A beautiful, spacious and characterful apartment ideally positioned in the centre of Grasmere, with a choice of fell walks from the door which meant that our car wasnt moved from its allotted space outside the door. Spinners is one of the best equipped holiday lets that we have stayed in. We were there during a cold and wet week in February but SpiRead morenners was warm and the lovely throws and blankets made it feel extra cosy in the evenings. The large heated area in the hall was perfect for coats, boots, rucksacks etc with a large coat rail and big trays to put wet boots in. Were often disappointed that other owners dont provide this simple solution to wet walking gear. We will definitely return to Spinners in the near future. Thank you to the owners for making this a home from home, you have thought of everything. Hide

Spinners is a beautiful apartment in a beautiful village. Apartment is extremely well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for two couples to enjoy together and still have complete privacy. My only reservation is that possibly best for couples with no mobility issues. The restaurant Goody Blakes severs excellent food, with very friendly staff. The cafe Read moreby the bridge serves the best bacon sandwiches we have every tasted. The staff in the Mountain Warehouse also very friendly. The bus services through the village mean that you can travel over a wide area and leave the car on the car park. Honister Pass and Kirkstone Pass on the bus is something I will never forget. We did the twice. All in all and excellent 2 week holiday. Hide

A nice apartment which would benefit greatly from central heating. I appreciate we made a late booking but there was a distinct lack of heat when we arrived. So much so we ate out the first night, not our plan after a long drive. We used 4 blanket throws on the bed, and I am an outdoor person! We adjusted the controls on the storage heaters which iRead moremproved things slightly. It is the only property we have been to where there has not been a welcome pack. Thank goodness I remembered tea bags as the only thing in the kitchen cupboards was Salt and Pepper. Very well equipped plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses etc. Very conveniently position with the bonus of off road parking. Beneath the apartment is Goody Blakes Restaurant with an excellent menu, superb chef and lovely ambience. Would I recommend, yes, but possibly not in cold weather. Hide

We really enjoyed our week in 'Spinners'. It is spacious, cosy and very well appointed, in a great location. Little things like having a parking space and (3) smart TVs weren't part of why we chose it, but ended up being very welcome - especially when the February rain was hammering down!

The only problem we had was getting TVs in all the bedrooms and Lounge to work. The instructions for the TVs were good, however most of the remote controls had something wrong with the batteries. We bought our own batteries for the lounge TV remote control. All the remote controls needed checking and cleaning inside. At least two remote controls Read morehad batteries leaking chemicals they were that bad. I did complain in a e-mail to Original Cottages but got no response. The dreaded work by painters outside the property at the time of our visit only causes minor in convenience in the end. Overall we did like this property very much, found it nice and comfortable and would certainly wish to go back some time. Hide
