Bull Pen, Graythwaite

Beautiful setting with lots of activities nearby we had a great week.

Some of the property in particular the kitchen needed better cleaning lots of cobwebs upstairs and in some places of the cottage it is in need of painting. Quite alot of mould in places around the windows because of condensation in particular one bathroom the shower curtain desperately needs replacing as it is covered in mould so we didnt use this shower. The toaster didnt work but we were provided with a new one straight away. The hot water tap in the kitchen is also dangerously hot. We did however overall love the cottage, the beds and towels were immaculate and the space extremely homely and spacious and no denying the location is brilliant and extremely picturesque.

It's a lovely well equipped cottage, and it's great having the swimming pool and small shop on site. One small note is that the tap water is discoloured, and we only found out the reason why and that it's fine to drink after digging through the information pack. A notice by the kitchen sink for example would have put our minds at ease straight away.

This building was not disabled friendly. Steps down to the cottage, then up into the cottage, up into a show half cubicles which was far too small, steps out onto the patio. No toiletry hangers within the show cubicle upstairs so trying to shower, bend down for bottles were near impossible in such a tiny space. Planters blocking disabled parking anywhere near the cottage front door, which had to be moved. 4 cars had punctures on the graythwaite estate!! Not very well maintained. Will not be recommending this holiday venue to anyone.

No problems at all with the Bullpen. We had a family reunion and all 10 of us enjoyed the stay. We have stayed at the Farm House on other occasions, but this was the first time at the Bullpen and we were not disappointed. We had everything that we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative which has nothing to do with the Estate is that the roads are very narrow and quite a few motorists insist on driving over the centre line, making driving rather stressful, which means that unfortunately, I doubt we will return.

Fantastic holiday everyone really helpful only downside is not being able to ... Fantastic holiday everyone really helpful only downside is not being able to swim everyday as pool has to be booked and was shut at 7 sometimes before , when booked online slots were available until 10 however this is not the case

This property was just what we wanted. Whilst it was 'offseason' the peace and calm of the area without large numbers of tourist meant it was a wonderful stay. If anyone wanted peace and tranquility this was the place. The swimming pool , having to be booked, meant the family had a very calm experience. The shop was well supplied and the brochures of available walks were very informative. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a great stay in this beautiful well equipped cottage. . the views are fantastic. Walks were great and so was the swimming pool The whole family also had a great time with Graythwaite Adventures.. Would strongly recommend a stay here, we will be returning again

Our stay at Bull Pen was fantastic. The property was just as described. None of the issues mentioned by the previous review existed for our stay. Heating worked well note it is night storage and hot water was plentiful. Due to the night storage at certain times the room we had our daughter 7 months sleeping in was a little cold but we called the office and they provided an additional electric heater for the room. The kitchen, lounge and dining area were perfect for group socialising, cooking and eating. The grounds extensive with lovely walks. Table tennis and swimming were also great additions. Overall an excellent stay

We all had a brilliant time and will definitely look to be back again sometime soon! Facilities amazing, able to book the pool as and when we wanted and was no noise from any other of the accommodation
