Home Farmhouse Reviews

Lovely cottage, great location near Windermere, Coniston, Esthwaite. Great to have parking and swimming pool facilities too. Only complaint was that the garden wasn't entirely dog secure and he managed to sneak out of a hole between gate posts!
Really lovely house with everything we needed and great location
Fabulous family holiday. Great cottage and we we all loved the swimming pool. Everything we needed was in the cottage. The fridge and freezer space was immense and having a washer and drier was great too especially with having two very young children with us. The outdoor space was fantastic we managed to sit outside and eat lunch outside one day which for late February was a great bonus. Having access to an enclosed field was also great for the dogs too. We really appreciated the smart TV's too for watching films in the evening. The tin opener could do with replacing. Would highly recommend the cottage.
Nicola
The house was in a beautiful location, giving access to the entire estate. There was a swimming pool onsite, electric chargers and a games room. The house was spacious and the furniture was comfortable. The house could do with a little TLC maintenance to ensure standards are kept high. My family and I would stay here again.
Belinda
Great property on the beautiful Graythwaite Estate. We loved the size of Home Farmhouse, two lovely loungerelaxing areas, dining table for eight. Each bedroom has an en suite. We didnt make use of the annex but it makes the house plenty big enough for 8 adult guests. The house was well equipped apart from a broom or hoover, we found a dustpan but its a big place to do that daily! Otherwise faultless.
Excellent stay for all the family.
The cottage was gorgeous and we had a fabulous weekend.
All round excellent stay 4 bed home farmhouse was modern refurb'd and clean, with all you need except a corkscrew! really clean and well looked after a few cobwebs behind tv's and ceiling of the little 1 bed annexe 4.85!! but otherwise a really good job. there was a slight drain smell in both annex ands main TV room but nothing too disagreeable for us really spacious and room , bathrooms were very well spec'd. dog proof courtyard and opening to the paddock was really good felt very well thought out and we enjoyed immensely our time. Swimming pool used twice was lovely also booked private 45 mins sessions!
Lovely well appointed converted Farmhouse Sleeps 6 comfortably No downstairs toilet so something to consider for the less mobile Annexe was disappointing. Cramped, mould on toilet wall continual bad odour. Would not have been suitable had we needed for more than 2 nights Location is great for walks. Tesco unable to locate us as they use Royal Mail postcode finder for deliveries. Pool is good. Great for the kids Date of experience 02 December 2022
We had a wonderful week at Home Farmhouse, the facilities are exceptional. High specification throughout, everything we needed. The estate is wonderful for walks and the shop is an added bonus. Lovely staff , helpful and informative.
Denise
Lovely wellequipped property. Very cool in summer heat wave. Shop on site was very useful, though expensive. Enjoyed use of the swimming pool. Would definitely stay again
Therese
The accommodation was generally outstanding . However as feedback has been requested I would like to point out the following My elderly mother found showering difficult without a rubberised mat we had to put a large towel down which wasnt ideal as it was a trip hazard There were no towels provided for the annexe . Fully appreciating that pets are not allowed on the furniture having all white bedding and towels caused a level of stress . A certain amount of dog hair is inevitably transferred onto surfaces. We would have appreciated darker coloured linen etc. at least in the annexe . These are only meant as constructive comments. We found the location and general facilities amazing pool etc and thoroughly enjoyed our break after a difficult couple of years .
This is a great place to stay we will be back
5 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs in one house. Was pleasantly surprised, very spacious modern home that felt like we had gone from home to home. Plenty of room for all of us live to comfortably. We had a swim which was lovely followed by walks around the estate grounds and dropping down onto Windermere. This stay could not be more perfect, a retreat for us all to relax and unwind in the country. We did archery which was fantastic and only a short 15 minute walk to the location. We ate at local pubs which were recommended by the site. The shop on site was great, catering for all needs. The only down fall which was minor was the oven didnt have instructions and left us starving and eating chocolate and crisps on the first night. Other than that I would love to stay again. None of us wanted to leave
Richard
Lovely spacious property in a beautiful location. Excellent facilities and modern, quality fixtures and fittings. We all loved the cottage. Superb.
