"A really superb holiday let beautifully furnished with stunning decor set amidst a vista of flora and fauna woods and lakes."
The owners Colin and John, particularly the former set a master class in customer service, advice and help. NOTHING is too much trouble for them they go the extra yard to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The quality of furnishings and house design is the highest we have seen on many holidays

"We had a lovely stay at Ghyll Crest at the end of November."
The description of the house is accurate though it’s not made clear how close the owner's property is. That said they were very welcoming and discreet.
The house itself is really great, a warm and comfortable place to come back to after a day of hiking. The thing we loved most was the tranquility, genuine peace and quiet that’s quite hard to find. A short walk through the grounds and onto the adjacent heathland will take you to what is probably the best view of Windmere one could hope to see, a real pleasure. Should the opportunity arise we would definitely stay at Ghyll Crest again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed the house and all that it has to offer. We hope that we can welcome you back again in the future.

"This was our first holiday here and we had a fantastic time."
Colin met us on our arrival and made us feel very welcome. The house was beautiful and the views are amazing. There are some beautiful walking areas and plenty to do in the area too. Also we must mention Bud . We met Bud who is Colin and Johns dog several times while out walking and he’s adorable and very friendly and was very pleased to see us. This was a very enjoyable holiday and we will definitely be rebooking.

The attention to detail the owners have lavished on the property is second to none, rivalled only by the beautiful setting and scenery. It is an oasis of peace, the perfect venue to rest and recharge, therefore, we would highly recommend Ghyll Crest Lodge, without hesitation.

The house and grounds were beautiful and the thought given by the owners in providing everything a group needs for a luxury break was much appreciated.

The wider beauty of all The Lakes were also there to explore and the property was ideally placed for this. Fantastic place to stay in a stunning location.
