Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the property's cleanliness, with guests commending the spotless condition and the efforts of the cleaning staff, especially during COVID times. The presence of high-quality products adds to the sense of a well-maintained and hygienic environment.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with its proximity to Grasmere centre, local pubs, shops, and scenic walks. The quiet spot with lovely garden and fantastic views from every room is greatly appreciated by the guests.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with mentions of cosy fires, comfortable beds, and well-furnished rooms. However, there are a few remarks about less comfortable sofas and issues with bed frames and pillows, which slightly affect the overall comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of amenities like a dishwasher and washing machine. Some guests noted the need for minor improvements such as replacing frying pans and providing logs for the burner, which suggests room for enhancement in maintenance.
While some guests mention the lack of a welcome pack or starter logs for the burner, there is not enough consistent information across the reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. It is politely noted that while some guests received welcome hampers, such gestures are not guaranteed.
About this property
A high-end honeypot for discerning Lakelovers! The epitome of Lakeland luxury with all the character and cosiness of a traditional rural home, Honeywood House offers a tasteful and tranquil escape for six in sensational surroundings. Just a scenic stroll from the centre of gorgeous Grasmere village, yet pleasantly tucked away to provide that ever so sought-after seclusion, you'll be fully relaxed here, and ready to explore the best the Lakes has to offer.
Arriving at this striking slate-built and substantial property, circumscribed by fine hill scenery, you know you're in for a holiday to remember straight away. A charming building to match the picturesque character of pretty Grasmere, Honeywood House sits on the fringe of this beloved village, perfectly balanced between centrality and peace. Inside, the fine Farrow & Ball décor and elegant furnishings are complemented by excellent facilities, including a high quality contemporary kitchen, where you can rustle up sustaining meals for your party's adventures, and three sumptuous en-suites with monsoon showers. One comes with a free-standing bath tub, too, for some serious unwinding!
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family have been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century and Grasmere Lake, plus Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland Wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.

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
