We loved the location, the shop and pool were great and we all enjoyed exploring the estate. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable and was great for playing hide and seek! A great holiday and a fabulous place to stay.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 26, 2024 #### Family Break Family of 6. Plenty of space, kitchen had all modern amenities and lots of room to cook for everyone. Beds very comfy, everyone slept well. We booked and used the pool and games room. Also booked canoeing through Graythwaite Adventure, enjoyed by everyone. We would definitely stay again. Would be even better if there was a table in the outside area for eating outside. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 2, 2024 #### Family special birthday We enjoyed the pool but felt there was far too much chlorine making it uncomfortable for the eyes. We needed some help with the log burning stove and the maintenance man arrived and helped us, he was very helpful. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Nov 4, 2023 #### A brilliant family holiday There were 10 of us staying during half term week, grandparents, parents & 4 kids, our whole family in fact. We had a great time, though some of the parents had to leave early as they were working part of the week. The only minor complaints I would make was that the farm shop was only open part of the time, the lights were a bit dim in the bedroom we were in (ground floor), there was no seat at the dressing table and there didn't seem to be a shaver/electric toothbrush socket anywhere in the house. But we had a great week - the kids loved it especially the swimming sessions. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay Jan 16, 2024 #### Good but could be great The booking process was straightforward and we were sent helpful directions in advance which was great. The swimming pool was a great addition and the shower and poolside facilities were great. We were disappointed that there was only one soap dispenser for the four sinks and there was no washing up liquid and tea towels. The description of the house included these so we didn’t bring anything. I contacted graythwaite and I felt they made it really hard work and weren’t forthcoming with alternatives. There were used towels left in the washing machine which the cleaner kindly apologised when we meet her on our way out. The house was beautiful and well decorated. Most of the house was warm but the single pane glass and an old storage heater in one of the rooms with an external wall made it unusable on the second night for the baby when the temperature dropped (despite our best efforts to warm it up) so we had to share a room. We all felt that the house was lovely but was missing the mark with some simple things. For the money we spend and the description of luxury , we had hoped for the small things to be considered. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerhurst Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Deerhurst-Resort.h23864.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Motels.d180017-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hazelton Hotel Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Hazelton-Hotel-Toronto.h1688828.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Desert Club Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Desert-Club-Resort.h1140159.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Yarmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Yarmouth-Hotels.d6128900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Mallorca Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Mallorca-Island-Hotels.d602317.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/fra/vancouver-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ist/vancouver-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Yellowknife (YZF) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yzf/yeg/yellowknife-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/ams/ottawa-to-amsterdam) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Greece](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/67/Greece)
