• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wisteria Cottage."

  The cottage was warm and cosy and had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch, thank you. Although it's possible to illuminate the steps from the cottage gate down to the entrance, the remaining steps from the carpark should also be lit if possible as it's pitch black and possibly dangerous for some guests.

• "Lovely cosy feel."

  Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely gardens with beautiful views of the fells. The only slight downside was no window/view from kitchen/living room area - this was not clear from the property description. Excellent communication from Margaret.

• "Great cottage, directions and description were spot on, we had big smiles on our faces as we walked down the steps to the property for the first time."

  Beautiful views and a short walk into grasmere. Weather not great so didn’t get to enjoy the garden as much as we would have liked as it is well thought out with multiple seating options. A lovely cosy retreat for our visit.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback and so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

• "We loved the fresh cake and prosecco with dog treats - this was a really lovely suprise."

  The property overall was fine although we hadn't realised that there was no windows in the main living area so we had to hang out in the bedroom if we wanted a view - and that was limited by the trees. The property heated up well - this was needed since it was jolly cold while we were there. However there were no logs for the log burning stove - we brought some up with us incase this was the case - but if you advertise a log burner and say fuel is included you should provide logs. We tried to get in touch before our holiday to find out if logs were provided and simply couldn't get in touch with Lakelovers - I tried on many occasions and eventually left a message for them to get back to us - still no reply. Very bad customer services - will try to avoid Lakelovers in future. If there was a real problem I have no confidence that we would have got any sort of response from them. We saw a few rats scurrying around outside the property and there was an alarming russling behind the sink so i think the owners need to address the rat situation.

  As with all guests I contacted you prior to your arrival at which point you could have asked me personally about the wood Nevertheless there was a supply of heat bricks in the fully accessible utility room.I am sorry you did not enjoy the view of the brook and trees from the window but the view of Helms Crag from the garden is spectacular. With regards the alleged vermin I am shocked as I have not had any comments prior or post your visit but rest assured if true will be dealt with immediately. Published on behalf of owner.

• "Wisteria is a stunning cottage, just as beautiful as the pictures."

  We had lovely gifts on arrival, even something for the dog which made us all feel very welcome. The furnishings and fittings are high quality and tasteful. The bed and bedding hotel standard. The cupboards well stocked with everything we could’ve needed. Phone charging either side of the bed was really appreciated as were the usb/charging ports downstairs. The upstairs is a big beautiful space with great views. And then there’s the big garden with the brook running through with places to sit, you have your own little piece of the lakes. The perfect place to relax. The downstairs clever and varied lighting options make up for there being just the door and the upstairs makes up for that for natural light. It was a little walk into town which could be a problem for some, it wasn’t for us. There are a few steps down to the house from the parking area which would be an issue for some for unloading the car but we managed ok. We are very likely to book again if we’re heading to grasmere. Highly recommend.

• "Our visit was cut short due to the bad weather but nevertheless we found Wisteriato be a perfect weekend retreat."

  The cottage was warm and cosy and well equipped with everything we required. The cottage is in a great location with an easy walk into Grasmere and close to two local pubs. The views from the garden are stunning and we would definitely return to take advantage of the outdoor seating areas when the weather improves!!

• "When we got there the key safe was broken and as we was checking in on a Sunday we had to contact Emergency number, leave voice mail, wait for someone to get back to us, wait for someone to come out to the property."

  All of this took around an hour. The wood burner doesn’t have any logs or tools. Very cold property needed the heating on nearly 24/7. Plus only 2 windows in whole of property. So many light switches that trying to turn a light on was a game of guess who. Floors dusty as well.

  The lockbox was not broken and I believe this was user error The heating is at a constant minimum temperature of 16 degrees The downstairs open plan layout covers a kitchen, dining and lounge area There are 6 switches that operate the outside light, wall lights and 4 lighting zones to cover the total downstairs.

• "This was the perfect holiday cottage for us, in the heart of the lake district."

  The cottage itself had a lovely quiet poistion, with a very short walk to the pub and not much further into Grasmere where there was a great choice of coffee shops and places to eat. The cottage itself had everything we needed with great decor throughout. Would love it in the summer when you could sit in the garden but unfortunately for us it was a bit wet and chilly! The biggest advantage for us was that you could do fantastic walks from the cottage itself, can recommend a walk up Helm Crag. The owner of this property was particularly helpful as we left something behind and kindly posted it back for us the next day which we were very greatful for . We would definately recommend this cottage and am sure that we will return.

• "We stayed for a week, early October 2023."

  Weather was a bit iffy but we still had a fabulous time. The cottage is set just on the edge of town with magnificent views of Helm Crag. We were able to have breakfast in the garden by the fast flowing stream on the days the sun came out. All the eateries and pubs of Grasmere are within walking distance even with a brolly also the Yan and Travellers Rest on the outskirts of town are very close. The cottage has great areas to read / relax and the tv has Netflix etc. it’s a 5 hour walk from the cottage the to the top of Helm Crag, then along the top to the back of Easedale and finally back through the valley. Awesome views throughout this walk, then you can enjoy a g&t from the cottage garden and look up at the magnificent view to where you have just been

• "Fabulous house."

  ..had all we needed and more, plus the quirky decor which we loved. Perfect location for Grasmere, spectacular views of Crag Helm....very peaceful. We would be very happy to stay again and the only negative(i am digging deep)....steep steps to cottage so you need to be able bodied (this was stated in the description so we were expecting that). Great place to stay and relax in a perfect cental location for walks.

• "Access to the property was herendous, 4 flights of very uneven steps with slopes in between, not to mention the distance from the parking area."

  Loading and unloading was a nightmare. Whilst the property was alright in itself, it was very dark and dingy. The living area being below ground level with the only window being in the door. Outside the door were high shrubs allowing very little light in.If it is intended to continue to allow dogs, I would suggest the addition of a stair gate across the bottom of the stairs (I brought mine with me) Upstairs was alright if you are happy being in a bordellow. The property was equipped adequately and the heating was very efficient. The views from the garden were beautiful.Would I stay there again? No way.

  I am so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay Access to the property is noted on the description as are photos of the property Property Owner

  It’s in a great location and just a short walk into Grasmere village. The cottage is stylishly decorated with a lovely large bedroom and a well equipped kitchen. A big plus for us was the garden which was great for relaxing and taking in the fantastic view. We would recommend The Yan restaurant, just a 15 minute walk away.

• "Wanted a quiet get away without all the family and this was a perfect choice."

  The property was finished to a high standard and was clean and tidy .The kitchen was small but well equipped . We loved sitting looking out the bedroom window which afforded lovely scenery all be it obscured slightly by the trees. The gardens which had several seating areas were well maintained affording lovely views to the hills and countryside beyond. Grassmere is about 10 minutes walk and there are also a few inns nearby. I would say that it would not be suitable if you have any mobility issues .I had a slight leg injury at the time and found it difficult to walk back from Grassmere and also negotiating the steps and gravel path to the parking area of the cottage . I would recommend a stay at this cottage for its tranquility and location.
