A cosy week in Sawrey. No other guests to be seen...

This is the 3rd time I have stayed at an apartment in this complex - I have been very happy each time. The apartments are cosy, with good facilities (including a free laundry room), comfortable, good heating, nice beds, sofas, lots of kitchenware etc. The location is brilliant, with pubs in walking distance, and nature all around. I really love staying here for a week to recharge my energy.

Each time I have stayed in these apartments the floor in the kitchen has been sticky - they need a mop down after each stay. Please pay the cleaners to do this! I would love to come back to these apartments every year - I have had three great weeks now, but I note that future prices are way higher than I have paid: £369 for December this year (2 rooms); £429 for Easter this year (2 persons); £312 for the previous week at Easter this year (just me). I and my friend are totally happy to pay £400-£450 for a 2-room apartment here, but the future prices are crazy high. I note that we were the only guests here this week - all the other apartments were empty. Is this a good business model? Perhaps Graythwaite might get in touch with me and offer me a good mates-rates price, because I won't pay £500+ for a week here. £400, yes sure, every time. You will get good regular business from a good guest who will respect the property and leave it clean and tidy. Thanks for a lovely stay again and I hope... more stays in the future! :-)

Great stay. Lovely location & value for money.

Spacious, good location.

You could hear the people very clearly in the property below. Also, there was a strange sewage smell in the bathroom.

Beautiful location and comfortable homey stay

The location is beautiful and a 3 minute walk from Hill Top farm. The flat was as described and was very clean.

The double bed was quite uncomfortable and bowed a bit in the middle with 2 people.

Perfect location in a cosy, full of character cottage.

Very central, clean and easy check in. Had a good set up with the bedrooms, especially for our children. beautiful area. Nice character at the property.

We were conscious that as we were on the first floor, our three children might have been loud when pottering around for those staying next door. We only really say that as we could hear downstairs TV and conversations so not sure how well soundproofed it was, however this is only a small comment and would still very much recommend!

Lovely apartment, great location.

Lovely apartment, all rooms were big enough for our needs. Comfortable beds and lounge furniture. Well-equipped kitchen. Plenty of parking on site. Great location, close to Esthwaite water which has a café that serves great breakfast buns and good coffee. A short walk to Hilltop, Beatrix Potter's house. Bus service if you don't fancy driving.

Heaters are dated and programming isn't straightforward but they do work.

Quite disappointing compared to a previous stay at the main estate- not good value for money.

Beautiful location, great playground up the road. Plenty of parking, big second bedroom. Big TV.

No shelves in the fridge! No welcome pack as on our previous stay at a different Greythwaite cottage, table was sticky/tacky & chairs chipped/marked. Walls seemed grubby, shower room was tiny, bath mat was completely soaked on arrival because it was placed in the shower which dripped, mattress in main bedroom was very soft. Kitchen was very small as was dining area, would have been very cramped with it's full capacity of 5 people.

Another cracking week away in the beautiful Lake District countryside

Great location (once we found it 😂) Lovely big walled grassy area for my dog to explore. Had everything I needed for a week away.

Good & Bad!

Near Sawery was a lovely little place, nice and quiet, just right for us, the 2 mile walk into Hawkshead was ok! with 50% public footpath and 50% road

The shower was useless, we could only use it for a couple of minutes before the tray filled up with water, we tried to walk the path to the lake but it was too overgrown for us to go any further, very disappointed!

Loved it!!

Excellent value for money. The cottage was the perfect size and really clean and cosy, which was lovely to come back to after a day of pretty wet walking. The location was stunning, and made for an amazing birthday staycation!!

There was a smell when we arrived , that can only be described as cooking grease or gone off milk.

Utterly fantastic venue which opens doors to explore the Lakes with the comfort of a home from home

Location of the property was fantastic. Layout and cleanliness of the home really impressed us and we settled in like we had lived there for years. Grounds were very well kept and convenient for many amenities within the area.

We did need extra towels for our stay which couldn't be accommodated at the time but its something to factor in for next time we come.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

Very comfortable little cottage as a base to explore the lakes. It's not immediately close to much but good distance from both ends of Coniston and Windemere and very easy access to the car Ferry. Bike store very handy. There are also a picnic area and a dog exercise area. Hosts are responsive to email queries. Homemade cake box up the road!

There weren't many windows in our cottage - nature of the building I guess, but if a view from your cottage is important maybe choose one of the other units. It also just had a small freezer compartment within the undercounter fridge. A spare (communal) freezer is available in the laundry room.

Beautiful location but disappointed with the issues I’ve raised.

Living and bedroom were were very comfortable and clean

Shower room was below par. An over all damp smell . Shower cabinet had quite a lot of mould and there was black gunge at bottom of screen door ( which I attempted to clean away ). Beading along edge is floor was cracked and peeling ( at shower ) . These should be part of regular cleaning and maintenance between quests. Television also wasn’t working. Maintenance did come to deal with this the follow morning. He thought previous quests had changed the internet setting. Surely it would be sensible for housekeeping to check that TV is working when they are cleaning after guests check out. Fridge ice box had no door. When I put food into the fridge it began defrosting. I did not touch the thermostat switch. Maintenance had a look and turned the thermostat to a high setting which did stop the defrosting but I’m unsure if this appliance was keeping food at a safe temperature.
