Good Stay.
Overall, it is a great location within the Lake District, we have stayed at various Graythwaite properties before. The apartment is small for four people but does provide everything you need. The second bedroom and some of the kitchen have quite a bit of mold, and renovations are needed. The bathroom is very small, just a small shower, basin and toilet; no storage.

The above cottage was a lovely place to stay and we couldn't find any faults with it apart from there being no plug for the kitchen sink. We did find difficulty finding the cottage and think the directions were a bit confusing and also few sign posts Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bassenthwate. Regards, Roy Young

3rd visit in 4 years
The location of this cottage is ideal, quiet secluded with its own communal picnic area and private access to Esthwaite lake shore to look out for the osprey's fishing. Hawkshead is 2 mile away for essentials, and Grizedale forest is only over the other side of the lake for longer walks. The cottage itself is in a converted farm and is clean and tidy, only possible issues are of you've got noises neighbours above you (which we didn't this year). There's other cottages available without upstairs neighbours on the same site if you require. Overall I love it up there, really relaxing and perfect for dogs (keep an eye out for sheep in the adjacent fields though).

Good stay at Bassenthwaite, some small improvements could make this property incredible
Bassenthwaite is in an exceptional location, near to both Ambleside and Windermere. It’s surroundings are beautiful and features some lovely local walks where you can take in the countryside views and nearby wildlife. We stayed here late June with a 3 year old, please bear in mind this property does not have (as currently advertised on the website): - A dishwasher - Small freezer space in fridge Being the ground floor apartment you can also expect to hear some noise from the above apartments, this includes heavy footsteps, doors shutting, toilets flushing and other people’s conversations. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay but might think twice about the amenities here if we were to stay in the Lake District again.

Disappointing cottage
We had such high hopes for the cottage. However, when we got there, the shower tray was flooded, lots of flies crawling and flying around, shower area was very damp as ventilation was not working and there were no windows. WiFi was very poor, and not much thought was put into the decoration. The cutlery is a bit chunky and the nonstick saucepans were scratched. To be fair, they replaced the saucepan and cleared the shower tray almost immediately after I mentioned it to them. The beds were quite comfortable and the location was very peaceful.
