4/5

A cosy place for all seasons

Although tiny ('bijou' might be a kinder description), Groom's Cottage has everything two people might need for a week's retreat. If you're blessed with good weather, the various outside spaces are a delight - sitting with a glass in your hand on a summer's evening, looking out from your own private jetty over Lake Windermere is a rare treat. If it's wet & cold, the cosy bedroom studio is the perfect place to curl up with a good book.
The owners in the next door 'big house' were wonderfully discreet but made us aware that they were on-hand if we needed anything.
There's nothing one can add to what has already been written about the Lakes and Groom's Cottage is about as ideal a base as you'll find for your explorations. Probably not ideal for a pair of burly six footers, but just tiggerty-boo for a couple under 5'7"!

A Must in the National Trust

Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009

We stayed for a week at The Groom's Cottage under for us ideal circumstances: lovely situated in a quiet surrounding with a lot of privacy and not spoiled by the negative influence of modern tourism. Inside the cottage was proper and well equipped and outside a delightful landscape to explore. The cottage didn't have a separated living room, but the very comfortable sleeping room was well appointed. In our case we also had the luck that the weather was very nice and after a day of walking it was very relaxing watching TV. on our bed. Richard, the "landlord" of the Belle Grange was a excellent host and was very helpful to find for us a B&B after our stay at The Groom’s Cottage. Now we’re back in Holland we’re looking back on a very successful holiday with a lot of nice memories.

Groom's Cottage

Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009

Great out of the way location, with good boat mooring facilities, fairly easy launch from beach nearby.
(This is what i was looking for in a holiday home)

The property was clean, and well-maintained, it is compact, but I was out most of the time anyway, (it would be even better if there was an garage or similar for bikes or other out-doors equipment).

I will stay again, it is a great place to be out of the way in the peace and quiet.

Grooms Cottage New Year 08/09

soxborough  Bolton

Review Submitted: January 9, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008

A truly wonderful little hideaway, set in gorgeous peaceful surroundings.

Everything is catered for and it is most definitely suited to couples only, looking for that bit of quality time together.

A great base to explore from but more than comfortable enough if you want to just sit back and relax.

The cosiness of Grooms cottage coupled with the warmth and good feeling the open fire provides made our stay most pleasurable (and the welcome pack certainly helped!!).

A Peaceful Break

Hollie & Daren  Corringham, Essex, UK

Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008

This property was found as advertised. The situation was idyllic with views of the lake from the windows and the lake shore only a short walk from the cottage. The cottage is cosy and well equipped. The large bed was comfy and everywhere was clean. We can recommend the Drunken Duck (about 15mins from the cottage) for dinner and found the nearby villages of Ambleside and Hawkshead lovely. Please ignore the negative review posted previously, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
