Lovely and Relaxing

Such a beautiful place with loads of special touches! Still can't get over the breathtaking views and really convenient walk into Grassmere village or along to the lakeside. Beautifully comfortable for our family vacation and everything was well equipped. Would highly recommend! Struggling internet connection was definitely frustrating. Maybe make guests aware in listing? The kitchen and baths were sparking, but a little bit of the rest of the house was a little different - a bit of dust in the bedrooms and the garage was a bit dirty. Not a huge issue but just thought we'd mention it. Overall was delightful!

The best view ever!

The views were amazing. Spacious for a large group. Well equipped. I didn't recieve details of how to enter the property until the day before we were due to start our holiday. Apparently the property manager was away the week before and had sent the details to Finest retreats to pass onto us but the did not. When I contacted FR to ask again for the details they just said 'reach out to the property manager" As she was on holiday and out of reach this was not very helpful. I was beginning to think the holiday was a scam and that I had paid nearly £3000 for nothing. Please sort this out as I couldn't start to look forward to the holiday as I didn't know it was actually going to happen.

Family Trip

Loved the location ,the views were amazing and the private access to the lake was great for our paddle-boarding. Lots of walks locally so from the door which was great. The property was beautiful plenty of room for us as a family of 7 adults. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch . We will be back x The only thing we noticed was there was no kindling or firefighters but we managed.

Hello Susan, Thank you for your review. I am so pleased you had a spectacular stay. Sounds like you had a wonderful time paddle-boarding and exploring the beautiful surroundings on your walks. I am glad the welcome hamper started your stay on a positive note. Thank you for your feedback. I hope you will book again with us in the future.

This was one of the best stays we've ever had.

The position was stunning, views over the lake were a joy to experience, particularly if you're an early riser. The house is so spacious and the right temperature. We were there with our family (6 people) and there was room for everyone to have their own space and enjoy being together. The lounge area is perfect with huge sofas for everyone to chill after a day's exploring. The kitchen is great space and equipped with everything you could need and there were more bathrooms than we could have wanted. The garage table tennis was great fun for everyone :) Hannah our contact was very communicative and helpful at all times. I felt I could rely on her completely in the event of needing assistance. Fantastic stay, and wonderful memories made. Thanks so much!!

We had such a wonderful relaxing 3 nights staying here!

The large windows in the lounge offer such breathtaking views over Grasmere - we visited Tarn Hows and were actually a little underwhelmed, and when we got back realised that it was because the views there had nothing on what the property offered! It was so lovely to wake up early and see the early morning mist rolling across the lakethe shadows falling across the fells as the sun sets. Just magical. There is plenty of hikes directly from the door and an easy stroll into Grasmere so you don't have to worry about paying for parking. There's also a lovely little loop down along the shoreline towards Rydal Water and back along the lane if you just want a smaller late evening stroll. The drive is very steep initially from the road (definite first gear territory!) but do-able if you take it carefully. And thankyou for the incredibly generous welcome basket, it was much appreciated after a long drive to get there. Would recommend!
