  • "Grove House was a beautiful house to stay at."

    The amenities were perfect. I just did not agree with having to strip all of the beds at the property and also having to vacate the property at 09:30am in the morning when you can not check in until 4:30pm on the day of arrival, as if you have travelled from further afield this does not give you much time when you arrive and also when you depart.

  • "We went to Grove House for our annual family holiday, and had a wonderful time."

    The house was great with both an old building and a new extension. The kitchen was something else! So much cupboard space! I would have liked to more about the old part of the house as it looked so interesting. Everyone really enjoyed the hot tub. Sometimes there was a queue!

    Thank you for the lovely feedback! We're so glad you had a great family holiday at Grove House. It's wonderful to hear you loved the house, especially the kitchen. We're also happy the hot tub was a hit, even with the queue! Thanks again for your kind words! Property Owner

  • "Our stay at Grove House was truly delightful."

    The house felt like a home away from home, with beautiful soft furnishings and a well-thought-out layout. The underfloor heating in the kitchen was a treat, especially after a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the dining room was perfect for meals or family board games. The beds and pillows were of luxury hotel standard, and each bedroom had ample space for our belongings. It's clear that the property owners prioritize comfort for their guests. The house, spread across four floors, provided plenty of space for our group of 11—3 adults, 6 teenagers, and 2 younger kids. Everyone could relax in and around the house with ease. The games room was a hit with everyone, and the teenagers particularly enjoyed chilling out in the basement lounge, watching Netflix or hooking up their own consoles. The welcome pack was very helpful, with easy-to-follow instructions for all appliances. We were aware before arriving that the location wasn't perfect - but this did not bother us as we had planned to drive out and explore. Egremont's main street however has a Co-op for shopping and other local stores within walking distance, plenty of takeaway options, and lovely places to stop for lunch. We particularly enjoyed The Manor Inn after a trip to St Bees beach. For those looking to explore further, we recommend driving to Lake Derwentwater to hire a boat and take in the stunning views, followed by lunch in Keswick. We also recommend visiting Muncaster Castle, a 30-minute drive from Grove House. The beautiful gardens, parks, cafes, castle tour, and the spectacular skyhunter display of eagles, vultures, and other birds of prey made for a fantastic day out.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at Grove House. It’s great to hear you felt so comfortable and relaxed. We’re glad the house was perfect for your group, and that everyone had a good time. Your recommendations for local activities are fantastic, too. We’ll share them with future guests. Thanks again for your lovely feedback! Property Owner

    Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and the games room. Lovely house with everything we needed for a great time. I would recommend it to anyone who needed a big house for all their family. St Bees was lovely and just a short journey further up the road.

    We're so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time celebrating your 60th birthday at our property! It's fantastic that everyone enjoyed the hot tub and games room.

  • "The house was amazing for the 16 of us it was spacious plenty of space it has a great kitchen and dining room."

    For everyone to be together and we did all sit in the upper lounge but limited seats so we were sat around the floor. We used it as a family get together so there was 5 family's all meeting up from all over the north so it was perfect for us. There is nothing around if you want to walk but we went to Whitehaven and St bees and we had a lovely time.The house was clean the beds were comfortable. We did a tesco hone delivery when we arrived so that was great to have fresh products on hand without going out.The hot tub was an added bonus to the break and we had a family bbq. Sadly there's no grass garden for the kids to kick a football about but the games room made up for it.we had some special requests to arrive earlier and checkout a little later and because they had got it ready and no one was rushing in after us they were amazing to accommodate so thank you for this and we will definitely be using you again and would highly recommend.Janette and the family x

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that the house was perfect for your family reunion. It sounds like you all enjoyed spending time together, especially in the spacious kitchen and dining area. We appreciate you mentioning the upper lounge seating – we'll consider adding a few more chairs for future guests. We're glad the hot tub and games room were a hit, especially since there wasn't a grassy area for the kids to play outside. We understand the importance of those special touches and are happy we could accommodate your requests for an early arrival and late checkout. Thank you again for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Property Owner

  • "Accommodation and location great."

    House is warm and comfortable. There is a shortage of cooking and serving utensils for large numbers wishing to cook big meals like Christmas lunch. The games room has no heating so it's not really viable as a games room in the winter but that meant we used it as a pantry as the fridge is too small for mass catering. A second fridge in the games room would be good for large groups in the summer. The dishwasher cutlery basket need replacing - it's got holes in the bottom which allow the cutlery to fall through and prevent the bottom water jet boom from spinning. The water pressure in the shower downstairs is low and the temperature control is not very easy to use.

    Thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted you found the accommodation and location great, and that the house felt warm and comfortable. We have looked into the issues you raised and have made adjustments to the house to make it more comfortable for future guests. We appreciate you letting us know about the shortcomings with the kitchen equipment, fridge size, and dishwasher basket. We'll definitely look into getting these addressed to better suit larger groups. We also appreciate the suggestion for a second fridge in the games room - that's a great idea, especially for summer months. We apologize for the low water pressure and temperature control issues in the downstairs shower. We'll have this checked by a maintenance person as soon as possible. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. It helps us ensure a consistently positive experience for all our guests. Property Owner

    The property is beautiful but there was a few maintenance issues that need addressing door handles missing or broken which led to getting stuck in a bathroom there is no security lights around the property and this then meant the hot tub and outside area cannot be used when dark which at this time of year is around 3-4pm

We're truly sorry about the inconvenience caused by the missing or damaged door handles and the non functioning security lights. Your safety and security are our priority.

The property

Nestled in the charming market town of Egremont close to the Lake District National Park in Cumbria is the spectacular Grove House.

This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home dates back to the 1880s and benefits from a fabulous location close to the abundance of attractions in the Lake District National Park as well as the Heritage Coast at St Bees.

This imposing semi-detached property has a stunning interior, off-road parking and even a hot tub; the perfect setting for large family gatherings or groups of friends looking to explore the wonders of Cumbria.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can help prepare delicious meals that the whole family can enjoy in the formal dining room with enough seats for everyone!

On sunny evenings you could indulge in an alfresco affair before taking advantage of the house’s amenities which include an external games room with pool table and a hot tub where you can savour a soothing soak and marvel as the stars fill the sky over Cumbria.

On colder nights, gather the family in the welcoming sitting room where the crackling woodburing stove greets you and enjoy a well-earned family film night on the Smart TV before washing off the day’s adventures in either the lower-ground-floor bathroom, the bathroom on the first floor or the shower room on the second.

When yawning begins, choose from eight beautifully-appointed bedrooms; there is a super-king-size and two double on the lower-ground-floor, two super-king-sizes completing the first and one double and two twins finishing off the second floor.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic abode venture into the heart of Egremont where you can stock up on all your self-catering goods or enjoy a much-needed break from the kitchen at O’Hallorans or further afield at The Royal Oak in Beckermet.

Alternatively venture to the coast at St Bees where you can roam the golden shores with your canine companion while admiring the spectacular views across the sea, if you're lucky you may even spot local wildlife like Herring Gulls or Razorbills.

Outdoor enthusiasts can venture into the Lake District National Park to uncover the abundance of walks, trails and summits including High Stile, Dale Head and Scafell Pike.

All this and more awaits at Grove House.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

EGREMONT, CUMBRIA

St Bees 2.7 miles; Whitehaven 5.8 miles

The market town of Egremont is settled in the Borough of Copeland, on the western edges of the Lake District. This bustling town lies at the foot of Dent Fall, with its make-up much the same as it was around the 13th century. The main street opens out into the market place, with the ruins of the Norman castle at the southern end, just above the river Ehen. There are several churches, a couple of supermarkets, arts centre, shops and eateries. Ennerdale Water, nestled in Cleater is the westernmost lake in the National Park and is perhaps the most peaceful of all the lakes. With no public roads running along its National Trust owned shoreline, it is the set well off the beaten track and is the least visited of all the lakes. The seaside village of St. Bees, now the start of Wainwright’s famous “Coast to Coast” Walk, features a Norman priory and Elizabethan public school, as well as a nine-hole golf course and a host of traditional pubs. St. Bees Head is the only Heritage coastline in Cumbria and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, named after the village it sits next to. Abundant walks are available along the clifftops, as well as strolls across its sandy beach. Whitehaven is further up this beautiful coastline, an elegant Georgian port, nestled between the glistening sea and Lakeland Fells. Discover its wonderful parks and gardens and the Beacon Heritage Centre, where you can learn of the town's vast history. Muncaster Castle is 12 miles away, as is the Eskdale and Ravenglass miniature railway, and just over 15 miles away is Wasdale Head, the start of the climb to the summit of Scaffel Pike, the highest mountain in England. An ideal location for touring the western coast of the Lake District.
