Low Graythwaite Hall Reviews

Overall, the place was brilliant. It accommodated us all comfortably with plenty of room for people to find space when they needed it. The bath robes were a nice touch. A shower rather than bath in the shared bathroom would have been nice, but people ended up using each other's bathrooms when they wanted a shower. There was plenty of hot water at all times. The kitchen had enough of the things we needed, and it was great to have multiple kettles and coffeee makers. There was a lovely selection of very nice things in the welcome basket, which were much appreciated. The estate ofice was very helpful when we had any problems and responded very quickly. All in all everyone had a great holiday. There are some minor things that could be better BBQ tools would be nice and some of the kitchen utensils are a bit worn, but not unusable. The only real issue we had was opening the doors. The door handles were stiff and because of the shape they were very dfficult to turn and the doors are very heavy. Several of us could not open the doors at all.
Absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend and would love to go back again in the future. Stunning property with lawns, bbq, pool, large kitchen & lovely rooms. Near lake windermere so great walks, paddleboarding etc.
The house was perfect for our large family gathering. The rooms were beautiful especially the lounges where we sat with amazing lit fires and a glass of wine or two. The grounds were equally beautiful. An added bonus of use of the swimming pool nearby and a fun wood heated hot tub. The estate staff were so helpful and made us feel so welcome. An absolute gem and we can highly recommend.
Valerie
Wonderful old house. Plenty of room for us all and bedrooms and bathrooms were fabulous. Vanessa who looks after the house and guests was the star of the show. She has a lovely way with everyone and nothing was too much trouble For her. Any request was dealt with quickly and Efficiently. Good location for visiting different towns in the Lakes

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 11 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 12 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.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 16 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.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 16 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 27 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...
