Glenwood Reviews

Claire
Lovely big house, that is well kitted out and provides robes and slippers for hot tub users. We had a comfortable stay. But the house is in need of some TLC. It does need a good clean downstairs. The cold water tap wasnt working in the en-suite and outside was untidy. The location is great close to the beach, Muncaster Castle and about 25 mins to WRead moreast Water. We had a nice stay but would have expected better quality finishing in the house for the price we paid. Hide
Nicolae

Andrew
We enjoyed the rural, secluded location and the house is well equipped inside and out. The hot tub and pool table were a great hit with all three generations. In a great location with lovely walks nearby and easy reach to the lakes, and area, giving a nice respite to the busier places such as Windermere. The welcome gifts were welcome after the lon g drive to reach there.

Amazing house which was perfectly set up and ready for a holiday! The house was absolutely spotless and there was loads of room for a big group of people. The location is perfect for climbing up Scarfell Pike.

We had a fantastic holiday! Beautiful, spacious house with lots of little extra thoughtful details to make it special. Games and books. Comfortable beds. Fully equipped kitchen. Excellent communication with the owners. We had a problem with the heating and they sent someone to look at it the same day plus dropped in a heater.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 14 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.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 16 Miles
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. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 21 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.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 23 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...
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 26 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.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 27 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.
