About this cottage rental
Bibby Lot is a lovely, terraced cottage in the heart of the Estate, just a short distance away from the shores of lake Windermere. Perfect for a family getaway, this serene cottage offers comfort, beauty and convenience for your stay in the lakes. On the ground floor you will find the spacious living area, with the kitchen/ dining area adjacent. Upstairs on the first floor are the bedrooms – the master double, two twin rooms, each bedroom with natural light flowing inward through the large windows overlooking the courtyard. Outside, there is a shared space for BBQs and a dining set for Al Fresco dinners. The Graythwaite Home Farm Courtyard truly is the beating heart of the Estate – accessed via the iconic and enchanting trail bordered with cherry blossom trees, you are truly entering a very special place. Here, you will be less than a mile from the shores of Lake Windermere where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake without the hustle and bustle, or even book in an action-packed activity with the star-studded Graythwaite Adventure. The Courtyard is within easy reach of our fabulous facilities, such as the communal heated swimming pool which can be booked in advance of your stay and the home farm shop offering locally produced products. You are also able to pre-order groceries and treats from the shop to be ready in your property for you when you arrive! You are also welcome to make use of the communal games room, the communal dining and BBQ facilities dotted across the courtyard and children’s play area, found through the historic and rustic stone walls of the Courtyard leading out through the forest and natural surroundings beyond.

Bibby Lot is a self-catering property for up to six people. It has six beds (and even two refrigerators!), but we found the dining table and the space around it weren't really large enough for us to sit and eat together comfortably (and we're not large), particularly if someone needed to get to the stove or the fridge. As is often the case with self-catering properties, the kitchen equipment was a bit of a mismatch: mystery lids, a largest saucepan of only 2 litres, a pizza cutter but no bottle opener, and several items that had seen better days. This was surprising because the kitchen itself appears to have been recently fitted and is very attractive. In our experience, though, it wasn't especially well equipped for guests who enjoy cooking or eating together.
Similarly, although the shower room also looked like a recent installation, there was nowhere convenient to hang towels or put toiletries.
Given the number of dogs and young children on the estate, it might also be helpful to warn guests about ticks in advance or provide a tick remover.
That said, these points may matter less to some visitors, particularly because Bibby Lot is surrounded by beautiful countryside. It's about a 20-minute walk to Lake Windermere and one of the nicest wild swimming spots I've visited. Some of our group also made good use of the swimming pool.

We stayed for a week and had a great time. The pool is excellent, the location is great, the staff were lovely but we will probably not be coming back because we get no mobile signal at the property whatsoever and the wifi kept cutting out after about 5 mins or so. It made it really hard to take check my work emails during the week and plan any trips and our teen was not happy. Shame. Great place otherwise. We might try one of the other properties as the mobile signal was ok anywhere outwith the group of properties.

Had a great short break which was enjoyed by all. Tired grandkids and dogs each day as we enjoyed walks on the Estate. This is our 4th visit back to the Graythwaite Estate (each time we’ve stayed in a different property ) and we will return again.
Cottage worked well for us, although it was a squeeze in the kitchen when we all sat down to eat. I think had we been 6 adults this would have been very uncomfortable.
Access to the swimming pool was an added bonus as on our last visit this was out of action.
Great memories made !

Needs an upgrade in the bathroom with a better shower, pressure was awful and extractor fan wasn’t working. Mould on shower screen.
Kitchen very nice and well equipped. Living area needed the sofas cleaning.
The bedrooms are very small for 6 adults sharing. Ideal for children not all adults. Beds uncomfortable and creaky. The location was great as had a family wedding at a nearby venue.
