Nestled in the hidden paradise of Graythwaite Home Farm, Bassicks offers you an unforgettable stay in the heart of the Estate. Bassicks welcomes you through a private glazed entrance through to an open-plan hall, kitchen and dining area. Following through the property you will find the living space complete with a log burning stove to cosy up to after a long day in the fells, or during those Winter nights with a hot cup of coco. This open plan layout makes social cooking, dining and entertaining easy and relaxed. A perfect property for group getaways! The Graythwaite Home Farm Courtyard truly is the beating heart of the Estate – accessed via the iconic and enchanting trail bordered with cheery blossom trees, you are truly entering a very special place. Here, you will be less than a mile from the shores of Lake Windermere where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake without the hustle and bustle, or even book in an action-packed activity with the star-studded Graythwaite Adventure. The Courtyard is within easy reach of our fabulous facilities, such as the communal heated swimming pool which can be booked in advance of your stay and the home farm shop offering locally produced products. You are also able to pre-order groceries and treats from the shop to be ready in your property for you when you arrive! You are also welcome to make use of the communal games room, the communal dining and BBQ facilities dotted across the courtyard and children’s play area, found through the historic and rustic stone walls of the Courtyard leading out through the forest and natural surroundings beyond.
- "Great stay. I would maybe just look into the dampness of the property as a number of us came away poorly." - "We really enjoyed our stay. It was just right for what we wanted and it was nice and quiet. If all the properties had been full I suspect it would have been different. The only negative thing was the WIFI - it outed twice at 3pm on two days of our stay - not good when when of our party is working. When it worked it was fine it was just not consistent."

- "The whole property needs a refurbishment and the furniture and fittings are long past their best. On a positive note the grounds are lovely and there is plenty of easy parking. The shop on site is very handy." - "We took our daughter, son, their husband and wife plus 3 young grandchildren for New Year for the second year running. It is so comfortable with plenty of room. Beds comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Lots to do in the surrounding area, walks from the house, Windermere steamer, Aquarium (if rainy). Some of our family tried clay pigeon shooting on the estate and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of other options sound good too. The swimming pool is great - you have to book a session, and they are limited, but it is all yours for that time."

- "Lovely apartment, great location feels very chilled place to stay " - "Overall, nice quiet apartment on the river and handy for us to use as a base for gravel biking. Unfortunately, be aware all transactions and communications are made outside the Vrbo app, something I was NOT made aware of, There is also a requirement for a £200 refundable deposit, which seems excessive for an apartment that was full of food crumbs from the previous guests, and had multiple failing fixtures. Nothing that really affected us, but when I’m paying that much in a damage deposit, I expect real quality from The host! Communication was pretty poor with no information leading up to the holiday about when payments would be taken or when to check in - you only get check information AT the time of check in on your app. I would avoid the host."
