Grove House Reviews

Stephen

We stayed at the Grove House on 15th Dec until 22nd Dec 2023, as a prechristmas holiday, the cottage was beyond our expectations, the space was vast, plenty of rooms for our family members and all furnishing and finishes were made to a very high standard. But more than this, the owners provided a number of welcome gifts which was a lovely surprise. The location is perfect for anyone who wishes to enjoy fantastic views and beautiful walks, although the cottage is located within the rugged landscape of Witherslack, Grangeoversands is a short 10min drive away with other favourite and popular locations in the lakes on the doorstep. I highly recommend Grove House a beautiful cottage and location all year round. We will definitely be visiting again.

Fabulous house in a stunning location. Especially loved the snug for cocktails by the cosy stove,and the smaller ensuite bedroom in the main house. Watching the sun go down while in the hot tub is a must. The kitchen is very well equipped,which as a chef I was very happy with,also loads of fridgefreezer space which is a must in a remote location. Would recommend a visit to Cartmel.Also a lovely walk to The Derby Arms at Witherslack which is a super cosy pub.The Highway Man near Kirkby Lonsdale serves excellent food. Hope to visit again in the future.

This was a family getaway and a surprise for our fathers 80th birthday. We couldnt have picked a more perfect place, the house had everything you could wish for and the views and grounds were breathtaking. Sat around the fire pit laughing all together while the younger ones were in the hot tub are memories we will remember forever.

Annette

Loved the house and the situation. The hot tub was a great hit as was being able to do lovely walks from the house. There were issues with cleanliness, dusty in various places, we had to wipe clean the fridge and small freezer in main house, the cooker in main house leaked grease on the floor when we first heated it up because it wasnt clean. We loved having the swallows around but there was a huge pile of bird poo, weeks worth, outside the annexe door, together with many fallen leaves and a very dead skeletal bird.

Fantastic property with great facilities. We all had a fantastic time at Grove House. The hot tub was amazing, along with the well decorated inside spaces and beautifully kept gardens. I will be looking to book Grove house again in the future.

Hattie

We had a wonderful family holiday at The Grove. It was a fabulous house with big rooms and flexible accommodation to suit the whole family. It was a wonderful private setting with a big garden, lovely outdoor seating area and hot tub! The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. Both Sykes and the owner were great at communicating and made our stay very easy.

Jessica

Lovely house, decor very nice. Very well thought out for large groups with plenty of glasses, mugs, towels. Plenty of kids crockery, high chairs and travel cots. Hot tub lovely. Some of the rooms colder than others but aga keeps main kitchen warm. views are incredible, we really enjoyed staying here as a family!

A super week in a beautiful setting grounds and views are really lovely. Spacious accommodation and a tranquil location, just the place for a family gathering. Peter the owner is very helpful and provided plenty of information before our arrival and a most generous Welcome Pack to greet us thank you, Peter!

Michael

We had a lovely family holiday, quality time together inside and out in the amazing garden, everything you needed was there.

The Grove is perfect for anyone who wants to spend a few days away from it all in a lovely tranquil setting. We loved it here.

Grove House completely exceeded my expectations and made the most perfect comfortable home, in the most beautiful location. I'd highly recommend this accommodation and certainly hope to stay again in the future.

Grove House was an amazing place to stay facilities were exactly as advertised and the house was spotless in an incredible location. Will definitely consider going back again if the chance arises!

Gillian

We really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous house there was plenty of room for us all and the annexe was ideal for my parents to get some peace from the rest of us! The house was very clean, hot tub amazing under really clear skies and all the little touches were fab even the welcome pack was fab! The owner rang us on the day of arrival and just before we left to check all was ok sorry I didn't get chance to return your voicemail!. This house is something special, from the grand piano to the lovely kitchen and the views were gorgeous. Stay here you won't regret it!

We stayed at Grove House for New Year. The house is amazing, really nicely decorated, all amenities you could possibly need, loads of glasses, kitchenware etc. There were 12 of us 6 adults and 6 children and the size of the property was perfect. The house has amazing grounds, we took our dogs who loved exploring the garden. Additional touches were really appreciated, selection boxes etc for the children. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.

Katherine

Lovely house had every thing 3 families needed. If I had to pick a fault the main bath takes too long to fill even with water pump on, but this would not stop me staying at grove house again

Amazing place, loved our stay. Owner was very helpful and most accommodating Thank you. We had everything we needed and though we did travel and do a few sightseeing trips, we didnt need to as Grove House has lots of space and areas to explore and for the children to run around. The outdoor space was a real highlight for us, the weather was excellent which meant we spent a lot of time outside. Lots of lovely outdoor furniture made things really comfortable too. Would highly recommend having a stay at Grove House!

Fantastic property and location. Really relaxing and would definitely like to come back again in the future. Thank you so much for a lovely week.

Graham

Outstanding place for a big family friends celebration. Great comms from owners and Sykes. Lovely

Jeanne

We have just returned from staying at Grove House and have had one of the best family holidays ever! The house is outstanding in every way. We had 7 small children with us and it accommodated us all as it's so spacious. The grounds are amazing and very safe for the children. The welcome pack was such a lovely generous touch by the owner. We really enjoyed it's location which is secluded but still within a 15 minutes drive of Newby Bridge. We highly recommend this property and will definitely be back!

Rebecca

We had a fabulous week celebrating an 80th birthday with 4 generations, ranging from 5 months to 83 years old, so we needed somewhere large enough to accommodate everyone, plus dogs. The Grove lived up to all of this and more. Great outdoor and indoor space for everyone to enjoy. We also had some great days out on and around Lake Windermere. Would definitely recommend. The hot tub was a bonus and I appreciated the friendly phone call from the owner who was happy to help with any questions.

We loved our stay at Grove House. The location and surrounding area is beautiful. The house is lovely inside and each room has its own theme decor. Everything was lovely and clean inside and out. The outside space is amazing and the gardens and patio areas are stunning! Well definitely be returning in the future.

An amazing couple of nights away as a surprise for my partner! House was stunning and well furnished and equipped for 12 people ages 2123 location was perfect house was easy to find. Owners were well organised and accommodating! We will definitely be booking again and for longer next time! Would recommend!!

Francesca

We absolutely loved our stay at Grove House. The location was so peaceful and quiet and we loved hearing the lambs on a morning. The beds were really comfortable, although the pillows were a bit too soft would have been good to have some alternative options as a few of us preferred a firmer pillow only a small detail when everything else was so good! The house was well equipped with the majority of things we needed and we were delighted to receive a generous welcome basket on arrival. We loved how much space there was and of course, the hot tub was the highlight of the weekend. We would definitely come back and stay again. A fantastic place to stay for a relaxing weekend in the Lakes. Highly recommended!

A very nice house, stylish decoration, exactly as the pictures. Well kept, lovely quiet location yet easy to get to from the main road with walks both from the house a nice walk to the pub and village shop and a short distance by car for more challenging climbs. The house is very comfortable with everything you need. Communication with the owner is great to arrange keys etc. No complaints at all, we had a great stay with 3 generations under one roof.

We had an amazing time at Grove House, the house was beautiful and immaculate and overall exceeded our expectations. We felt completely at home in the comfortable and spacious rooms and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Everything we needed was on hand with an added bonus of the games cupboard which kept everyone entertained. The hot tub is a great feature and the rural location is perfect for star gazing. We visited Grangeoversands, Windermere and walked up The Old Man of Coniston quite a challenging walk with plenty of elevation but we were rewarded with fantastic views and would definitely recommend. We could not fault Grove House in any way. Peter was helpful and easily contactable. We loved every minute and will definitely be back, it is a great place for a family get together.

Elizabeth

Absolutely loved our stay. The house was immaculate when we arrived. Everything that we could need from shampoobody wash to extra pans for making breakfast for everybody. We had a slight problem with the hot tub due to a power cut nobodys fault and they sent someone out within half an hour to make sure it was working so that we could make use of all the facilities. Beautiful home, would definitely come back.

We booked Grove House for a family get together during the Christmas period. The house is amazing, very classy and plenty of room for the whole family. In a very beautiful part of the lakes. Positives Amazing views Separate cottage which provides extra privacy Stylish rooms, well spaced out Christmas decor Fully equipped kitchen Plenty of towels Hot tub was a great hit Games cupboard was great for extra fun Dark sky location The Welcome pack was a lovely touch Negatives None however we would at a push mention Perhaps we missed it apologies if we did, a tumble dryer would be a great help Ensure you download any directionsSat Nav before you set off although the remote location adds to the experience. Thank you so much for a great stay, we had such a great time. It was a great treat for the whole family.

Rachel

We have had the most relaxing time at Grove House. The accommodation is situated in the most idyllic surroundings, perfect for local walks but also close enough to visit other areas. We had a visit to a climbing centre in Kendall, the Aquarium at Newby Bridge and a potter and lunch in Grange over Sands and Bowness. We spent lots of time relaxing in the house, the log fires, hot tubs, coffee machine and vast selection of board games were enough to keep all of our party happy. Everything was very comfortable and the welcome pack was a thoughtful surprise. The only thing missing was a guide to local walks from the house. We hope to return in the Summer months.

William

Quite an adventure! A week of unprecedented rainfall caused a short section of road to flood near the house its never happened before, and it disappeared in a couple of days. Peter, the owner, was immediately in touch with us, despite being away on holiday himself, and was incredibly helpful and willing to be flexible with our booking. Communication was excellent throughout the week. A special mention goes to Jim from Orian, the company that looks after the house, who personally went above and beyond, meeting us in his 4x4 to ferry us across the flood, and then waiting hours late at night for the final group to arrive. Sykes were utterly hopeless and never contacted us once, despite promises. I am very disappointed in them. But with Peter, Jim, plus Gemma on Orian's 24 h phone line, there is nothing to be concerned about. As for the house, I cannot speak highly enough of it it is in a class of its own. Completely relaxing, spacious, peaceful and comfortable. The excellent hot tub was the icing on the cake. We had a wonderful and memorable week for a special birthday and family reunion. We would be back in a flash given the chance. Its a great place for visiting the Lake District too. Lovely views, and a lovely area. 5 stars.

We had a fantastic week at Grove House. The property including the annex and gardens exceeded expectations. We were lucky with the weather so spent a lot of time outside in the garden, exploring the barn and relaxing in the hot tub. The added touches including the welcome gift and family games were greatly appreciated. We also made the most of the surrounding areas visiting Grangeoversands, Cartmel and Bowness and even managed a lovely meal at the local pub, kayaking and tree climbing. Loved every minute and will definitely be back.

Michelle

Grove House is simply stunning! As a family of 12 we had the most fantastic holiday. Everything was perfect. Absolutely loved the welcome pack, such lovely goodies. I enjoyed learning to cook on the Arga. We will definitely be returning. Oh and if we win the lottery, wed love to buy it!!

Great holiday, fantastic house in a great condition. Only downside was that the hottub did not work when we were there.

This was a fantastic place from where to explore the Lake District. We had an extended family group aged 18 to 80 and the house and gardens in mid September were truly fantastic for us. The entertainment through the grand piano, BBQ's in a very scenic location and evenings in the hot tub for the younger ones made it a memorable family holiday. Minor issues identified were quickly sorted and the 'Welcome Pack' was the best I have ever encountered. I could not recommend this place highly enough and it is a credit to the owners thankyou.

George

The property was fantastic and the location unbeatable. Perfect for dogs and humans alike! The house had everything you could need and more and the hot tub was a welcome relief at the end of the day. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a break in the area the night skies are amazing, the views incredible and the house first class.

We were so fortunate to have fantastic weather and we particularly enjoyed the peace and tranquility at Grove House and the outside areas. The sofas at the back got the sun during the day and the barbecuedining area in the evening, so perfect for us, with lovely sunsets on many nights! The hot tub was a real bonus. And it was easy to walk or take a run from the house, with or without the dog! We also made use of the yogapilates room. We enjoyed the area in general, particularly Grange Over Sands with its fascinating Victorian Promenade, Cartmel and the Priory, Holker Hall and Sizergh Castle. The Derby Arms served us a great pub meal one evening and we also made use of the seasonal pizza outlet in their yard. We hope to be back!

This is a lovely house. We had a fantastic holiday. The property is enormous, and very well equipped, and is ideal for an extended family get together. The grounds are extensive, with good views from the house. It was very clean and Peter from the maintenance team was really responsive. The piano was an added bonus!

Kanagasingam

A cosy place in a remote destination amidst the hills. We just got back only a few days back from Grove House. The property was clean and perfect for our stay. It catered for all ages. The owners have really given it some good thought to make if comfy for guests in every aspect from having a piano to a walk in shower that was perfect for my elderly Mother. Even as a large group we found that there was more than enough space to enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who looks for a self catering place in the Lake district.

Jayaku

The property is wonderful, set in beautiful surroundings, very well presented with all the facilities to enable a great holiday. The WiFi was an issue but I understand that was because of a storm damage and the team were responsive in getting the BT team twice to the property to set it right. We were a group of 9 3 families and we truly enjoyed a relaxing vacation. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from the city and spend sometime in a country setting.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Cannot fault in anyway. We were a party of 10 6 adults, 4 kids & 2 dogs, and there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space when needed. Location is perfect, as are the gardens. The kids and dogs had plenty of fun running around the large lawns. We stayed for a week and would highly recommend staying here. Everything you need is catered for in the house, and it has been renovated to a very high standard. Such a lovely relaxing and peaceful place to unwind, we even managed to catch a glimpse of the barnowls that are nesting in the barn.
