"I cannot recommend Grove House enough!"
It was our third time staying and we've already booked for next year. The house is lovely and spacious and beautifully furnished. The welcome pack from the owner is such a generous touch which we really do appreciate. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect and the attention to detail is second to none. The house is set in a very tranquil area but just a short drive to all the Lakes have to offer. If you are looking for a large house in the southern Lakes, do not hesitate! Book Grove House!

Loved by adults, children and dogs alike.
The house was amazing, clean, in the most beautiful location, surrounded by such peaceful scenery.
We were lucky enough to enjoy the incredible garden, a real wow factor.
It was the perfect place to make wonderful memories. We've booked again for next year and already counting down the weeks. Thank you!

"Everyone adored the property, it is absolutely beautiful and very well looked after."
We stayed for a bridal party and mixed our time between the house and out in the local area. We could not fault anything and really appreciated all the little touches.
The only negative points were that there were no binbags at all and we were unable to buy any from the local Londis (they gave us 4 of their own bags) and finally, the BBQ was very dirty we could not use it (which we planned to do Sat night).
We would 100% love to stay at the property again and are already looking at future dates x

"This house looked amazing in the photos but exceeded our expectations even further upon arrival."
It is absolutely stunning throughout and a lot of thought has gone into every single room. It is very well equipped, with everything you could need and more with a very generous and thoughtful welcome package.
Every single bed was exceptionally comfortable, totally surprised me as the beds were on the firmer side but my word, amazing quality and I've never slept better. Not one complaint from any of the 12 guests, everyone slept very well and was sad to leave.
The views from all around the house are absolutely stunning, you can sit there for days without getting bored of those views. This place is suitable for all ages, the hot tub is wonderful and the rolling hills just opposite it make it even more enjoyable.
They've really thought everything through, there is plenty of seating for all guests in the dining and living areas, the annexe is absolutely gorgeous and had everyone wanting to spend a night in "the getaway" with that spectacular bath.
Honestly if you're like me and like to read through a thousand reviews before finally making a decision on where to book, take my word that this is the sign you needed to reassure you that this the place!!!! We will be returning to Grove House and will be counting down the days till our next visit! This place really is something special and you wouldn't be disappointed!
You will need a car to get into town, however you have some EXECEPTIONAL walks on your doorsteps, you wouldn't need to leave all week if you didn't want too.
Thanks so much grove house for having us and for welcoming us into your beautiful home. We have had the most incredible stay and look forward to staying again. We won't be looking anywhere else now we have found our perfect secret place!!!

"We stayed at the Grove House on 15th Dec until 22nd Dec 2023, as a pre-christmas holiday, the cottage was beyond our expectations, the space was vast, plenty of rooms for our family members and all furnishing and finishes were made to a very high standard."
But more than this, the owners provided a number of welcome gifts which was a lovely surprise.
The location is perfect for anyone who wishes to enjoy fantastic views and beautiful walks, although the cottage is located within the rugged landscape of Witherslack, Grange-over-sands is a short 10min drive away with other favourite and popular locations in the lakes on the doorstep.
I highly recommend Grove House a beautiful cottage and location all year round.
We will definitely be visiting again.

"Fabulous house in a stunning location."
Especially loved the snug for cocktails by the cosy stove,and the smaller ensuite bedroom in the main house.
Watching the sun go down while in the hot tub is a must.
The kitchen is very well equipped,which as a chef I was very happy with,also loads of fridge/freezer space which is a must in a remote location.
Would recommend a visit to Cartmel.Also a lovely walk to The Derby Arms at Witherslack which is a super cosy pub.The Highway Man near Kirkby Lonsdale serves excellent food.
Hope to visit again in the future.

"Loved the house and the situation."
The hot tub was a great hit as was being able to do lovely walks from the house.
There were issues with cleanliness, dusty in various places, we had to wipe clean the fridge and small freezer in main house, the cooker in main house leaked grease on the floor when we first heated it up because it wasn’t clean. We loved having the swallows around but there was a huge pile of bird poo, weeks’ worth, outside the annexe door, together with many fallen leaves and a very dead (skeletal) bird.

The weather could have been better, but it didn't impact at all on our stay. Everyone enjoyed the variety of activities the Lake District has to offer or simply stayed at home with all the comforts Grove House is equipped with. The hot tub was a great success, especially with the younger members of the family. We were delighted with all the amenities and the selection of board games provided - we hardly used the ones we took with us. Any issues (and there weren't many!) were swiftly dealt with. We hope to return and would recommend Grove House as a real home-from-home.

"We have had the most relaxing time at Grove House."
The accommodation is situated in the most idyllic surroundings, perfect for local walks but also close enough to visit other areas. We had a visit to a climbing centre in Kendall, the Aquarium at Newby Bridge and a potter and lunch in Grange over Sands and Bowness.
We spent lots of time relaxing in the house, the log fires, hot tubs, coffee machine and vast selection of board games were enough to keep all of our party happy.
Everything was very comfortable and the welcome pack was a thoughtful surprise.
The only thing missing was a guide to local walks from the house.

"Quite an adventure!"
A week of unprecedented rainfall caused a short section of road to flood near the house (its never happened before, and it disappeared in a couple of days). Peter, the owner, was immediately in touch with us, despite being away on holiday himself, and was incredibly helpful and willing to be flexible with our booking. Communication was excellent throughout the week. A special mention goes to Jim from Orian, the company that looks after the house, who personally went above and beyond, meeting us in his 4x4 to ferry us across the flood, and then waiting hours late at night for the final group to arrive. Sykes were utterly hopeless and never contacted us once, despite promises. I am very disappointed in them. But with Peter, Jim, plus Gemma on Orian's 24 h phone line, there is nothing to be concerned about. As for the house, I cannot speak highly enough of it; it is in a class of its own. Completely relaxing, spacious, peaceful and comfortable. The excellent hot tub was the icing on the cake. We had a wonderful and memorable week for a "special" birthday and family reunion. We would be back in a flash given the chance. Its a great place for visiting the Lake District too. Lovely views, and a lovely area. 5 stars.
Thank you for your brilliant feedback following your stay and we are so pleased you had a week to remember!
We will pass on your thanks to our great team at Orian Property Services. We apologize on behalf of Sykes for the lack of contact from them on the day of your stay (I am assured this has been looked into and is not the norm) however pleased that between us we were able to manage the situation following the extreme rainfall in the area.
