Apart from the safety issue raised above we were wholly satisfied with the property. It is extremely spacious, beautifully appointed and well equipped. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and very comfortable. We appreciated the generous welcome pack. The views from the drawing room and master bedroom are stunning. Lovely to have art work depRead moreicting local scenes. The boot room was very useful (although it was difficult when seven of us were coming in from a wet walk for no one to step on the attractive light coloured carpet in the entrance hall.) It is the most elegant self catering we've ever enjoyed. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at East House. We were a group of eight women who were visiting for wild swimming and hiking. The house was the perfect layout, with a huge living room with fire and big dining table to sit around for meals. And what a view, honestly it was incredible. The two bathrooms upstairs look newly done and they were gorgeous. If youRead morere interested in wild swimming, it was a 10 minute walk down the road to a beach side spot and it was perfect. The town is a 5 minute walk too. Hide

What a wonderful place. The view accross the lake from the living room & main bedroom is just fabulous. Very comfortable living space & bedrooms. Very well stocked kitchen, a welcome pack of tea bags, ground coffee, marmalade & chocs. There is Wood for the fire & it's Very clean & warm. 5/10 minute walk into Grasmere. Book a table at one is the pubRead mores if you want to eat out on Friday or Saturday. We really had the most marvellous week & wanted for nothing. It's so incredibly peaceful there. Hide

Loved the location about a 5-7 Min walk into the west side of town. Views of the lake were beautiful. The garden access is steep and small so not really usable, but there is a bench and the table up against the building that can be used. Bedrooms were a good size but would like to have larger beds to accommodate more adult couples. Some of the furnRead moreiture is a little older but the couches were comfortable . Hide

Fabulously comfortable house! The rooms are much larger than they appear in the photo. A very large kitchen too! The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms were all spectacularly clean. It is within perfect walking distance to Grasmere too. Make sure to bring extra soap for each bathroom though as we ran low since we were there for 6 days.

In addition the water pressure is awful and I had to have baths to get soap out my long hair . The bedroom furniture is very old fashioned and not premium . Only 1 hair dryer for 4 bedrooms. Kitchen has no cake mixer or liquidiser and no coffee maker. Very basic and old crockery . Views lovely but house is unloved. Owner clearly never stays here !
