Stunning views, incredibly quiet and tranquil and a perfect retreat from city life. The house is so spacious and everyone aged 1-60, including the dog, felt immediately at home. The bedrooms are all lovely with very comfy beds and plenty of bathrooms with good showers. We all loved the hot tub overlooking the rolling hills, playing silly card games around the dining table and a perfect house for hide and seek! The sitting rooms were so comfy for catching up on TV. The kitchen is fab and so well equipped, with complimetary box of goodies. The first challenge when we arrived was to find the cutlery drawer...it's so clever! (We found the answer in the property manual!) We drove to the indoor swimming pool/games room/shop/playground and really enjoyed having the pool to ourselves for our 45 min session. There are quite a few damp patches on the walls in the house, but it's such a large property and so full of character it didn't bother us, but needs repairing to ensure it can continue to be enjoyed in the future. You also need to take care on the drive, I can confirm it is a little uneven :) as you negotiate the turns up to this magnificent house, take it slowly! We packed so much in to our 3-night stay, hiring a boat on Windermere and walking in Grasmere, it was the perfect start to our summer break! We all loved the house

More than comfortable for 10 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Decor in some areas is getting a bit tired but doesnât detract from the overall experience. Ideal location for activities on the Graythwaite estate and staff from the estate were extremely helpful and accommodating. Nearest shops are 20 mins drive away so do need to plan for food shopping. Overall great place and would definitely go back.

Very shabby,holes in walls half filled,skirting hanging off,damp wet walls in most of the bedrooms,wardines with no rail,ill fitting doors,mould growing in the lounge all making hazelseat a sorry sight compared to reviews from last year which is a shame as the location is beautiful. Facilities wise we had 8 of everything... For 11 guests... 1 toilet roll per floor...and literally 2 pumps of hand wash for fear of it getting stolen. It hadn't been cleaned adequately before arrival,yet we were expected to strip all beds and leave clean and tidy....it was certainly left cleaner than when we arrived. Also the pool is a 20 minute walk away,as is the shop...no details of this within the house or operating instructions for any of the white goods. I would also like to point out that there is either very large mice,or paranormal activity between the hours of 2/2:45am... As we were woken most nights to shuffling tapping and banging downstairs and also in the yellow bedroom. Wouldn't stay again or recommend without some big changes and a makeover
