Sarah is an amazing host and nothing is too much trouble. You really feel that she wants you to have a great time, even apologising for the weather, which definitely wasnât her fault. I would highly recommend a stay at Graysondale. Beautiful cottage, beautiful garden/wood and of course the beautiful Lake District.

The cottage is warm and comfortable and has the added bonus of an attached wood, again very good for doggies. Everything is provided, modern, and working. Sarah and Rick are a great couple, and are extremely welcoming. Looking forward to returning.
