Third time staying here. It’s a lovely location, with views over the fields, lake and Grisedale Forest. Wildlife all around, you can watch a Barn Owl swoop around the fields at dusk or early dawn! The accommodation isn’t 5 star, but it’s clean, tidy and has everything you need for a short stay. I would definitely recommend.

The drive to Buttermere was interesting with very tight country lanes, however, once there, the views were most definitely worth it. On arrival at Buttermere cottage we thought the place was a little dated and tired but had everything we needed and was more than suitable for our needs. The one time we required assistance from the maintenance side they were quick to help and sorted the problem with no fuss. The kitchen had everything you need to make the odd meal, but there is a small pub in walking distance in case you want to eat out. (you need to book as only a small pub) Overall, Buttermere delivered and provided exactly what we needed for a few days in the Lake district.

Ourselves & our 2 dogs really enjoyed our stay at Buttermere cottage. It was excellent value for money. The cottage is well presented and has everything you need. The views from here are just stunning & the dogs enjoyed some of their walks off lead with plenty of fields around that are well fenced. The bed was super comfortable & the location is very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Perhaps on the other site for a change of scenery. It made a perfect base for relaxing, walking & exploring the lakes.

A great place to stay . A short walk to the pub Tower Banks arms . If you want to eat there you would need to book well in advanced. Just a minute walk to the hotel and superb food . We run and cycle so great place for Grissdale forest . The apartment is warm and everything you need in it . So you can cook in or go out . Also they do a service where you can order food and it is delivered to you for your stay . Throughly recommend it

This is a very expensive rental for something so basic. I also asked if it could be cleaned exceptionally well as I have an allergy to dogs, yet when we arrived the whole place smelt of damp dog. I could not sit on the sofas as it was clear they hadn’t been cleaned and when I sat down I came out in a rash. We spent as much time outside the property as possible as a consequence as inside the property, the lack of cleanliness caused breathing problems.

We booked this a year ago as we were attending a friends wedding on the estate and we were looking forward to the “refined luxury” as described on the website. Instead we were met with a cottage in need of an update/TLC. The cottage was in a lovely setting but on arrival we were very disappointed. Cleanliness overall was not great, there were dead flies on the window sills, cobwebs with spiders in the corners of rooms and cobwebs on the walls. The uplighter lamp in the lounge was full of dust and dead insects. There was mould all around the shower cubicle, inside and out and this was not helped by the fact the shower leaked every time it was used. The kitchen sink taps were loose. There were holes in the bedroom carpet. The walls in the bathroom had been filled but not painted. The main light in the bedroom was dim making it difficult when getting ready. The white bedding had dirty marks on it. Overall the cottage was in desperate need of some TLC if it was to be as described on the website. Definitely not worth what we paid.
