A beautiful estate & cozy cottage albeit a little tired. Kitchen well equipped including a welcome hamper. A shoe/boot storage unit would be useful. Swimming pool was non-operational but was offered the use of the Lakeside Hotel & Spa which we did on two occasions. Plenty to keep all ages occupied in & around the lakes. Will certainly return & recommend.
We really enjoyed having such a comfortable home base with the pool and playground for our children and the walks we took through the property. The location was convenient for our sightseeing itinerary and a beautiful place to return to each evening. The kitchen was well supplied and all instructions we received prior to our stay were clear and helpful.
Very comfortable property in lovely location, we rented two houses, Greenhowes and Bibby Lot which are very similar. Properties were warm and well equipped and provisions and firewood were delivered form the as ordered. A lovely base for visiting the area.
The cottage was clean and comfortable and I was very pleased by the prompt response to the lack of hot water in the property and the efforts made to find workable solutions to the problem until it could be sorted out.
The bunk bed was far too large for the room it had been put in, though, making it very hard to manoeuvre.
It would have been helpful to known the limited opening hours of the shop in advance of our stay.
An initial problem with hot water ( or lack of it) was remedied quickly âŠthank you to Matt. This did not mar our holiday.
We deliberately remained on the Estate for the weekend and the Boysâ took full advantage of exploring the woodlands and playing in the ready made den. The swimming pool was also a great hit with them. Our 4x4 activity was fantastic fun (thank you Simon) and we have some wonderful memories.
A great holiday, thoroughly enjoyed by all, although perhaps I wouldnât book this particular cottage again as only having one shower between 6 occupants proved tedious at times.
We will definitely return, hopefully in the not too distant future.
Greenhowes was a simple 3 bedroom cottage good for a family. Kitchen has been updated and had working appliances. The living room and bedrooms had simple and basic furniture that was mostly clean. It would have been nice to be told farm shop was closed ahead of time and also be told of what amenities were actually like. For example, laundry was located in a dark dreary room and housekeeping was usually using it for their rags and sponges. It was difficult to operate dryer/not enough outlets for all the machines to be running. The pool walls have a green gross growth on them. The closets were filled messily. Would be nice to be upfront about no shampoo and body wash. Hand soap and pepper mill were not supplied well initially but quickly taken care of by management. Location is good near Windermere and other attractions.
The location never disappoints and the pool with booking slots, I think is an improvement.
As always I take extra T towels, toilet paper & dishcloths. Might take a sharp knife next time!
