Great Stay, beautiful landscape
Absolutely wonderful stay.. We came up for a family wedding and it was so nice to be able to have accommodation near the rest of the family.
The only slight negative point, we would have liked to lit the fire when we arrived as it was cold, but the shop was shut so we couldn't get any logs. but overall a fantastic stay, thank you.

A perfect location for exploring
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.

Great stay, great location
What a peaceful location . Bike and dog walk by the front door. Swimming pool , shop on site. So quiet and what a beautiful setting . The only minor glitch was the WiFi kept cutting out . We accept that happens in the country

Great property
We stayed in greenhowes cottage, was a lovely, quiet little property having everything we needed in it. We greatly appreciated having the use of the private pool which we could book daily. The shop was great to have on hand and the gentleman that ran it was extremely helpful when we asked for recommendations. Great location to explore Windmere, Hawkshead, Ambleside and Grasmere but definitely need a car to explore. We would highly recommend and would stay again.

Weekend in Cumbria
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.

Family stay in Greenhowes
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.

Frequent visitor
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!

Greeenhowes
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.

A weekend with the Grandchildren
An initial problem with hot water ( or lack of it) was remedied quickly …thank you to Matt. This did not mar our holiday.
We deliberately remained on the Estate for the weekend and the Boys’ 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 wouldn’t 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.

Good value for a family for a week
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.
