    “The property was in a wonderful position.”

    It was clean and well-equipped. There is a useful lobby for coats and boots. The bed was comfortable. However, there was a smell of damp and despite prolonged use of the de-humidifier provided, the bedroom especially was unpleasant to waken in. Therefore we felt the need to have the noisy humidifier on much of the night. The owners denied that there was a serious issue when we raised it. A second thing to be aware of is that the one place to relax is advertised as being an open plan room but ...

    It was clean and well-equipped. There is a useful lobby for coats and boots. The bed was comfortable. However, there was a smell of damp and despite prolonged use of the de-humidifier provided, the bedroom especially was unpleasant to waken in. Therefore we felt the need to have the noisy humidifier on much of the night. The owners denied that there was a serious issue when we raised it. A second thing to be aware of is that the one place to relax is advertised as being an open plan room but the two seat sofa faces the kitchen rather than any view.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Far for denying that there might have been a issue, we acted immediately once contacted by Sykes. Our cleaning/maintenance representative inspected the property that afternoon and could find no evidence of a damp odour at the property. We provide a dehumidifier to assist guests in drying out wet clothing / boots. The photographs clearly show the kitchen / dining area (described as 'open plan') and the description makes no reference to a view from the sofa. However, the kitchen table/chairs look out onto one of the garden areas, again evidenced by the photography. The property has been fully let all year and the feedback/ratings have been extremely positive, reflecting our desire to provide a great holiday experience in a wonderful setting. Property Owner

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.

Note: No infants or children under 5.
