pack with a few bits in for when you arrive. Check in and out times are such that you need to think carefully about what you're actually getting for your money though, they want you out by 9.30 on check out day which seems a bit much given the price. The cleaning wasn't up to scratch in a few instanc...more
Hammerhole is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, comfortable and warm with plenty of hot water for lovely showers and baths. The location was amazing although the lake was a bit cold for us in February! We used the swimming pool at the main estate twice and the kids loved it. We also did the 4 x 4 driving adventure for my son's 17th birthday which he enjoyed. We hope to come back another time as it was so lovely.
This was our second stay at Esthwaite Howe cottages. The location is perfect for us as my husband likes to go pike fishing on Esthwaite Water. Accommodation is basic but clean and comfortable. The shower cubicle is very small and not easy to negotiate for someone with modest mobility challenges. As this was our second visit we knew the shop wasn't actually on site. We gave directions to two other sets of guests who had expected to find the farm shop on site. The website, and joining instructions should make it much, much clearer how far away the shop actually is.
We took our son and daughter with their families to stay over the New Year period. The accommodation was ideal for us - we had a bedroom tucked away from the rest of the family! Lovely and comfortable living/ dining space with log burner and comfy sofas. Kitchen well equipped. Use of the swimming pool was a bonus. Unfortunately we had poor weather or would have used the children's playground too. The on-site shop was sadly closed for the duration of our stay but they did organise a shopping delivery for us on arrival. Plenty of places to visit by car. Have already booked for Next New Year. ...more
We had such a great stay at Loweswater, mid Feb. Accommodation was very comfortable, bed and sofa great. Always lovely and warm when coming in from a cold walk! Almost everything in the kitchen that you would need (just a lighter or matches would’ve been useful for the fire). Beautiful location, 5 minute walk to a great pub (Tower Bank Arms), with good selection of drinks and delicious food. Beautiful views, and walks nearby down to the water. Even though multiple apartments, could barely hear other people next to, or above you. Fantastic nearby villages and incredible walks/views. Easy bookin...more
Really nice property, plenty of walks from the door and really good value for five of us and a dog. Will certainly stay again!
12 of us enjoyed a family get together at Graythwaite, staying at Grubbings. There were 8 adults and 4 children aged 4-1. Grubbings was ideal for us and the comfortable open plan living area worked very well. The children loved the swimming pool which we were able to book twice in 3 days. We were all very impressed with the whole experience and would certainly recommend Graythwaite to others. If there was to be a complaint it would be that there were not any small child appropriate plates, bowls or cups but that is a small matter that certainly didn`t spoil the holiday.
We had a lovely stay at Greenhowes. The property was functional and cosy and had a spacious living room with a modern and well equipped kitchen. The bathrooms could do with a little updating and the wifi was a challenge! Aside from that we had a nice stay.
We have been coming to Graythwaite for 10 years now , usually for our son's birthday . We have been to Jubilee cottage six times I think and love the homely feel and space it has . We used the pool twice and it could do with a revamp with a lick of paint. The shop is useful for things like fuel but is overpriced for groceries and alcohol , surely it could be cheaper. Laundry a great service especially during the wet weather we had. It was good to see some cottages getting an upgrade .
Lovely apartment with good views. Lovely and warm And well equipped for a winter break . Locket quiet part of the lakes
We were a bit disappointed in our stay at Bassicks at Graythwaite with 4 adults, 1 baby, 2 little dogs. Main problem NO hot water in bathroom all week so we had to use a kettle to fill a baby bath and the adults had to take a bath in a neighbouring property. This problem was reported on Mon/Tues. A workman turned up next day and said he was new. Someone then turned up with a screwdriver and left before checking the water was hot. The dining area is dark, internal and cramped. We expect a part refund. Next problem- noise from upstairs flat and from games room adjacent. Next problem - no en...more
Overall, it is a great location within the Lake District, we have stayed at various Graythwaite properties before. The apartment is small for four people but does provide everything you need. The second bedroom and some of the kitchen have quite a bit of mold, and renovations are needed. The bathroom is very small, just a small shower, basin and toilet; no storage.
The location is outstanding. The apartment is near beautiful Esthwaite water and there is a wide variety of lakeshore, forest or fell walks in the surrounding area directly from your doorstep. The apartment was very clean and extremely comfortable, especially the beds. The kitchen was clean and well equipped in terms of crockery and utensils. However there is no dishwasher and the fridge is very small and hard to access. This is more of an apartment than a cottage but it has character with its thick walls and arched windows. While the windows on the outside could do with a paint, the insid...more
Great location. Cosy and comfortable house but rather shabby now especially the bathroom. In definite need for redecoration.
