Groffa Crag Farmhouse

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend stay at Groffa Crag Farmhouse. A family get together for my mother’s 80th where 11 of us stayed in wonderful comfort. The house is huge with various living rooms and bedrooms spread over three floors (and table tennis in the basement). Perfectly clean and extremely well-appointed with a huge dining room where we enjoyed family meals. Setting is awe-inspiring with views for miles towards Coniston in one direction and Morecambe Bay in the other. Groffa Crag is warm, secure and welcoming with Ulverston market town a ten minute drive away. The current owner is extremely helpful and the management company also went out their way to ensure a trouble-free stay. We noticed a poor review posted previously. I would encourage anyone reading this to disregard that review. It was absolutely not our experience.

Wonderful views towards Coniston and coast. Comfortable and spacious well apponted accommodation with excellent facilities. Excellent base for large group to explore southern Lakes and fine local walks. Sensibly priced.

The house was disgustingly filthy on arrival! We had just had a 7 hour car journey with a toddler and then had to try and find a hotel with a room available at 8pm on a Friday evening, with a tired and hungry child. The owner and the booking agent (Sykes Cottages) had the nerve to refuse me a refund until I threatened legal action! Steer clear of this place and Sykes Cottages.
