This delightful cottage with lovely woodland scenes is the perfect setting for discovering the terrain that inspired the likes of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Located on the central estate Home Farm Courtyard, you will be less than a mile from the shores of Lake Windermere.

A great break away - such a lovely little cottage, so handy to the pool (literally right next door!) which we were able to book most days of our stay, and in a great location to explore all the Lakes has to offer.

The Forge was lovely. Good position by the pool and laundry. Playground Still disappointing not much there would be nicer to improve it for older children.

Pool as usual lovely and warm. The children all love it. We have been three times now, we have stayed at Bull Pen twice. It was much improved the second time. We did complain the first time but the improvements were clear to see the second time.

The shop was closed every time we went down which was a nuisance and we could not understand why this was. That was our only criticism.

The rest of our family were staying at Grubbings which had been booked by our son Trevor Smith. It was great. We did have a couple of minor issues that we will tell your office. All of our children and grandchildren had a wonderful time. They swam in the lake, very brave. My dear husband had died recently so it was so helpful to be with my family, knowing how much he would have enjoyed it too.

Definitely be back again.

My son Trevor lives in San Diego and he and all his family love it here and always want to come each year. They say it is their most favourite place.





A perfect place to stay for peace and quiet , the house was very comfortable and well appointed

Please see Bibby Lot revirew, as this applies to all 4 of the properties we stayed in as a family. It was perfect for our purposes.
We appreciated the water sports on Windermere which was part of Graithwaite. Many thanks

This was our second stay in Graythwaite cottages. Very enjoyable and comfortable. We would like to thank Marina, Lesley and Matt for all their assistance in helping make our stay. It would be really helpful to have a pack of the manuals for the cottage equipment(cooker, dishwasher, TV and video), I shouldn't have to search for them online!



Great stay

Nice cottage in a great location. Decoration and furnishings were very good. Heating was good. Pool was great. Kitchen could have been a bit better equipped but was ok. Farm shop prices were very high. Would stay again.
