A great view though. Shower pressure was terrible. ##### Nick M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Dec 2023 #### 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.

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! ##### Brad R.

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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 26 Apr 2024 #### 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!! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Oct 2023 #### Good A wonderfull cosy cottage enough for two adult people. Four people in it is not ideal. A small cottage and only one bathroom. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 23 Oct 2024 #### 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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane M. 18 Sept 2025 #### 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. ##### Jane M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor 26 Apr 2024 #### 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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 28 Oct 2025 #### Grassholme cottage, a nice little cottage Lovely view on Lake Windermere, Quietly situated. Ideal for two people, but can accommodate up to four. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
