Green Stile Cottage Reviews

Wonderful cottage and fantastic location. Comfortable beds and loads of towels which was handy with having the hot tub there, which was also great. Perfect for exploring the Lakes, close to BownessonWindermere and Ambleside, with Hawkshead close by too via the car ferry. The WiFi and Smart TV worked well, which was helpful to entertain the kids whilst cooking dinner. Kitchen is small but has everything youd need if you dont want to eat out everyday. Modern bathroom with a great shower. Only slight negative was that the website says dogs are allowed but when booking, it turns out they arent, so the website needs updating. Perfect cottage for the Lakes, well definitely be back.
Green Stile is a lovely cottage with great facilities, well finished and very homely. I was specifically looking for somewhere with a hot tub and it makes a special extra touch. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay nearby to the amenities of Bowness but sufficiently rural for a peaceful and relaxing stay.
Excellent response when we had heating and hot water issues. Shrubs on the driveway could do with being cut back.
Brilliant family holiday. Superb cottage very clean and comfortable.Hot tub was ready for use on arrival . Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Outstanding! !! Everything we expected plus so much more
We really enjoyed our stay at Greenstile Cottage. I was a little apprehensive booking it due to a small number of critical reviews, but our experience was fine. Nice little cottage in a great location, a short drive from Bowness Although finding parking when you get there is another matter! and Windermere. The cottage is perfectly fine for a family holiday with the highlights being the hot tub and the conservatory which my partially sighted partner in particular loved because it's nice and bright. It did take me a few days to get used to some the low doorways, I did manage to hit my head a few times before I remembered to duck, but that's period properties! A few ideas to make things even better...somewhere to put the shower gel or soap in the shower, picking up a slippery bar of soap off the floor can be tricky! Fix the refrigerator door to the outer cabinet door, as at the moment you have to open the fridge from the top, and our little people couldn't reach! Finally, a little thing, a wooden spoon or spatula for the kitchen for those self caterers who cook! Loved it, would we stay again, definitely!
Gorgeous cottage. The house is comfortable and spacious. It had everything we could have needed. There is a massive smart TV with comfortable sofas. The bedrooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. The garden was so beautiful with patches of wild flowers and stunning views. The hot tub was an absolute highlight and fit four adults inside with space to spare. Can't wait to go back!
Sheena
Great Location & Hot Tub. Poor Maintenance POSITIVES great rural location near Bowness, lovely garden with hot tub overlooking valley, light conservatory dining room, cosy living room, well planned small kitchen, good shower NEGATIVES Maintenance our holiday was marred by constant issues including no running water for a day water was delivered to us, but no showers were possible, heated towel rail not working, no light in outbuildings or hallway bulbs?, hot tub privacy screen not retracting, electric car recharger not working on last day, plug in bathroom sink not holding water, wardrobe drawer knob unattached, mixing bowl cracked. Sykes. It was difficult to speak to the staff as we always got the message we are experiencing longer than normal wait times. They offered to resolve the maintenance problems but we didnt want the inconvenience and hassle of tradesmen calling during our stay had to for the water problem. Cleanliness Outside and outbuildings not sweptcleaned and no outside broom to do it. Bathroom dusty. Bedrooms 2nd bedroom mattress saggy. All duvets too thick for summer Intrusive neighbour male on driveway said owns near house, and dog barked at us in hot tub and in conservatory was called back. OTHER Garden Furniture Sykes incorrectly told us there were none. There is a table, umbrella, 6 chairs some arms rusty and 2 reclining chairs. We wasted precious car boot space taking our 2 Fishermens chairs. Not provided bread knife, measuring jug, butter dish, biscuitcake tin, plastic picnicware especially glasses for hot tub, kitchen scales, oven gloves, thin kitchen handtowel, laundry basket, clothes airerline for swimwear, outdoor broom
Katherine
Green Stiles cottage was gorgeous. The house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It had everything we could have needed. There is a beautiful conservatory where we ate our meals when we werent eating in the garden as the weather was fantastic. Theres a massive smart TV with very comfy sofas. The bedrooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. The garden was just so beautiful with patches of wild flowers and stunning views. Our kids played in it for hours. The hot tub was an absolute highlight of the stay, especially during sunset. The house was perfectly situated for us to spend lots of time on Windermere and do lots of local walks around Ambleside, Tarns Hows, Rydal Water etc. We had a slight issue one day and it was fixed really quickly with good communication. Cant wait to go back!
Andrew
We had consistent problems with the hot tub during our stay. It failed to hold temperature and only on one night was it at an acceptable warm temperature. There were frequent error codes and a visit by an engineer just resulted in a work around putting on the jets. Not an option when you are out all day and come back to find it's at 18 degrees. This is a great shame because in all other respects the cottage is excellent.
So not seeing the comments, I didnt realise the hot tub wasnt working. However and thankfully as and engineer, I fixed the horrible and got to enjoy on the last night.. So as of 15th feb the place is fully fictional
Michael
Wonderful cottage, quiet and quaint as advertised, lovely to get in front of a lovely log burner after wet and windy walks. Would love to return and defiantly recommend to anyone else looking at this property. Geordie
Stephen
Lovely clean cottage. Vews are absolutely lovely everything from home to home provided .Hot tub with views top notch .Definitely be back soon .
Would love to go back,home from home it certainly was. Directions were easy enoughSykes info excellent.But if you are travelling from the South and especially in the dark,rain etc....watch your speed as you will miss the turngate.The gate is bright enough to see.The views, amnienities make the experience very worthwhile and you are within shouting distance of Windermere.Aiming to go back at some stage for sure.....if you are tall low beams and if you don't like spiders don't go in September!!...They are by no means criticisms though, beautiful place.
Melanie
Beautiful cottage in an ideal location for exploring the Lakes. The house had all we needed as a family of four. The rooms are well furnished with traditional features and modern design. The outside space was fantastic with countryside views from the hot tub and a private patio area for outside dining. We really didn't want to leave!
Steven
Lovely cottage just perfect
Green stile cottage is very cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was the highlight of our holiday! The only thing I felt it lacked was a washing line to hang towels and swimwear after being in the hot tub! Would definitely recommend.
The cottage is in a wonderful spot with great countryside views. The facilities were excellent including everything you need linen, towels, tea towels etc. All the rooms were nicely decorated and still felt modern despite all the great period features. I would note the key collection said the safe was on the wood store but its been moved to next to the front door. We also found the front door key rather stiff struggled to get the key out so used the patio door key for the rest of our stay. 100 would stay again!
Benedict
Really lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. We loved the hot tub! Only very minor faults kitchen somewhat underequipped for those who, like us, mostly selfcater no cheese grater, no colander, no fish slice, no whisk, no baking trays. We found it quite tricky to find the cottage for the first time due to the entrance gate being difficult to see when travelling north on the B5360.
Steven
We arrived later than expected, dark and raining. The entrance to the property is difficult to see especially if coming from the wrong direction. The entrance is angled to the road and very difficult to turn in to it you are coming from the wrong direction with a larger car. The key safe was in an obscure location, not mentioned in the arrival instructions. Took some finding in the dark whilst getting wet!. Once we had found and finally gained entry, the property was very pleasant and ideally located for exploring the southern lakes. We partly chose this property over others because of the hot tub. A very nice and relaxing feature.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 12 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.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 14 Miles
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.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 15 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 18 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 26 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...
