"The heating was on a little high, which we did turn down, but it always seemed to stay high on the thermostat."
Apart from that, the property was excellent in every way and we will book it again next year, it’s perfect!

"A well appointed property on the edge of Grasmere with super views."
Two minutes and you are in the Coop or the marvellous book shop. Back at the house you feel you are out in the countryside. It is warm and cosy and has everything you might require. No need to use the car as there are high and low walks from the front door.

"Excellent house, very well set up, and extremely comfortable."
Fabulous location for all that Grasmere has to offer. Only niggle ( a very small one) is lack of privacy in front garden. I would raise the fence height by 2 feet, either by fence or shrubbery, as there is no privacy when sitting outside and the lane in front of the garden has many walkers using it. And because it is such a beautiful house, everyone cannot help but look at it!

"We had a brilliant time - our third visit to this stunning property."
We find its design amazing with the fantastic windows giving full views of the glorious surroundings, while much attention has been devoted to rendering all the rooms tasteful, attractive and comfortable. With so many superb and high quality features, the Old Police House provides the most perfect base for staying in the gem that is Grasmere.

"We had a wonderful week the house was lovely."
Only problem was the cleanliness issues.
The fridge drawer full of crumbs.
Freezer was the same.
Downstairs bathroom had lots of mould around shower bottom and bath taps.
It could have been easily washed off.
Under the furniture in Downstairs bedroom there was sweet wrappers.
In the upstairs double there was a dirty tissue behind bedside drawers.
Nothing that spoilt the holiday but things you'd not expect or want to find in your holiday home.
Thank you for your comments, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
We are sorry for the issues that you experienced with cleanliness. We will ask our Housekeeping team to look into this.
Thank you.

"This is a beautiful property in a beautiful and convenient location."
Having uninterrupted views to Silver Howe lifted all our spirits. So many possibilities to walk from the house was great - a few minutes on the flat to the village for those with mobility problems and many possibilities to hills and tarns for those who wanted to explore further to hike and wild swim. The layout of the house is great with everything we needed and ground floor space for my elderly Mum. The kitchen is very well equipped. We filled the bird feeders and enjoyed watching the birds, sat on the patio or opened the upstairs living room trifold doors and watched and waved to the passers-by.
Two things that would have made it even better- we washed pretty much everything in the kitchen before use as it hadn’t been cleaned properly in the dishwasher and so had food residue on it - can’t believe people put stuff away like this but maybe the cleaners need to check this? Put instructions on the dishwasher about rinsing food, leaving gaps between things, not blocking the rotating arm? - took us a couple of washes to get a wash where everything was clean and didn’t need re washing by hand.
We found the thermostats set too high and though they are easy to reset, the timings meant getting up after going to bed to reset them and waking up in the morning overheated and resetting them. Consider some adjustment to the programmes and just overall lower temperatures set to avoid this. The house is really well insulated so not sure why the temperatures need to be set so high.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and the views.
We take all comments on board.

"We have stayed in the Old Police House probably 4 times now and it is booked for September 2023 too!"
! There are 4 of us, 2 couples and it is ideal. It is warm, cosy, well equipped and in a perfect location. Even better now there is a king sized bed upstairs!!! The kettle is leaking badly from the base. We left a note. We filled the bird feeders!! Jill Russell and Gillian Thomas

"We enjoyed our stay and for our family of 4 we had ample room."
The property has been well designed with great views and pleasant evening sun. The only issue we had is around the comfort of the single beds in both of the twin rooms. We would love to rebook for next near BUT need some assurances that they single beds in the twin rooms and need mattress toppers (which are NOT expensive) as our teenage daughters could feel the springs from the mattresses. One of our daughters complained of sleeping badly each night which I find unacceptable at this price bracket quite frankly. Everything else felt like a home-from-home so ideal! PLEASE FIX SINGLE BEDS!!
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry that the single beds were uncomfortable. We have four new beds on order to be delivered in early November. We do hope that this will encourage you to book The Old Police House again. Property Owner

Been visiting Grasmere for many years & that was the best weather we've ever had. Would love to return to the Police House if the price was reduced as very expensive. It was a special celebration for us with our family so thank you so much for a very memorable week !

"Extremely disappointed that there was not a hairdryer."
Clearly this had been a problem for other people as we found an empty hairdryer box in one of the cupboards. In 35 years of holidays in the lakes we have never had a house without a hairdryer. As we all have hairdryers at home we didn't want to buy another and even rang to ask if it would be possible to borrow one. This did spoil our experience somewhat.
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry about the lack of hairdryer and will provide one for each of the en-suite bedrooms. Property Owner

"Water drained away from the upstairs bathroom and en suite basins very slowly."
They probably need cleaning out. Very disappointing that there is not a king size bed in the upstairs main bedroom. There is room for one with small bedside tables each side. House very cosy and warm. It is very comfortable and kitchen well equiped.
Glad you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the feedback. The drainage issues you describe have been cleared. We have replaced the double bed in the upstairs en suite bedroom with a new king sized bed. Property Owner

We only had six adults this year and this was comfortable, I would say that the accomodation should be listed as three adult bedrooms and a childrens room.

"Pros: fantastic cottage, great location, amazing views."
Good customer service, they were quick to sort out a couple of issues we had.
Cons: the under floor heating was on too hot. There are no instructions on how to turn it down. The thermostat were on a program and set too high. Even after speaking with customer services, I didn't feel like we knew what to do.
On the other hand it was cold in the evening in the downstairs lounge.
One last thing, it would be good to have a small saucepan. They were all very big. Note that the Tefal non-stick pan is badly worn and not safe to use. It should be replaced really.
