Very happy. Great service and great location
We were very glad to have booked Hilltop. Excellent service from start to finish.
The location is perfect for a secluded and private getaway.
The house is very well maintained and has well appointed dining, kitchen, living and sleeping areas. Nice wood fired hot tub too.

This is a very comfortable cottage with good size rooms. It is in a quiet location with easy access to the lakeside path on Windermere.

A lovely family stay at Hilltop
We had a lovely stay at Hilltop with our young family. The location is beautiful, private and very peaceful. The accommodation was extensive, well equipped for a family and clean. Our only recommendation for the property would be to have a smart TV, as parents who stay in on an evening and children who enjoy kids tv on a morning and bedtime it comes in handy. We definitely want to come back and stay. The hot tub is a great special feature and is easy to use, we had a great view from ours.

Lovely break
We spent a week in Hilltop and had a lovely time. It is remote but that's what we wanted. However a short drive away you can get the ferry across to Bowness. We tended to park at this side and go over by foot. You are also a short walk away from the shores of Lake Windermere. The cottage was clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. The garden was private (but not fully enclosed). Hot tub was welcome at the end of the day and we used the pool 3 times (the pool is a 10 min drive away). Would definitely recommend.

Family stay.
The house is in a fantastic location, close to the ferry across to Bowness as well as National Trust properties - Hilltop, Wray Castle and Claife viewing station, all worth a visit. Hawkshead and Ambleside are not far by car, and both worth a visit. Great walks and views also close.
The hot tub was a great asset and easy to use; matches and fire wood were provided, but it would have been great to have some kindling too. The garden was large and private with partial views of the lake through the tree tops.
The house was spacious and comfortable and adequately equipped. however the interior was quite dated (we knew this when we booked - but it was disappointing to see the standard of some maintenance, for example some of the grouting in the shower was very discoloured/mouldy. Window frames also needed some maintenance). As such the house didn’t really feel value for money.
During our stay we used the pool on the estate. The booking system was well organised and you have exclusive use. The pool was a good size for an indoor pool and heated well, but again the standard of maintenance let it down, so we only used it once.
All that said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect.

Hilltop Cottage
The cottage was lovely and cosy we enjoyed spending time there aswell as going out. The swimming pool was just the right size and we had it to ourselves for each booking. We found the farm shop to be extremely pricey.
Would definitely book a cottage on the Graythewaite Estate again.
