    “For this intergenerational family holiday we chose this house because it did not allow pets and looked modern in the photos.”

    Indeed because of the house layout this actually worked well as each area gave some privacy The managing company responded well to emails sent over this holiday period. We agree with previous comments that the turn into the drive for Underhowe is a tight one. It might be helpful to have a house name indicated on the corner of the lane leading to the house.

    Indeed because of the house layout this actually worked well as each area gave some privacy The managing company responded well to emails sent over this holiday period. We agree with previous comments that the turn into the drive for Underhowe is a tight one. It might be helpful to have a house name indicated on the corner of the lane leading to the house. When we arrived at the house for our christmas break we found a house without any sign whatsoever..ie no tree or any decoration. It would have. been nice to have had a welcoming pack on arrival with a pint of milk and some bread and biscuits as has been the case in all the other properties we have stayed in. Indeed but for the managing company's small cleaning kit there was absolutely nothing. We apppreciate that there was no mention of anything such as firewood etc but it would have been nice to have had some. This has been the norm in all our other rentals. The first bedroom we entered was cold but the agents instantly sent around very helpful plumbers (twice ) to sort out our issue. They explained that as the heating stat for the bedrooms was at one end of the corridor that end itself got hot . The plumber turned down the stat which made the first room heating turn on but it only remained on if the bedroom door was kept open. The instruction folder left in the kitchen did not explain how the kitchen gadgets worked or where we should empty the 4 bins provided. We searched for external food waste collection receptacle and recyclable but found none. The folder has no local walks or attractions shown in it.. The TV controller for one of the rooms was missing. The dishwasher worked well but appears to have rollers missing or loose to the basket. The mottled saucepan leaks badly. The temperature in the shower in the main bathroom was too hot and could not be turned down to a comfortable level and the lack of a soap container made using the shower difficult. The hose for the bottom hand held section is broken and needs replacing. Tw of the chairs in the dining room had loose legs. Overall it was a lovely house in a lovely setting but a little more attention to detail and fixing issues already raised by previous tenants would have made our stay perfect

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
