Greywalls

We loved the property, the location and the provisions available from the host!

The house is deceptively spacious and a brilliant base to explore the area. Having the sheep free roaming was a big hit with my family, all of the neighbours are friendly and welcoming. The house is very well set up with everything you could need for a family and there is plenty of space to relax. Everything has been well considered and well looked after. Id definitely recommend! I've marked cleanliness down one as we found an old lunchbox and a forgotten pair of pants, though it wasn't in keeping with the rest of the house, it wasn't an ideal entrance.

Excellent stay.

The property had everything we needed and more.

Lovely house , very comfortable .

On the negative side. only one toilet roll supplied and the shower waste pipe was blocked at the drain from the time we got there

Grey walls felt more like a home than a holiday let it was extremely well equipped.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay very peaceful enjoyed a lovely meal at butchers arms , the beds were huge and extremely comfortable will definitely book again .

Beautiful and peaceful with the added bonus of sheep all around.

The cottage is beautifully styled. Despite dad's disability we managed to get him in and out of cottage. There is a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The cottage is very well equipped and beds are comfy. There is a lovely river and if you are lucky you may spot the heron. We didn't do too much while here, but that's what we wanted from the break. We had a lovely meal at The Butchers Arms (a five minute drive) and a day out at Lowther Castle. Morrisons and aldi are a 25 minute drive away. The only thing I'd say it needs is some leaflets/info of the area and a guest book. Other such a charming place to stay.

This is the 2nd visit to Greywalls.

The area is outstanding, love the little hamlet, so quiet and peaceful. Livestock meandering around the local common, munching the fresh grass..absolutely stunning. Greywalls cottage itself has not been as well looked after.. The cleanliness is shoddy. One of the upstairs bedrooms had discarded food, sweet wrappers, crisp packets etc under the the bed, absolutely disgusting. We cleaned up as much as we could reach. The lounge furniture needs replacing very uncomfortable. For a person of limited mobility the carpets are a danger. An upstairs bathroom would be ideal (as we mentioned on our last visit) Also, the smell on entering. It was very musty (damp) On a good point, there is everything you need in the kitchen, very well stocked. It's a pity about the things wrong with the cottage, because the area is heavenly.. Love Maulds Meaburn!

We had a fabulous long weekend, staying at Greywalls.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we wanted in our holiday cottage. The village is beautiful and we loved the sheep. The location was excellent for exploring both Cumbria and Yorkshire. We would stay here again.

Large cottage style house with one bathroom/toilet so 2-4 is fine, 6 would be a challenge.

Very well finished and fitted. Pitch black dark when we arrived at 5pm and impossible to see it, so needs distinct light or illuminated sign. Also ‘strict’ not before 5pm and out by 10am is unhelpful and unnecessary and added a lot of pressure at both ends.

What a gorgeous place!

Such lovely furnishings, spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Oh, and I must not forget the wonderful beds!! Sadly the weather was rather dismal during our stay, but it was great to relax in Greywalls. Beatrix Potter's Hilltop farm was well worth a visit, as were the gardens at Acorn Bank. We also had a nice afternoon at Penrith Castle - where we found a fun Crazy golf!

If you are looking for peace and relaxation then this is most definitely the property for you As soon as i arrived i knew i had come to the right place.

The owners of the property have thought of just about everything that is needed for a comfortable stay.The kitchen is full of every practical item you would need ( pots,pans,cutlery,roasting trays etc).The beds are incredibly comfortable and in the evening i am sure you will feel relaxed in the front room. Maulds Meaburn is based on common land so will find sheep absolutely everywhere ! At night there is no light pollution whatsoever so the night sky if you are lucky will be full of stars.If you like feeling calm and relaxed Greywalls is definitely the place for you !

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet location.

Easy access to Lake District. Well stocked kitchen, beds comfortable & clean, but curtains don't fit the window in the double room, so light came in from 4am. There was no milk on arrival, but we had taken our own.

What a find!

This is a well appointed and well situated property. The property had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Just a shame the weather wasn’t nicer to take advantage of the outside area. Found we were in easy reach of Penrith, Windermere and even went to Scotland for a day (only 1 hour away). Also easy to travel East towards York etc on the A66. Felt at home there, everything clean, beds comfortable and broadband was reliable for phones / smart tv. Would absolutely stay again.

It was perfect, everything you could want, except, the missing 2nd w.

c. even with just 2 of us, it had its moments. But, overall, the location was magic for us as we love quite, peaceful, even sleepy, villages. Unspoilt and beautiful.

We had a wonderful week at Greywalls!

A beautiful cottage that was like a home from home! So well equipped with a gorgeous garden. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you would need for a family break. The village is so quiet and the area is spectacular. We would love to visit again. The Tsao family, Liverpool.

Wow!

Beautiful cottage and so deceptive from the outside. Beautiful interior and such a pretty little garden with two patio seating areas. Is wasn't like a holiday cottage, felt like a true home. To top it all, walks by the river on your doorstep, beautiful peaceful location and the wonderful sound of bleating sheep. The true sound of being on holiday! Nothing to fault as everything had been thought of.

Grey Walls is a lovely comfortable house in a delightful village.

The house was well prepared for our arrival - spotlessly clean. Will certainly return.

Greywalls is a gem of a house in a jewel of a location.

Away from the crowded chaos of The Lakes, and yet they're so easy to get to as are the beautiful Dales. The house was like the Tardis; much bigger than it looks. The family sized kitchen is extremely well equipped, the woodburner made the large comfortable living room very cosy, the beds and linen are exceptionally luxurious and the hot water is blissfully instant! We are a family of 6 who walked, ran, road bikes, visited castle ruins and cosy cafes, and all in all had a thoroughly lovely holiday. Thank you!

The only issue was the log burner struggled to get it going ,have used them many times in other cottage holidays ,but apart from that everything else was tip top .

We arrived late on the Friday due to M6 issues and getting away from our work on time (lecturers).

On arrival it would of been nice to have had some milk for drinks, as we were very thirsty from the journey, There was however, coffee, tea, biscuits, sugar, no milk, salt , pepper or cooking oil, the basics for any stay. It was too late to then go out for such staples until the following day, having to go to Tebay (Southbound), this being quickest, easiest place to get such staples and we had breakfast there. I have stayed at many cottages, all have had such supplies available for the first hot drink on arrival. However everything else about the property was beautiful. The beds were really comfortable and lush, The bathroom was clean and well stocked. The kitchen had plentiful equipment for the weeks stay. The environment was lovely, including the garden area, very well planned out. Development points: 1. It was difficult to identify which bin to use, as the green one looked like it had previously (like our own), been used for garden waste. The blue one stated for specific waste, so this was the only alternative bin to use (blue one?) No recycling instructions available, or equipment for recycling. 2. The file was unclear about the bag colour for the towels / bedding, so blue ikea ones were used by myself, the other guests upstairs left theirs on their beds. 3. Milk on arrival, with supply of salt and pepper, cooking oil. 4. Grammar on the first page of your file needs addressing, looks unprofessional. Other pages in the file (in parts) had spacing errors, again just picky, but would look more professional if reprinted. 5. It may be worth considering a second toilet at the rear of the back entrance, where shoes and boots are to be kept? six adults , queues in a morning! It is relatively large area for boots etc.
