Wisteria

We had a very nice stay at Wisteria cottage.

We absolutely loved the garden and the amazing views. Combined with the quirky interior decorating, this makes it one of the favourite places we have ever been to. The mattress is the only thing that could have been better. It is a bit lumpy. We would gladly return for another stay and can only recommend this property to others.

Wisteria is a lovely property with great views from the patio/garden over the mountains.

I particularly liked the upstairs bedroom (comfortable bed) & sitting room which also had great views and was spacious. The bathroom was really good although the wc did not flush at times. I really liked this space and while the downstairs was well equipped it had limited storage and low headroom (I'm average height which was perfect). Overall Wisteria has been very nicely decorated and furnished, while very clean. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Lovely cosy cottage , the highlight is the amazing gardens with the views but you have to be lucky with the weather to enjoy them.

Only a short walk into Grasmere village and 2 good pubs within walking distance.

Wisteria Cottage is a real gem.

The views from the private garden over Helm Crag and the surrounding mountains are spectacular. The garden is large for such a small property and is pretty, with plenty of seating options. The property is actually part of a much larger mansion, seperated into different dwellings, but we found it to be quiet and other residents did not disturb us.The cottage is cosy and the kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment, including knives sharp enough to prepare meat, fish and vegtables. Good quality shower. The views from the upper room are wonderful and with such a large window it was the obvious place to sit inside. Easy access to the village (around 12 minutes walk to centre) and to local walks. Not a holiday home for anyone with mobility issues, as there are steep steps and a long uneven path between the car park and the front door.

We loved staying in Wisteria Cottage, and it made for a perfect New Year's getaway break.

The Cottage is located in a quiet rural area, but is within close walking distance to local shops, pubs and restaurants in Grasmere. And it is ideally located for hiking and walks on the fells. There are stupendous and famous Lake District mountain destinations and walks practically on your doorstep, and we could not have been happier with this location. The Cottage is also very cozy and comfortable to stay, decorated with a clear sense of style, with an excellent bathroom and a kitchnette that is very well equipped for its size. The bed is super-comfortable, and the we really liked to sink in the bathroom. The host was also superbly considerate, taking care of our initial queries relating to allergies promptly and carefully. And we were so pleasantly surprised to find a little gift basket to welcome us when we arrived (the jam was especially tasty!). We would definitely stay at Wisteria Cottage again.

Lovely apartment with great views.

Grasmere restaurants just a short walk away. Great walking right out the front door. Would definitely recommend

The property is situated a short walk away from the centre of grasmere village which has all the usual tourist needs such as Shop, coffee shop, etc etc etc.

The nearest pub is even closer and serves good food and beer. The property itself is as described. It is very comfortable and has all the equipment you would need for a very pleasant stay. If you book this property i doubt you would be dissapointed. Yes, the steps leading down to the property would be slightly challenging for the less agile and something to bear in mind but this is described in the booking info. The enclosed garden is superb and commands stunning views. I would fully recommend a stay here if you are visiting the Lake District. The welcome gift was also a nice gesture. We would certainly return.

We were bowled over by the garden and views .

The property was very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay at Wisteria cottage.

It was well equipped, apart from being provided with only one tea towel and no oven gloves. The large garden is outstanding. Enhanced by the sound of running water from the stream and the various plants and trees. The views are stunning! It is tricky negotiating the steps down to the property, but it’s well worth it. We very much appreciated the tasty treats too.

The property was lovely and had everything we needed, the views were stunning!

Our only complaint would be about the bed, it was awful, one side was higher than the other and the right hand side of the mattress as you lay on it was sagging to the point that you could fall off the side. Thankfully there was a sofa bed as this was where one of us slept most the week. It’s such a shame as everything else was lovely and we still managed to have a fabulous time.

This property is a perfect example of how holiday cottages should be - purposefully designed with a cozy and homely feel, and equipped with everything you could need, from kitchen utensils to extra towels and blankets, ensuring a complete and comfortable stay.

I wouldn’t change a single thing about this property, and I will definitely be adding it to my list of places to revisit in the future

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.

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.

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.

“Wisteria cottage” was absolutely amazing located in a lovely area of the “Lakes” wisterias comfort and decor is exceptional Margaret the proprietor was very helpful when I had a “doh” moment.

Property was very clean,warm and welcoming the fizz and cake was much appreciated my wife and I loved every second here.

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.

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 had a lovely stay at Wisteria cottage, very cozy and quirky.

Perfect for a couple, great place to relax, very peaceful. Everything was provided, and a welcome gift, lovely thought. Great location for walks, and fantastic views from the spacious garden. Shame we had to leave but hope to return in Summer.

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.

Beautiful location, stunning views with a great outside space to enjoy and relax day or night.

Property was comfortable and well equipped. Well worth a visit.

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.

We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Wisteria cottage.

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.

Lovely location and garden, well appointed, however spoilt by the basement kitchen/lounge as damp smell was overwhelming and made it unusable for us.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Wisteria cottage.

It was well equipped and comfortable. The bedroom, with its large living area, was a nice space to relax after a busy day. The garden was attractive with great views over Helm Crag and Silver Howe. It was a great location for accessing walks and a short walk into Grasmere. Margaret, the owner, was very helpful with any queries.

We had a wonderful stay at Wisteria - the cottage is beautifully situated and has lots of thoughtful style details both inside and out.

We will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage, great location short walk into the village centre and a great view.

What an absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Perfect location for walking, climbing and Pubs. It was really quiet and peaceful just what we needed. The accommodation is fantastic and had everything we required we wouldn't hesitate book again.

We really loved our stay especially having the garden aspect was a bonus I would highly recommend

Wisteria is a beautiful property which has been renovated and furnished to an impeccable high standard, with tasteful and innovative flourishes that give it a unique feeling.

The cottage is comfortable, warm and cosy, and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedroom feels luxurious and the bathroom featuring the large double sink, walk in shower with waterfall shower head is very glamorous. The private outdoor space is perfect for relaxing, while enjoying the fabulous views. It is a short walk into Grasmere where there is a good choice of places to eat, and a well stocked shop for buying supplies.

In the advert it does not indicate the property is part of a shared block and part of shared block was currently being refurbished - not a deal breaker but people should be aware.

Property is located perfectly for those not wanting to be in the village with easy access to the village and local amenities.

The location of the cottage is magnificent , the views from the garden are second to none, the garden is beautiful and has excellent locations to sit and relax.

The kitchen is well equipped and dining space area was perfect for breakfasts and dinners. The views from the bedroom and sitting areas are wonderful To improve this area I think two new easy chairs would be a nice upgrade The bathroom although in keeping with the property might need a 2021 upgrade Fantastic walking from the door , no need to use the car '

Excellent location for our holiday with great walks near the property.

The local pub was excellent and we really enjoyed our time in Grasmere.
