Grove House Reviews

Grove House was a perfect place to spend a week with all my family. Plenty of space both inside and outside, beautifully quiet as it is in the middle of nowhere, just some noise from sheep and house martins. Clean and tidy but not overly pristine we had children and dogs! Good cooking facilities we ate together every evening. The wonderful hot tub was well used. An excellent cupboard full of board games for rainy days and the piano was a bonus for one of the grandchildren.

We had a fantastic break, in a beautiful setting The house was extremely well ... We had a fantastic break, in a beautiful setting The house was extremely well equipped, clean , I cant fault it in any way We will definitely be back

Jeanne

We've just returned from our 4th happy holiday at Grove House and cannot recommend it enough! Three generations with ages from 7 months to 73 years old and everyone had a great time. The house is truly beautiful and extremely well equipped inside, especially the kitchen with everything you need to cook for a large group. But what makes this place so special for us is the outside space which is just fantastic and safe for children and dogs. It's so peaceful and quiet yet within easy reach of Lake Windermere. The owner Peter is extremely easy to contact and cannot do enough for you. We'll definitely be back!

Tracey

Well what can I say The Grove is a fabulous home it exceeded our expectations. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. The Games room and hot tub are a real plus providing something for everyone. Our party aged from 362 all had a wonderful time, the gardens and surrounding countryside are beautiful and we had good weather too. The grand piano was much appreciated by my grandaughter who is having lessons, throughout our weekened we were serenaded with her lovely tunes. The welcome pack was also much appreciated and a lovely touch, although there was tonic and no gin! We all loved everything about the house and wanted to stay longer and will definately be back!!

Beautiful farm house inside and out, with great views and in easy reach of lots of great activities. The Christmas welcome pack from the owners was extremely generous and much appreciated. We will definitely be back, maybe in summer this time !

Fabulous property and gardens. We had a wonderful stay at Grove House, 6 Adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. The house and cottage was decorated lovely. Kitchen fab gathering place, lovely dining room and large lounge and the small lounge were also lovely. We have made some wonderful memories during our stay at Grove House. Our week went far too quickly, but we will definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grove House. The pictures absolutely dont do the house justice it is breathtaking. Everything was perfect, it was clean, beds were comfy, views were spectacular! We were treated by lovely gifts when we arrived, and there was great communication prior to our arrival with the lovely opportunity of early check in and late check out, everyone I communicated with was so nice. I would 100 recommend this to anyone it is perfect for group holiday we will definitely be returning.

House was as described in the advert with great outdoor space. Very peaceful surrounding and we did some nice short walks. Had a issues with the TV that was resolved very quickly by the owners. Perfect for a short break and would recommend.

Jeanne

I cannot recommend Grove House enough! It was our third time staying and we've already booked for next year. The house is lovely and spacious and beautifully furnished. The welcome pack from the owner is such a generous touch which we really do appreciate. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect and the attention to detail is second to none. The house is set in a very tranquil area but just a short drive to all the Lakes have to offer. If you are looking for a large house in the southern Lakes, do not hesitate! Book Grove House!

Our first holiday at The Grove and what a fantastic one it was! Loved by adults, children and dogs alike. The house was amazing, clean, in the most beautiful location, surrounded by such peaceful scenery. We were lucky enough to enjoy the incredible garden, a real wow factor. It was the perfect place to make wonderful memories. We've booked again for next year and already counting down the weeks. Thank you!

We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend grove house. Will defiantly go back.

Everyone adored the property, it is absolutely beautiful and very well looked after. We stayed for a bridal party and mixed our time between the house and out in the local area. We could not fault anything and really appreciated all the little touches. The only negative points were that there were no binbags at all and we were unable to buy any from the local Londis they gave us 4 of their own bags and finally, the BBQ was very dirty we could not use it which we planned to do Sat night. We would 100 love to stay at the property again and are already looking at future dates x

The house is lovely, really spacious and cosy. Overall we had a nice stay. The tray of goodies were a nice touch. The surrounding area was nice for walks. Thank you.

Charlotte

This house looked amazing in the photos but exceeded our expectations even further upon arrival. It is absolutely stunning throughout and a lot of thought has gone into every single room. It is very well equipped, with everything you could need and more with a very generous and thoughtful welcome package. Every single bed was exceptionally comfortable, totally surprised me as the beds were on the firmer side but my word, amazing quality and I've never slept better. Not one complaint from any of the 12 guests, everyone slept very well and was sad to leave. The views from all around the house are absolutely stunning, you can sit there for days without getting bored of those views. This place is suitable for all ages, the hot tub is wonderful and the rolling hills just opposite it make it even more enjoyable. They've really thought everything through, there is plenty of seating for all guests in the dining and living areas, the annexe is absolutely gorgeous and had everyone wanting to spend a night in the getaway with that spectacular bath. Honestly if you're like me and like to read through a thousand reviews before finally making a decision on where to book, take my word that this is the sign you needed to reassure you that this the place!!!! We will be returning to Grove House and will be counting down the days till our next visit! This place really is something special and you wouldn't be disappointed! You will need a car to get into town, however you have some EXECEPTIONAL walks on your doorsteps, you wouldn't need to leave all week if you didn't want too. Thanks so much grove house for having us and for welcoming us into your beautiful home. We have had the most incredible stay and look forward to staying again. We won't be looking anywhere else now we have found our perfect secret place!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
