The house is in a gorgeous location and the bedrooms and bathrooms were fine. I wanted to contact you though as the house is in no way worth the 5750 we paid for a week over Christmas. Ill list some of the issues Chipped mugs, mucky sofa and chair, clogged up hot tub I have photos, really mean welcome pack 4 firelighters, 7 dishwasher tablets, 1 loo roll in each loo some processed orange juice, nice biscuits and coffee. Bit mean for 10 of us at that cost, bathroom extractors not working as full of fluff, food left in a cupboard, fridge freezer in need of defrosting and extra freezer outside was muddy inside! Kitchen tap loose. Nowhere near enough hooks for coats, outside lighting not suitable for hot tub. The hot tub is obviously not cleaned out between visits. It was not warming the water anywhere near enough and the water was not flowing round the system. Eventually we flushed the filters with the hose and a large amount of stinking dead skin and hair came out! It did work after that but not really what one would expect from what is purported to be a luxury holiday venue. This was a big treat holiday for us and we made the most of it because we were all together after the death of our Mum but the facilities and cleanliness for that astonishing amount of money is dreadful. You really need to review the cottages you recommend more closely. I imagine that the estate and you dont really care if you dont get repeat bookings and there will always be someone new drawn in by what appears to be a perfect place. Ill be interested in your response.

Wonderful house spotlessly clean. Big comfy beds just needed a little touch up with some of the decor but this did not detract from this wonderful house. Would highly recommend it and we would book here again.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday! The property was ideal for us with a downstairs bedroom and ensuite for our elderly parents. The dining table was great and the open plan layout meant we could all be together whilst cooking. The downstairs shower room and toilet was very useful. The beds were extremely comfy and the house was warm and cosy. The location and views were amazing and we benefited from lovely weather during our stay. We were able to sit outside and the fire pit was well used, with a plentiful supply of logs. However given the price of the property we did have some niggles. The dishwasher did not work properly which meant we had to rewash many of the dishes. The dishwasher had been mentioned in other reviews so should have been replaced by now. The cleanliness in the bathrooms could be improved mould and cobwebs. The barbecue was filthy so we didnt use it luckily we had brought disposable ones. The shelf in the fridge door was faulty meaning bottles fell out when you opened it. These problems did not spoil our holiday but just need to be rectified for other guests. The price was premium, the view was premium but the house a little unloved!

Weve just returned from a wonderful stay at Hammerhole. The cottage, facilities and location are absolutely tip top. Weve had a wonderful time kayaking on Windermere, enjoying the beautiful local walks in stunning, picture book scenery and exploring some of the local towns. We also took advantage of the indoor swimming pool which is nearby and great for kids and adults alike. The cottage itself is warm, well appointed and comfortable. Theres almost an ensuite for every bedroom and the additional downstairs shower room was a boon for the slightly less mobile among us. Theres also a well appointed kitchen, a huge dining table and comfy sitting room area. Outdoor space is absolutely blissful with a private garden abutting the lake, a beach area, small wood, lawned area and your own jetty. We didnt use the hot tub this time but would definitely fire it up next stay!. Theres also a useful utilitydryingstorage room alongside the cottage. The Graythwaite company and owners have been excellent to deal with, and we honestly couldnt have asked for a better experience.

It was a beautiful cottage with really comfy beds and a lovely welcome box too. Wed love to return.

Our Hammerhole review: We got snowed in at the house , such a stunning place we didnt mind! ! The facilities , location and surroundings are wonderful. The estate staff are amazing , so helpful and supportive feel like we made new friends.

Excellent accommodation, beautiful location. Well maintained property and facilities. Highly rated Book now !

A gem of a property, we had a fabulous stay thank you Graythwaite. We made use of the Estates facilities including shop and swimming pool. The property details which Lakelovers have are not 100 correct, we had to call the Estate Office to check a couple of matters, the lady we spoke to at Graythwaite was very helpful.

Fabulous cottage. We were a group of wild swimmers and the location and facilitates were just perfect .what a fabulous location .the hot tub was amazing a word of caution one of our group stepped out and the steps upended and took a very nasty fall , if the steps have not been secured down or a wider set purchased please take a lot of care getting out ..two weeks later she still cant sit down ! We also ran out of wood and didnt read about getting it from the shop so make sure you take spare or buy it in AdVance Otherwise was fabulous highly recommend ,

Firstly this a beautiful cottage situated on the lakeside and we had a fabulous weekend stay with friends however as a premium listing with a premium price we expected more For 10 people there were just enough mugs , not enough wine champagne glasses for everyone to enjoy a glass of fizz , only 4 dishwasher tablets provided for the whole weekend and no basic condiments which we have previously had in similar properties ! We also had to go out to buy pan scrubs , fire lighters only 4 provided and more toilet rolls It would have been nice to sit outside as the weather was very pleasant , however the garden furniture was dirty and unkept so this wasnt possible The WiFi was unnecessarily complicated to access and there was no spare key for the property , which we reported to the Graythwaite estate on arrival via their helpline unfortunately this issue wasnt resolved before leaving By ensuring basic items were provided would have definitely made a noticeable difference to our weekend stay
