Comfortable stay at The Forge

Pros - Happy to recommend! Peaceful rural courtyard location Warm electric heating Very comfortable lounge Well fitted kitchen Very comfortable beds, pillows & bed linen Excellent hot shower Well stocked farm shop on site; quality goods Ideal location for The Lap Windermere Cons - No pub or restaurant within walking distance Top of the staircase has a tricky step layout

Half term break

A great break away - such a lovely little cottage, so handy to the pool (literally right next door!) which we were able to book most days of our stay, and in a great location to explore all the Lakes has to offer.

Wettest week of the year!!

Another lovely week at Forge property on your lovely estate. No real complaints, but the lounge carpet could do with a good clean to get out the stains and we really need 2x hand towels, The large bath towels are not a substitute as they are far too big. Please get the hand rail put back in the swimming pool, it’s dangerous climbing out as slippery without it. It’s 4 years on the trot that we’ve been and find it wonderfully relaxing even though the weather/rain was awful

A week at Graythwaite

A comfortable, warm cottage though in places is showing signs of wear ie sofa and chairs and carpet could do with a deep clean but we realise we are right at the end of the season. The outside areas for the cottages ie the tables, chairs etc could also do with some attention - they look a bit ‘tired’.

A haven in wet weather!

Lovely kitchen, comfy sofas, very comfy beds and pillows, very clean bedding, plenty of hot water in shower, electric heating / storage heaters warmed up the bedrooms nicely, kitchen & lounge were cooler. A haven to return to after completing The Lap ultra marathon in September! The only disappointment was not being given advance warning that the Graythwaite farm shop on-site was closed. This resulted in a long car trip back beyond Newby Bridge to buy supplies.

Nearly 5 out 5 but read the review

Lovely property in lovely surroundings what with the bookable swimming pool & roaming pheasants to boot This was obviously a very expensive, top quality conversion into holiday accommodation when done, but the owners need to keep on top of maintenance & inspections of their properties as we found 24h after arriving that the fridge wasn’t switched on , the drinks/bottle holder on the fridge door was missing as presumably broken, 2 of 6 ceiling kitchen lights not working green damp showing through on all 3 upstairs bedrooms plus i spent about 3 hours weeding a very overgrown path from back door to a lovely patio/bar b q area to take advantage of it ; as you would. Still recommend though

Tired, in need of some TLC and a proper deep clean

Let’s start with the positives, the location is lovely and it’s great that there’s a swimming pool and kids playground on site. Other than that, the property fell a long way short of what I’d expect of something advertised as luxury. No hand towels, no bath mat, hot water barely hot enough to do the washing up (luckily there’s an electric shower), damp damage in two bedrooms from a leak round the chimney stack - not the sort of things that spoil the holiday particularly, but clearly not what I’d expect from a “luxury” property. The biggest issue was probably the cleaning before our arrival - if you’re going to allow pets, you really need to make sure that you clean more thoroughly and treat for, e.g., fleas. More than one of us ended up with bites from sitting on the sofa. Needless to say, I don’t expect to return.

Would Recommend With Caveats

The location of the Graythwaite Estate is fantastic. It's a lovely estate, surrounded by nature and in close proximity to Lake Windermere. Upon arriving, we found a bag of goodies which was an unexpected delight. We had earlier enquired about body wash and shampoo, and were told it would be provided, so didn't bring our own. There was none at the cottage, and we were assured this would be provided later by Housekeeping when we raised this to the attention of the team. It was never provided, however, and it appeared that Housekeeping refilled the hand soap instead. By the end of our stay, we were down to the last squares of toilet tissue, which was never replenished. The kitchen floors had been swept, but really did need a scrub as it left our feet/socks grubby. The trail maps of the estate were missing from the cottage's folder (we suspected that probably a previous guest had removed for use) and were told to wait the next day to go get a copy from the onsite farm store. The Housekeeping Team really needs to be more on top of the turnover of the cottages, this is where the experience fails. If you can overlook these types of issues, then chances are you will have an enjoyable stay. Recommend with caveats.
