“Grassholme is a wonderfully decorated and perfectly located property, however it is somewhat lacking in maintenance, cleanliness and basic supplies.”
The positives:
- The carpets, sofas and decorations of the cottage is really very modern and homely
- the cottage is in a stunning location with a fantastic view over Lake Windermere
- it comes with some nice basic food supplies such as freshly ground coffee, tea, biscuits and jam
- the kitchen white goods were of a high quality brand which made use of the kitchen very easy. I normally hate electric hobs but the Bosch hob and oven were brilliant!
- it’s brilliant that dogs are allowed in such a well decorated property, as it is so nice to be able to have our dog with us!
- the Graythwaite estate is wonderful and has plenty of nice walks in the surrounding area
The issues:
- there were no hand towels provided for the bathroom
- various cobwebs and spiders in corners of EVERY room
- there was no hand soap in the kitchen
- there was no kitchen spray or cloth to clean the worktops after cooking
- the curtains were beautiful, however they were poorly attached to the curtain pole with some hooks having come out
- the log fire needs kindling as well as large logs and firefighters otherwise it’s pretty difficult to get the large logs to light properly
- there were no matches to light the fire, so you need your own
- the outdoor furniture definitely needs some TLC, which has been pointed out in a previous review
- the “Grassholme Cottage” sign at the front of the property is completely worn and you can’t actually see why it says
- various walls need a lick of paint from wear and tear
Also, the description of the cottages is incorrect as it is not detached. It is semi detached.
Overall it was a lovely stay which we thoroughly enjoyed and didn’t want to leave!
Thank you for your feedback.
We provide basic cleaning essentials and also have an onsite shop where more can be purchased. We provide a supply of wood and natural firelighters, however if people do wish to use kindling also, this can gain be purchased from our onsite shop.
The property is not described as detached or semi - detached and we do feel the pictures are clear.
