Guests say
Granton Lodge receives glowing praise for its immaculate presentation, luxurious comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Guests consistently highlight the beautiful setting, spacious interiors, and thoughtful touches throughout the property. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District, with easy access to local towns and scenic walks, though a car is recommended. Owners are frequently described as friendly and helpful. While a few minor points are noted, such as the need for a car and occasional warmth in the upstairs bedroom during hot weather, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive and highly recommended.
Multiple reviews describe the property as spotlessly clean, immaculate, and exceptionally well maintained, with particular mention of scrupulously clean bathrooms and overall high standards.
The location is widely praised for its proximity to Windermere, Bowness, and scenic walks. Some guests note the need for a car and mention the walk to Bowness is longer than expected with no pavement, but overall the setting is considered fantastic.
Guests consistently mention the property as warm, cosy, and comfortable, with high-quality beds and spacious living areas. Only a minor comment about the upstairs bedroom being warm in hot weather was noted.
The cottage is described as extremely well-equipped, with everything needed for a stay, including kitchen utensils, reclining sofas, and modern amenities. Maintenance and attention to detail are repeatedly praised.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, biscuits, chocolates, and even treats for dogs. Please note, while these gestures are frequently mentioned, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Rubbing shoulders with prestigious properties in Storrs Park – a location known locally as ‘millionaires row’, Granton Lodge is a detached former lodge house set back on the edge of the manicured gardens of a substantial lakeside property. This fabulous location allows guests views of Lake Windermere across the neighbouring properties and the beautiful sunsets to be enjoyed this side of the lake. A typical early 20th century Lakeland lodge, the property has been sympathetically extended with the loft offering a spacious master suite enjoying lake views. Granton Lodge has elegant good looks, both inside and out, and careful attention to detail in offering guests well-presented comfortable accommodation.
Just a short drive from the centre of Bowness, Storrs Park is ideally placed to enjoy walks from the door to take advantage of its particularly picturesque location. The nearby Hawkshead ferry crossing offers easy access to the west of the lake and nearby typical Lakeland villages offer pubs with open fires, good beer and menus taking advantage of the excellent locally sourced produce. Head into Bowness, for an eclectic mix of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Set on the edge of Lake Windermere, Bowness has a truly Lakeland feel and stunning views across the lake throughout the year. A wander up the hill from Bowness to Windermere offers guests further shops, many fine independent retailers, and an excellent choice of eateries. Shop 2 miles, pub 1 mile and restaurant 200 yards.

A superb property, extremely clean, spacious and beautifully presented. All the comforts of home were provided and the personal touches, new magazines fresh flowers and chocolates on arrival, were a lively welcome. The property was faultless and the property managers, Neil and Andrea, were on hand if anything was needed. The only issue we had was the distance from the property to Bowness, it was longer than we thought, with no path along a busy road, but this had nothing to do with the property itself.

Well presented and comfortable property, with large reclining sofas and a good TV service including Netflix creating a comfortable evening in! Only slight criticism was that it was difficult to keep the upper floor bedroom sufficiently cool in exceptionally hot weather, and it does not have a king-size bed, despite there being enough space for one. A high quality restaurant in a luxury hotel with great lakeside views is only a short walk away. Shops, restaurants and boat cruises are conveniently only a short drive away in Bowness-on-Windermere, although note typically with a minimum 2-hour parking fee.
