A lovely spot

Nice place, shame there was no access to the lake. A great view though. Shower pressure was terrible.

Graythwaite Estate highly recommended

Our forth visit this year to another beautiful cottage on the edge of Lake Windermere. Again the staff went well beyond what is expected of them by coming to meet us on the main road to take us to the cottage by back roads because of road closures and snow. Due to the weather we just had a very relaxing four days in the well equipped cottage, beautiful scenery walks from the cottage and visiting Ulverston and Ambleside. Already looking forward to out next visit.

So memorable, we would love to go back!

We had a wonderful four days at Grassholme, loving the walks by the lake and hikes just a short drive away. (It helped that we had amazing weather, much sunshine and just a few passing showers.) It was really convenient to order provisions in advance and have the refrigerator stocked when we arrived. The one small negative was the lack of water pressure in the shower, which was okay at best, but we all embraced long baths. We'd love to go back in the summer and try out more of the adventure activities. Highly recommend!

Beautiful spot - cottage needs a revamp

Looking across a crisp Lake Windermere, wood burner roaring, with great access for walking in the Southern Lakes - made this cottage a good place to stay for a week. That said, the damp in the master bedroom, the stains on some walls, and poor condition of parts of all rooms, made the cottage seem tired and in need of some TLC. This didn’t reflect the outstanding photos and the price - work needs doing to revamp much of the internals before I’d recommend. Can’t fault the location though.

Not quite the described luxury

I personally wouldn’t classify this cottage as luxury- yes it’s very comfortable and nicely done but not luxury. The doors/ windows etc are old and need replacing, the terrace views are STUNNING but there’s a rusty bbq in the corner, weeds growing and furniture needs repainting. Bathroom, again is ok, but certainly not luxury. It’s also next door to a privately rented cottage that is in quite a bad state. It’s a nice cottage and the location is quite incredible but questionable on some of the descriptions!!

A wonderfull cosy cottage enough for two adult people. Four people in it is not ideal. A small cottage and only one bathroom.

Lovely cottage , ideal for two people.

It's a pity there is no big casserole in the kitchen. Would be better to prepare some meals There is a lot of air in some radiators and that makes strange noise

Great patio by water but cobwebs everywhere and disgusting under settee cushions

The patio is overlooking the lake and a beautiful place to sit - great furniture. The cottage is well equipped but do take toilet rolls. There are cobwebs everywhere and when I moved the settee cushions it was disgusting with crumbs and rubbish. Two of the towels were worn out. Special request to remove feathers not actioned - claimed not received, first email to ask for help also claimed not received.

Lovely cottage let down by plumbing

This cottage has been recently refurbished so should have been in good working order. The plumbing has let down our stay hugely. Shower not working and very small amount of hot water insufficient to run a bath. I notified the estate management immediately and still no one has been to repair the property. We have been staying at Graythwaiye for over 20 years and this will be out last
