Hullet Hall Reviews

Undoubtedly a great location, lovely cottage in a super spot. The high price is just about justified but there could be some improvements specifically the kitchen equipment, which is a bit outdated. Old and unmatched glasses, peelers broken, the oven tray had been left to 'soak' in the sink. Small details but justifying a 500night cost .... Maybe the TV could do with upgrading also. All in all a lovely stay, I'd echo the comments about the access road, but fortunately we had a 4x4. Have rebooked for next new year.
Fantastic location & cottage, we just thought the cottage lacked a few cooking ... Fantastic location & cottage, we just thought the cottage lacked a few cooking items that we generally take as a given ie cooking & serving dishes,
The property is in a superb location right next to the Lake and with its own small jetty, and is reasnably comfortable as well. However, there were many niggles which for the sum paid to rent, took the shine off our holiday 1. The road down to it is in a very poor state with large and deep potholes if you have any back issues, which we did, dont do it 2. Brambles grew in from the sides of the road, some of which you couldnt avoid if you value your car paintwork again dont do it 3. The jetty had a few maintenance issues other properties had been renovated, this one hadnt, and there was even some broken glass not cleared from the foreshore 4. the property was not very well cleaned with cobwebs and spiders in the kitchen and the entrance lobby hadnt been cleaned for sometime 5. The best north lakeside walk to Grubbins Point was outofbounds due to a private function, the south walk outside the house, was covered in water so difficult to navigate and the garden that we were told was open, wasn't 6. Maintenance issues are covered by the estate and they dont man the phones at weekends, so any issues on arrival, wont be dealt with until Monday we had a few with the shower head broken, batteries flat in TV control, and not enough drinking glasses there were other missings in the kitchen utilities as well 7. Doorways are quite low, so myself and my eldest daughter who are only 5' 1011 hit our heads regularly 8. The blind to the ensuite doesnt fully cover the sides of the windown glass and there is a footpath at the end of the garden 9. The drawers to the bedroom furniture need easing so they open and they should be checked by the cleaner as we found someone else's sock left behind. Sorry to moan but these were all genuine issues faced, which to be honest for the level of property we were renting and paying for, we dont think we should have encountered.
Gareth
The location is fantastic but the house itself requires updating, when compared to other properties in the area for that price it falls short in certain areas, kitchen and bathroom facilities for example, eg no towel rail or toilet paper holders, only one shower available.
Andrew
A fantastic place to stay which is why weve rebooked for next year! The only down side was the kitchen not being overly well equipped with kitchen utensils and serving platesbowls for example.
Andrew
Great location and the cottage has been upgraded since our last visit 4 years ago. Fabulous time for sure.
Unfortunately we had no hot water due to issue's with the boiler, which the estates maintenance team managered to partly rectify the next day. It ment that the day I proposed to my girlfriend we had to have cold showers after we returned from a hike in the mountains and before we headed out for a celebratory dinner in the evening. Apart from that everything was fine.
The kitchen in the Cottage could be stocked with more basic crockery and cooking implements. Otherwise comfortable
Graham
Having used other cottage rentals which provide a welcome basket of essentials it would be nice to see this with yourselves. The small extra cost added to the price is small
Absolutely stunning location cottage is to a very standard kids and our dog loved it can't reccomend enough
Beautiful house in an incredible private location, literally on the shore of Windermere. It has its own jetty and we sailed everyday. A well equipped kitchen and a log fire in the living room lovely on cool September evenings. Enjoyed ourselves so much we booked it again for next year before we left.
I really am not sure that anyone reads the feedback given! Last year when we stayed at Hullet Hall I remarked that the locks were sticky and that it is not easy to open the doors with the key. This is the same this year, either a new key or oil the locks or replace all the locks. New points Dustbins. There is only one dustbin. So all bagged rubbish has to be kept in the fridgefreezerwashing machine room as there is a wandering Staffordshire Bull terrier, dog, brindled with a long tail that visits and opens any rubbish sacks left outside, distributing the contents widely. I suggest therefore 2 or three wheelie dustbins that can be categorised for recycling. Mixing bowls, there are none. I thoroughly recommend H Hall and will book again, though not in 2019. As a landlord of accommodation for 80 I understand what is required to keep up to date, on top of small problems and keeping the clients content, so I believe that my comments are constructive. Prove me wrong that feedback is read by sending me a personal email!
The kitchen is not well equipped far too few pots and kitchen utensils. The beds in the middle bedroom need to be replaced.
Lindsay
Poor facilities and cleanliness. Dramatically overpriced.
