Glebe Holme Reviews

Christopher
Great family kitchen, diner, and seating area that leads out to patio and hot tub, brilliant for families, as is the gated garden and driveway. . Utility room well equipped, the water was always hot, showers good, nicely carpeted comfortable sofas. The beds look good in photos, but the properties Achilles heel is the mattresses are well past their best, and need replacing. Otherwise defo one nicer holiday homes.
This is a fantastic property with everything you need provided. It has a sky package as well as a hot tub so in relation to other properties the same, it is great value. The location is good, we park 2 large cars easily. We have stayed here 3 times now and rate it our no 1 choice out of many holiday lets and hope to keep on returning. There are TVs in every bedroom invaluable with children as is the small snug room . The property is alway immaculately cleaned on arrival and is a total credit to the owners.
Absolutely amazing house. Bedrooms and bathrooms all clean. Living areas were big and spacious. Out door space was lovely and all enclosed keeping the dog safe. Would highly recommend. I will certainly be looking to book again!
A fantastic cottage finished to a high standard and well maintained The location is great, a 5 minute walk to Lake Windermere itself along qith its bars, shops and restaurants. A Tesco express only a 10 minute stroll into Bownes village itself Our family of 6, and 2 dogs had a great weeks stay over the late May bank holiday and are already looking to book again
Excellent accommodation in good location, short walk to town and shoreline, towels for hot tub now provided which was much appreciated. Kitchen facilities and outside area very good for family use, have booked again for next year. Very happy with our holiday.
Alison
This holiday let is amazing, location is perfect, a very clean house, all on one level, hot tub a lovely added luxury. Everything has been thought of. Im pleased I read previous reviews and knew to take something for when wed been in the hot tub, we took beach towels for each of us to use, spare towels or robes would be useful, or to state they are definitely not included. The only negative wed say, is the house is a bit on the cold side, the bathrooms in particular, and although our stay was over Easter it was really difficult to get the bathrooms to dry out, we were using the bath towels to try and dry them but then after going out all day and returning, the walls were still running with water and the floor was very cold. We did turn the heating up a bit, but the bathroom radiators didnt dry them out. We ate every night in the property, instructions for everything were very clear, every utensil, pot or pan we needed were there! We discovered the Lake District and an added bonus didnt use the car for a few days! Thank you for a lovely stay
Stephen
Excellent cottage very handily located for Bowness. Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation. Would thoroughly recommend and we'll definitely book again.
Great location within walking distance of all amenities in Bowness. The cottage has been renovated to a lovely standard but a few things let it down There are no poolhot tub towels provided so we had to use the bath towels. Not great when you then needed a shower later. Also the outside area had not been cleaned, the table needed a good wipe over and there was dog poo in the garden. Fortunately we have dogs so had our own poo bags but if you are not dog lovers it would have been very unpleasant. Although the main bedroom now has a mirror on the drawers is was useless as its too low and not near a plug for the hairdryer! Lastly, I have never stayed in a property of this standardcost before where there is no welcome pack milk, a bottle of wine, local produce etc provided. Not only that, the teacoffeesugar caddies had also been emptied and anything else other guests may have left. The agents, however had left us their own welcome gift pack a pan scrubber, dishcloth, 2 bin bags, 3 dishwasher tablets not enough when you are there for a week and 20ml washing up liquid. How insulting!
Lovely bungalow, great location, this is our second visit to Glebe Holme. There is everything you could need provided and the addition of sky on 2 TVs when travelling with small children was a godsend for evenings. The property is comfortable and spotlessly clean with plenty of parking for anyone with large vehicles. This property is a credit to the owners.
Alison
Super property. Well equipped. Excellent storage for coats and shoes. Could do with the washing line going across the grass instead of the patio area for dripping clothes after using the hot tub. Otherwise, pretty near perfect.
Adrian
Coffee machine had not been cleaned for some time so we had to clean out congealed milk. Main bathroom drain blocked inside shower resulting in floor needing mopping after every use.
Side door key stuck in lock but later heard this door has ongoing problems. On arrival no travel cot which was requested previously and took several calls to sort out so maybe a travel cot in the property would be a good idea. Although both problems sorted I had to make several calls when all I wanted was a return communication that maintenance were on their way. The problems were minor issues as the property itself is a beautiful property and has been well thought out. The sky tv was a bonus with 2 small children and location is second to none. The kitchen is well stocked and the ice dispensing fridge was a godsend in hot weather. We have already booked Glebe Holme for 2022 so need I say more.
A fantastic location with amenities in walking distance. The property was immaculate. So good that we have booked again for next year!!!!
Really nice properly, well positioned with great facilities. It exceeded expectations.
Sophie
Fantastic cottage. Facilities excellent as was the location. 2nd time to Bowness, would definitely stay here again.
Graham
Having the bifold doors was fantastic it really brought the outside in so you felt included wherever you are. The snug was lovely for the football sad we lost. We had our dog with us and great the garden was fully secure. Would definitely stay here again.

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 13 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 16 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 19 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 25 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
