Fantastic week at Home Farm
Another fantastic week at the beautiful Graythwaite estate, our 11th visit over the last 35 years and will not be our last!
We have stayed in many of the cottages and Home Farm this visit maybe a new favourite!! Newly refurbished it is bright, homely, comfortable and incredibly well appointed with everything you need. The enclosed garden area was totally safe and great for our tiny dachshunds.
Special thanks to Jack the coach for archery and the clay pigeon instructor who provided thoroughly enjoyable instruction this week.

Lovely house for a young family
We stayed in this property by accident! We'd arranged a booking for a smaller property on site and that became unavailable due to a leak. We were re-located to the Home Farmhouse with no extra charge. It's very large for 2 people but it is lovely.
The caveat: I have some back trouble and not great mobility. There was no downstairs room available and there is no downstairs bathroom either, so a lot of climbing of steep stairs with only one handrail. There are also steps up from bedrooms to ensuite bathrooms. This is not the best place for anyone with mobility challenges (and possibly tricky with small children) but would be wonderful for those who are fit and healthy.
There is a lovely garden and garden furniture with this property, and the surrounding woods and feilds are absolutely beautiful. The kitchen is very well equipped and the heating kept the house toasty warm.

Gorgeous place to stay
Amazing as always minus small hiccup of power failure on first night we would suggest an emergency box with candles or torch, emergency contact, keep guests up to date and it would have helped if th3 shop had been opened as we had all just arrived. We stay in the annex of this property we would again suggest to replacement very small dressing table with large chest of drawers, for clothes storage top can also be used as a dressing table thank you

Spacious holiday home.
We enjoyed our stay, the property is spacious and with 6 adults a baby and a dog we were never cramped. There were a couple of minor things that would have improved our stay. Oven trays cheap quality and needed replacing. More Kitchen knives would have been useful. Plenty of cutlery provided but not enough teaspoons. .In one of the bathrooms the taps were very loose from the sink. Also no place to put toiletry's etc in the bathrooms a shelf is all that 's needed .All of these a simple fix. Very dangerous turning onto the main road, a mirror placed so you can see any traffic coming would be handy. We had few near misses when turning right !. The walks around the estate are beautiful and we have never seen so many pheasants . We stayed here to attend a wedding on the estate. Its a great venue and everyone had a wonderful day.

Lovely property as usual
This is the fourth time we’ve stayed in a Graythwaite property and haven’t once been disappointed. The properties are all brilliantly located and of a similarly high standard.
We’ve not booked any activities this year, but have done so in the past and thoroughly enjoyed them. They are easy to book, loads to choose from and well organised.
Home Farm is a really nice property, with lots of space for the whole family and two dogs. Located by the farm shop and near to the pool, but still feels very private.
We will definitely be back and are already looking at booking again for next year.

Great stay at Graythwaite in our second year, already booked for next year
Lovely house - we had Home Farmhouse for our children and grandchildren with the small Briar cottage for ourselves across the courtyard. It's a lovely part of the Lakes and we enjoyed ourselves just as much as last year - coming again next!

Our trip to paradise
The house was amazing; all the comforts of home and more. The kitchen in particular was really well stocked.
One slight blip; the pool had been double booked for our second day.

Spend Christmas there with all the family wonderful location with fantastic walks
Stayed over Christmas with the family beautiful house with everything you need to make a Christmas dinner . Lovely festive feel this a freshly cut Christmas tree and log burner. We took two dogs the field at the back was ideal to let them run freely. Great local walks although the weather was dreadful this didn’t stop us!!
Highly recommend
