What our customers say about their holidays

  • Benjamin - Verified booking

    The pool situation was joke, having so many cottages all trying to book their 45 minute slots is bad enough without the pool being closed for two afternoons in the week for private children’s swimming lessons!

    ! This was outrageous! Not only was it unfair on paying guests it also brought traffic and destruction to our stay. We could not park near our cottage due to parents of local children who came for their swim lesson, the instructor and parents of the children were loud and inconsiderate to holiday makers, we were trying to have a bbq while sitting opposite a line of parents waiting for their children to finish their lessons. This felt entirely money grabbing of the estate! And not covid safe either! If the pool is only available for a maximum of 45 mins per day IF YOU ARE LUCKY then this should be advertised as such as we would not have booked it for our family holiday. Other than this the cottage was totally satisfactory however I agree with other online reviews there was no luxury touches what so ever. The photographs are misleading. The prices for this cottage in 2022 are outrageous and it would require serious improvement to warrant them. We took a break from our farm in Yorkshire to visit grubbings and due to the “private” swimming lessons felt like we had booked a week in Piccadilly. Incredibly unfair and disappointing.

    On the plus side: The location of Parkgate couldn't be better.

    Walking distance to Windermere and Bowness with all their fabulous amenities, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Lovely big house, 9 people, a baby and dogs and we had plenty of space. Great kitchen, well stocked and a lovely big oven and hob. Great WiFi. On the downside..... The lounge furniture was so uncomfortable. The springs had gone in both sofas so once you sat down you are practically on the floor and can't get up. So we couldn't really relax together at night. They desperately need replacing. The bunk beds are too small, okay for very small children but any older and they're not practical. One of the single beds was listing, felt like I would roll out. Garden not as shown in the listing. It's been shortened to allow for more parking.....a good thing but we had two dogs so needed that space more. The 'lean to' conservatory was rough and ready, not practical and grubby but okay to sleep the dogs. However, the good stuff far outweighs the bad, so we would definitely go back BUT, those SOFAS need replacing.

    Disappointed in the cleanliness of the Grubbings lodge this year, kitchen/lounge area floors were dirty in fact the kitchen floor was filthy don't think it had been cleaned for several weeks.

    The cleaning team are only teenagers who obviously don't know how to wash floors etc This time there was no smell of any disinfected been used in the kitchen or bathrooms. Also not checking the glasses and crockery. The furnishings ware also getting rather shabby now think need to be changed or at least refurbished. No sitting area as previous years the rattan seating has gone!! which is essential we all would like somewhere to sit in a relaxing area after been out all day, or even someone like me at 71yrs who doesn't want to go walking or out all day and who goes to Graythwaite cottages for a relaxing break now there is no where to sit....think you need to have a rethink about the outside areas more comfortable rattan seating needed, spoke to most of the quests and all of the same opinion....so Im guessing you will get quite a few bad feedbacks this year. A response to the above would be appreciated. Also why was the gym not open?

  • Graham - Verified booking

    We had the most wonderful family holiday in Loughrigg Cottage 26/05/23-02/06/23.

    The house was very comfortable, well equipped and ideally situated for us. We loved the amazing scenery and views. There were a couple of issues that we would like to mention to you: 1. Although generally very clean and well maintained, on arrival there were extensive thick, dense cobwebs in the dining area and around most of the interior window frames! Thankfully I was able to remove most of these with the feather duster and vacuum cleaner prior to the rest of the family arriving. 2. The bed/mattress in the larger front bedroom (without an en-suite) is reportedly uncomfortable/creaky. I am aware though that mattress comfort can be subjective matter! 3. My adult daughter, who has MS, commented that a handrail by the garden steps to the patio would be extremely helpful to anyone with mobility difficulties. Overall, a beautiful holiday property that we would (and have) recommended to others.

  • Teresa - Verified booking

    The house is lovely and well equipped BUT the limited access to hot water was a BIG problem and took 4 days of phoning to be sorted.

    This property is expensive to hire in the high season and hot water is required during the day for many reasons. Our young people had to have cold showers when they came in from activities and this is unacceptable. Unless the owner agrees NOT to do this again, as he has control through an app, this property is NOT suitable for the majority of families for example, families with babies and toddlers need access to hot water, active people need showers after a day outdoors participating in activities that the Lakes are renowned for and anyone elderly or with certain disabilities may also require access to hot water . The water problem is the reason why I have marked this property so low and that is a great shame as it would have been scored highly if that had not happened.
