“We really enjoyed our stay at Fairfield Cottage.”

We were a group of 3 adults and one child and it was great to have a bathroom for each adult. I could lay all my toiletries out in the main bathroom which was great. The beds were super comfy and cozy and there was plenty of room in the dining room and sitting room. ...

We were a group of 3 adults and one child and it was great to have a bathroom for each adult. I could lay all my toiletries out in the main bathroom which was great. The beds were super comfy and cozy and there was plenty of room in the dining room and sitting room. There were just a few very minor things which might have just perfected our stay. It might have been good to have a couple of kitchen rolls in the kitchen and some soap/ shower gel in the bathrooms. Other than that I think this cottage is in a lovely location- with easy walking distance to Grasmere and is very comfortable indeed. I think we will book again for next year!

“Hi, sorry for the delay in replying.”

We thought the accommodation was excellent. Very clean, tidy, everything we needed was provided and the location is brilliant. We had 3 cars (as we arrived from 3 different places) so the parking was a bonus. Some years ago we stayed nearby, so we knew the area and that we could walk to the Traveller's Rest for a meal, which was great. Many thanks and we would highly recommend. Best regards, Clive

“Fairfield Cottage was terrific.”

Great location, just a short walk (about 10 mins) to the centre of Grasmere. Being on the sunny side of the valley, it had sun throughout the day and great views. We did a lot of walking from the property, almost completely off-road. The cottage was well equipped and the beds were comfy. The showers were good, with decent pressure and plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped. Could have done with a few more cooking knives and some tongs, but that is me just being picky (constructive criticism). The cottage was as described and met all our expectations. There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy a glass or two before going out for dinner in the village. We stay in the Lakes at least once a year and this cottage is in our top two at the moment.

“All bathrooms smelt of drains, very unpleasant.”

For a cottage for 6 people, the saucepans were small and inadequate. Not room for 6 people to sit in the lounge, only seats for 5. Surprised there was no milk in the cottage on arrival, especially for a 4* Gold Aware property.

- Sarah, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that there were certain aspects of the property that you were not happy with. We were not made aware of any issues with the drains during your stay and we have since investigated but found no issue. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage with picturesque views.”

Would definitely use the same cottage again. Just a pity it was not dog friendly.

“Property was in excellent location and very well presented.”

It had everything we needed and we would certainly stay there again.

Jonathan October 2021

“Property was excellent but a couple of things- the lighting in the en-suite was inadequate in particular no mirror lights.”

We tried to ring Sykes 15 times on the arrival day during opening hours but could not get through so very unhappy with this

Fabulous.

“The very high standard of the accommodation and it’s perfect location including views”

Aileen August 2021

“Fabulous location, spacious and well equipped.”

Only criticism is the standard of bedroom 3. Two of bedrooms are lovely, comfortable beds and modern en-suites. Third bedroom smells damp has 2 mismatched single beds with plastic mattress cover and poor one poorer quality duvet. Felt my son and partner had drawn the short straw! Other than that an excellent place to spend a walking holiday and would use it again.

Emma June 2021

“Lovely cottage which provided plenty of space for 4 adults and a young child.”

The layout of the cottage offered plenty of privacy to couples and numerous bathrooms. The setting of the house is ideal, being walking distance to grasmere, several pubs/restaurants and the public bus all while being surrounded by nature. The peaceful setting made for a good nights sleep. There is also the added bonus of the health club access which we enjoyed. Would definitely return to Fairfield Cottage. To improve the kitchen facilities further additional larger glasses, wine glasses, baking trays and a few more sharp knives could be supplied. Otherwise it’s a well equipped kitchen. A few more plug adapters could help, especially in bedrooms and lounge. Might also benefit from a regular deep clean in those hard to reach areas eg behind beds and cabinets.

- Emma, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mrs Clegg. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now fed back to the owner and our housekeeping team. They have taken on board all the points you have raised and will action as soon as possible. Thank you once again for your constructive feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future.

“We really were impressed with Fairfield Cottage.”

Views were amazing. Just to mention garden area which is not enclosed. We had a toddler in our party so be aware that there is no grassy area to let off steam. Also we did have a problem with shower screen in main bathroom. After advising Lakelovers a maintenance man was quickly on the scene to sort. We really enjoyed our stay. Would certainly recommend Lakelovers and we will be back.

“Mostly the cottage met our expectations.”

In fact it was spotless but the third bedroom, which luckily we didn’t have to use, had a strange smell. Also the washing machine seemed to be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. All in all though it was a lovely little cottage with spectacular views.

John May 2021

“The property is in a lovely position with beautiful views across the valley.”

The accommodation is spacious and everything works properly. Some of the furniture is looking a little dated. There was very little information about the cottage unlike other Lakelovers properties we have stayed in apart from one A4 sheet stuck inside one of the kitchen cupboards. In overall terms however Fairfield makes a great base to explore and enjoy the Lakes.

Patricia April 2021

“A lovely cottage, very comfortable in a great position, nice walk into grasmere great views, everything and more was provided.”

We would definitely stay here again , I would say that the outside area is not really suitable for a small child. Other than that it was fab.

“Excellent accommodation for our family get-together, somewhere cosy to return to each November evening and with plenty of space for everyone.”

The location is excellent, within walking distance of Grasmere Village and with some beautiful walks nearby. The Autumn tints were spectacular.

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.
