About this cottage rental
Dove Cottage is the perfect epitome of a traditional British countryside cottage.
• Your own private patio where your hot tub sits offers postcard panoramas over the Cumbrian fells and historic Graythwaite Hall. You may just spot a lamb or two in the Summertime.
• The living room with its own log burning stove overlooks the park and Hall, with uninterrupted peace and silence on its own little track up the hill beyond the central estate.
• The Cottage is just a short stroll away from the shared Graythwaite facilities, Home Farm shop and the shared swimming pool which you can book into during your stay.
• Lake Windermere which is only a 5-minute drive away, as well as the famed Estate walk up to ‘The View’ just through the forest behind the property. You will not be disappointed.

We had a lovely stay but for the price that cottage would’ve been (we had a heavily discounted price) I wouldn’t have been that pleased with the very poor quality and poor condition of the kitchen utensils, especially pots and pans, strange array of plates (it felt like a jumble of unwanted items cleared out of someone’s house) and bleach stained tea towel. The clock in the kitchen needed a new battery on arrival and it would be nice to leave more than 2 dishwasher tablets for people. The throws in the twin room malted a lot and left green fluff on everything and a second bedside table is needed in the twin room (we used a side table from the living room). Overall it felt as though the cottage needed a facelift and maybe some new furniture. Some better signage to find the cottage would be good and we had a couple of other holiday guests knock on the door trying to find their cottages too, as well as a delivery person so not just us. It was fantastic to have access to the pool and the booking system worked well, the view from the cottage was wonderful and the outdoor bath was great. When we had a problem with the hot water the team were very quick to reply to our email. The welcome hamper was a nice touch with the local produce but the can of Tango was rather random!

We loved staying in Dove Cottage (family of 4). Secluded but easy to get places. Comfortable with everything we needed. Good size rooms and a lovely view from the hot tub. Would recommend.
Would also recommend the archery/axe throwing and clay pigeon shooting activities on the estate- we had a great time!

lovely cottage, but some issues. Lack of saucepans with lids, and no lid for frying pan. Fridge froze all our food, despite being on lowest setting. Cottages was very cold when we arrived, with no kindling or newspaper to help light log stove.
Found a used towel in bathroom and a soiled toilet which were apparently left by some workmen in the days before we arrived.
2nd bedroom very small, barely a double.
But we liked the terrace with lovely view over the estate parkland and the nice walks down to lake Windermere.
Track from the public road is very rough and potholed, needs repairing.

We spent Christmas week in Dove Cottage and were happy to pay a premium to be in a top-end place in a beautiful setting. We had a lovely Christmas holiday, enjoyed the peace, the views, and use of the pool, which is a great facility. However, for the price we paid, we were very disappointed by the standard of the accommodation, which, overall, felt very old and shabby.
- chipped, marked and peeling paintwork on walls
- gaps between skirting boards and frayed carpet/ flooring
- wallpaper peeling off the ceiling
- v low grade carpet- like student halls
- mould in the bathroom
- mould/ condensation around windows
- used towels and tissues found in drawer under bed
- polyfillered holes in the wall
- broken lamp in sitting room
