Hilltop Reviews

Beautiful cottage however the cleanliness needed some improvement. Behind the sink on the windowsill had alot of mould and dead bugs. Also the carpets wasn't very clean in the living room and bedroom. There was some mould in the ensuite. The slabs on the patio was very lose and was very slippery when wet. I slipped on the slab and because it was lose it fell off the patio and I almost fell back and hit my head which was very dangerous. The cottage was lovely apart from that and had the perfect location!

My family and I had a truly wonderful stay, also, the fire wood and hamper were very much appreciated, thank you! It is a beautiful property with a genuinely breathtaking view of Windermere, we felt like we were miles away from civilisation, which is exactly what we were aiming for. Would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Matthew

Overall brilliant but struggled to find the wood storage around the side when we 1st arrived maybe a few extra signs to find the place would be nice.

Vanessa

This is in a great location quiet and beautiful views with easy reach of lowland and mountain walks. Swimming pool v handy and eco hot tub is relaxing. Only issue is there is NO WiFi despite it being advertised and the TV did not really work v well either. Could be seen as a positive but not if you have teenagers v keen to engage with friends while away!

We loved the cottage, loved the position, loved the hot tub and had a wonderful holiday. A few things need updating. It was difficult to work the television and we even brought our own Apple TV but the set was so old we couldnt connect it. It was difficult to find channels that worked and, sometimes, to find any channels at all. The house needs a new bottle opener and it would be great to be provided with kitchen spray and cooking oil but well bring our own next time. A special mention for Tim at Graythwaite adventure a highlight of many of our trip was the RIB tour of the lake. We also loved having access to the swimming pool and our oldest son actually learned to swim there. The house was brilliantly clean when we arrived and we had a fab time so thank you. Well be back!

William

Our Hilltop review: Wonderful location, very comfortable house with spacious rooms and good facilities. Would have given full marks if second ensuite had shower and cafeteria was not broken on arrival although item was immediately replaced on request so maybe a little harsh.

Robert

Actually, the photos of Hilltop do not do the setting justice! It's a lovely, homely cottage too very clean and pretty comfortable overall!

We had a lovely relaxing holiday in an idillic setting. Lots of lovely walks which our dog loved and some much needed time out for us. Cosy cottage with open fire and a lovely view. Surroundings are stunning and we would definitely go back.

Suzanne

Wonderful setting with all kinds of wildlife to see

We chose Hilltop as it was near the wedding venue on the Graythwaite estate my son had been invited too. I was so pleased I did. Having used other companies in the Lake District they didn't appear to care too much about cleanliness, I was so happy to find this really delightful cottage was spotless, well equipped and so welcoming. Lovely setting which was peaceful and walks from the doorstep. So ideal for our dog who also settled in straight away. Thank you so much for such a wonderful long weekend.
