Honeywood House

Lovely house in excellent location 10 minutes from Grasmere centre.

Great views from every window and the delightful garden giving sun and shade. All bedrooms with excellent en suites. The main bedroom is amazing, more like a hotel apartment. Great kitchen and plenty of room for six around the dining table. Strangely, all the doors to the property have graunchy locks that need some effort to lock and unlock. Also the double doors from the kitchen and double doors intp the sitting area have very strong strings and need some effort to open. Otherwise just great, would definitely book again.

We were a party of five adults, including my parents in their nineties & we all agreed that this was one of the best cottages we have stayed in over the years.

The interior is beautifully maintained & every room very well equipped. There is a very big en suite bedroom on the first floor & two more en suite bedrooms up another flight of stairs. The only negative point we feel should be mentioned is the garden. This used to be one big house but now divided into two, both for rent. We had our own lawn plus patio at the side of the house, but only a very low wall separated the garden belonging to our next door neighbours, in fact directly outside our Lounge window was their lawn & garden table/chairs. Fortunately there were no problems but this could easily have made things difficult. Grasmere is a glorious place to stay in & the views were breath taking.

Great thoughout - possibly the best we've stayed in.

Lovely cottage in every way: clean, warm, well equipped beautifully furnished and decorated, and perfectly located.

We returned to Honeywood House after some years and stayed during a cold spell in January.

The first and second floors (bedrooms and bathrooms) were warm and cosy. However, the ground floor (living room, kitchen, and dining area) felt cold and was inadequately heated by the central heating system. The living room could be warmed by the log-burning stove, though this took time. The radiator in the dining area was not working, and while an electric oil-filled radiator had been placed there, it was not powerful enough to heat the space. On the ground floor, there are two sets of doors between the living room and hallway, and between the hallway and kitchen. These doors are fitted with closers but are not soft-close, meaning they slam loudly and could pose a risk if fingers were caught. The doors could not be propped open because the hallway, into which the front door opens, was very cold, and leaving them open would have worsened the heating issue.

Wow!

A wonderful stay at Honeywood House. A beautiful and comfortable property in a perfect location just a gentle stroll from the centre of the village. Stunning views from every aspect. The added new year welcome treats were also very appreciated and a fabulous touch! Can’t wait to visit again.

The property was again very good.

There are just a few things we would sort out to make it excellent, but these are small things to hit perfection! The front door needs draught excluder to fix the cold air that blows in. The top floor bedroom on the field side needs its banging door fixing - we had to wedge it with paper overnight. The drain at the back door needed clearing of leaves as it was pooling badly. The TV remote on off button seemed broken.

Having just returned from Honeywood house, we had an amazing time there.

The house is truly beautiful, fab location in the village, magnificent views from every window, the attention to detail with the soft furnishings and super well equipped kitchen all add to the comfort and luxury of the house. The house was super warm, we experienced very cold weather with snowfall whilst there, but the house was always lovely and warm especially with the Wood fired stove in the lounge. I am actually writing this reluctantantly, as we already can't get in again for the same time next year!!

From start to end, Honeywood lived up to our expectations.

The care and attention to the facilities, decor, and home comforts were first class. Simply put, this house is clearly loved and respected by its owners! We would certainly recommend Honeywood to a group of couples or a large family. We particularly appreciated 3 en Suite bathrooms, and our young grandson adored the waterfall tap in the main bathroom! Thank you for helping to make my 60th birthday celebration so enjoyable. ****** As a side note to the owners, on the 2nd day, we noted the French doors had been left unlocked. Also, the door handle from the dining area to the coat hall is very tricky, and sometimes not turning to open. We wonder if this could fail at some point soon.

A beautiful cottage in an excellent location, only a 5 min walk from the centre of Grasmere with car parking.

Kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are really comfortable. This is our second stay in this cottage and would highly recommend. For you only: Areas for improvement i) lights above kitchen table were flickering which we think is the switch not the bulb ii) TVs were sometimes difficult to switch on straight off, would state no signal. Some simple instructions by the TV of what do do may help with this.

Absolutely faultless, our second holiday in this lovely house and we plan to return.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed to a very high standard. Grasmere is perfectly located for exploring the rest of the Lake District, plenty of buses to the main areas and so many walks from the door that we could (almost) have managed without a car.

An absolutely lovely property.

We loved our stay and had no issues at all. Kitchen worked well and had everything we needed with a good dining table. Nice outside space and comfortable TV room for later in the evening. All the bedrooms were excellent and you can see the work and thought that went into the refurbishment. Location and views plus amenities in Grasmere were great. Many Thanks

The cottage was furnished to a high standard and we found everything we needed was supplied.

I’d definitely book it again.

This was our second stay at Honeywood House and it didn't disappoint.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable, alot of thought has gone into this house providing everything needed for a perfect stay. Grasmere has alot to offer, walks on the door step, good bus links, recommend Lewis bistro and Emma's dell for food.

The property is in a great location close to Grasmere, and is nicely finished.

Wonderful hill views with herdwick sheep roaming. Please read the property notes carefully as there is only ONE parking space for a small car to the side of the property, other guests will have to rely on street parking which can be very difficult in busy Grasmere! The property has a lovely master suite with en-suite. The 2 further bedrooms are on the third floor both with en-suites, so great for couples, just note those bathrooms are very small, tall/large guest may find it very tight… The property is an end of terrace with nice front garden, however, you will overlook your neighbors in their garden, from the sitting room.

The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, we had everything we needed and more.

It was a 60th birthday weekend for my husband which made it even more special. We had the beautiful master bedroom with fabulous views and a wonderful en-suite. The position was perfect for a gentle stroll into Grasmere and all the attractions were close by. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Honeywood House and would certainly recommend it to others.

It is ideally located, extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped. Despite the dining room radiator not working( on what must have been the coldest night of the year!) it was dealt with promptly and we were provided with a heater. The wood burner was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will be back.

This was an excellent property, well designed and fitted out with modern fittings, really comfortable.

We had no problems during our stay and found the location an excellent base not only for looking around Grasmere, but also for sightseeing around the Lake District whether by car or by bus.

Lovely, comfortable house, with good facilities and in a great location.

Easy walk to Grasmere village from the property. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous property in an ideal location.

Real luxury accommodation and equipped with everything you need. The tvs are difficult to use especially in the main bedroom. I think a bbq should be included. Apart from these minor points it was a perfect holiday house in the Lake District. X

A fantastic property which has clearly had so much thought put into the preparation.

This is our second time to stay at this lovely property.

We will definitely be booking again next year. Just perfect everything on your doorstep yet very quiet with beautiful views from every window. We just parked our other cars across the road no problem at all. Sue and John

Let down by parking issue.

If more than one car forget it. Mad neighbours don't help. Ruined our weekend!

It was lovely to receive a welcome hamper and to have christmas trees up and decorated.

This helped us settle in right away. A beautiful property in a beautiful area.

Very lovely and comfortable holiday property with excellent furniture and fittings and decorated to a high standard.

Master bedroom bed extremely comfortable and we enjoyed looking at the hills from the bath. Would happily stay again.

Fantastic cottage.

We had a lovely stay. Laura at Sykes cottages was so helpful and able to get our trip organised with short notice. The cottage was very well placed for Grasmere and the surrounding areas. Really well equipped and decorated to a high specification and it was a delight to stay there. A real home from home. And the wood burner ……. Just what we were after. Thanks again.

Honeywood House is a beautiful, comfortable home!

Key retrieval was easy. The kitchen is the best outfitted of any vacation rental I have stayed in. Bedrooms and baths are well appointed and comfortable. Location in beautiful Grasmere is perfect. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Lovely property in great location.

Spacious comfortable bedrooms. Had everything we needed. Great efficient dishwasher, washing machine & tumble drier. Will hopefully stay again. Many thanks

Fabulous property in a fabulous location.

Beautiful and well maintained. Hope to return soon.

A beautiful property, decorated perfectly and comfortably.

A perfect location, walking distance to Grasmere.

The nicest holiday let we've stayed at in the Lakes (in over 20 years).

So comfortable, pristine clean, and equipped with everything we needed. Loved sitting out in the secluded garden and just a short stroll to great places to eat out. Walks for all abilities from the door. Perfect.

A wonderful place to stay, they had everything you needed and more!

A perfect location too with just a short walk to Grasmere centre.

We first saw this house when it was being renovated but never had chance to stay until now.

You enter a cloakroom/boot room then into a lovely dining area and kitchen then into a lovely lounge. Everything was well thought out including the downstairs toilet. The cosy fire was perfect on a cold day. The bedrooms were lovely plenty of storage and fantastic views from every room in the house. It is in a very quiet spot with a lovely garden. We had everything we needed. Very close to all the amenities. We will definitely be back

Tv always came on with HDMI 2 not HDMI 1 as it should.

We soon learnt how to fix but had to do it each time we switched on. We find big leather sofa less than comfortable for us - consider on next change. Otherwise we were very happy - thank you!

Super comfortable well equipped house.

Not the most “interesting” but a great holiday home

An excellent property, but severely let down by the quality of the beds/mattresses/pillows.

Cheap mattresses that offer no support. A bed frame which creaks every time someone moves. Pillows with no filling and which fall into the gap between the mattress and the bed-frame. Agh!!! But apart from that every thing else was excellent.

Perfect in every way, thank you once again for a great holiday.

brilliant.

..all needed amenities. thanks

Lovely property, and in a good location.

We note that 3 recent visitors questioned the lack of a 'starter pack' for the log burner and the response in each case being that the owner was rectifying the situation - well they still haven't! Also not a single 'tab' for the dishwasher? This is the first 5* Lakelovers property we have been to that has been missing this type of 'little touch'. Come on, don't blame it all on Covid, you can do better. However, we had a great time and would recommend the property.

Fabulous cottage, lovely and clean and warm.

Tasteful and comfortable furnishings. Beautiful walks from the cottage. Particularly enjoyed the walk to Ambleside, Grasmere with lunch at the Britannia and Alcock Tarn. Disappointed that after a long journey, there wasn’t a starter pack of logs to enable us to light the fire. It does mention this in the cottage reviews from others that the owners had rectified this so we didn’t take any. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage, well maintained and comfortable beds.

The location is excellent with lovely views. It was a great stay. The only bit of feedback we could think of was no welcome hamper of any kind, which we've had at every other cottage over the years, so don't expect to turn up and there be a pint of milk, some lovely scones or any other lovely treats which is a shame considering how much the cottage is and nor is any wood provided for the fire, even just for one night.

Very lovely and well appointed property, with everything you could possibly need.

The only thing I would say is, we knew there was a log burner and usually when we have been in winter to a cottage, logs have been provided. We did manage to source some, but we could have arrived prepared had we known. Many thanks for a lovely stay at your property

Great property and beautifully furnished.

Frying pan needs replacing and could do with rug in sitting room. We broke a wine glass - do we owe you? They are a little fragile!

The accommodation was excellent, clean , tidy , a really beautiful house for 6 people to comfortably stay in for a week.

The kitchen was brilliant we were able to prepare and cook our own meals as the equipment and crockery was all clean and in excellent condition. All the rooms were spotless , hats off to the cleaners they had done an amazing job especially in these COVID times , the addition of The White Company products was lovely , the house smelt lovely all week. All the bedrooms and bathrooms had been prepared to a very high standard. The addition of seating in the garden was great and we were able to dine inside and out. We had a wonderful stay at Honeywood House , and would highly recommend it . The stroll into Grasmere is not too far and its location for the pubs and shop makes it a really good place to stay.

Honeywood house is beautiful.

Very well appointed and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay again. We didn’t want to leave.

Had a fabulous week at Honeywood House, plenty of room for the 6 of us and all our walking gear.

Excellent facilities in the house and perfect location for all that Grasmere offers. Will definitely be back.

We have been to the property before and it was as good as we remembered.

It is in an excellent position and the house has everything you need. There is a good size porch for storage of coats and shoes and a heater to dry them if needed which is an added bonus which you don’t find in a lot of cottages. Will definitely be back.
