Bracken Ground Reviews

Lovely house in wooded grounds, Hot tub and sauna very popular. We had a fabulous family 4 days, in beautiful surroundings. The house , is very high spec, and caters for all needs. Kitchen is very well equipped.

We have stayed here many times. Bracken Ground is set in really lovely surroundings, just outside of The Lake District national park. The property is well set out, clean, comfortable and well equipped. We have dogs so it's a great holiday for them as well as us. The outdoor sauna and hot tub are great, even in October weather! The surrounding area has some good walks and is incredibly peaceful. The owners messaged us to let us know some information and they had had starlink installed, which helped the previously patchy WiFi. They were very friendly and helpful. Love it here and will be back next year.

This is an outstanding property! Absolutely gorgeous inside and out, finished to a very high standard with every detail thought of. We are a family ranging from 4 75 years and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Thank you.

Horbury

We loved every minute. Bracken Ground was just lovely, the house, the grounds are very well maintained and the both the hot tub and pizza oven got lots of use. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the bedding was blissful. Our group was 9, a mix of adults, teens, and kids. Can recommend the paddleboarding lessons at The Swan hotel, Newby Bridge, we did lots of walking and lake activities and it was a joy to return to the solitude and comfort at Bracken Ground. Thanks.

Spencer

The property was lovely, really nice. In the words of my friend, better than the pictures, and the pictures were nice. The house was really well equipped with everything we could want. It was a very pleasant place to be for a week. Just 2 small points. First is that the directions could be clearer. The property is tricky to find and we spent ages getting there. We thought that it is easiest to get there by starting from the centre of Spark Bridge, over the river, 2nd little road on the left. Left at the next junction, through Colton, left at the sign and then follow the windy road uphill. Second bit of feedback, was we had got up early for a last chill int he hot tub before departing. But the maintenance chap had emptied it and was refilling it with cold water. He shouldn't do that before check out time.

Bracken Ground is a very thoughtfully well put together holiday property in an absolutely stunning location. We really enjoyed our stay, we adored the sauna and hot tub after exploring the beautiful grounds and even saw a deer run across the garden. Relaxing in the lounge in front of that glorious fire after a day of adventuring was such a treat. Our only real issue with the property was the hot tub maintenance, it was cold 20 degrees when we arrived at 4.30pm, not ideal when stood all excited in your bikini after a long drive up there. Then the maintenance van visited at least three times, at least twice pulling up to park right by the bedroom windows with the radio blaring out which seemed very disrespectful of the occupants, especially having paid for a relaxing and restful holiday this happened at 7.30am on the Friday of our break. On the last day the guy came and started faffing with the hot tub at around 8.30, it was a little disruptive and gave a sense of 'off you go' on what was our last little bit of time there. Also as previous occupants have mentioned the knives are in desperate need of a sharpen. Otherwise everything was perfect. We have fallen in love with the Lake District.

Rodwell

Fanatic stay, would highly recommend, could benefit from different heating settings within the bathrooms as these were cold in the mornings one of the showers was not working at all, but this didnt really effect us as there was only me and my husband staying at the property. Hot tub maintenance impressive with 3 checks within a 7day stay, sauna good, could potentially do with fenced in closed in area to stop any incidents with the pond, we used some outside patio chairs by the kitchen doors to prohibit the dogs going on the grass mud or the pond, To help keep the place clean.tv signal in the master bedroom did not work, but we did bring an Amazon tv stick which solved this. We also bought 7 blankets, rugs and throws to keep floors and sofas clean. Overwhelming food package on arrival, this was a lovely touch, could also not fault the amount of kitchen equipment available for everything you could possibly need for your stay. Nice daily visit from the local sheep
