Wheatlands Cottage Reviews

Jonathan

Loved this property so very clean. Very quiet location despite being at the edge of windermere. We parked the car on the drive and used the many open top buses to sight see the whole week. Everything was within walking distance bus stops shops pubs and restaurants Would recommend this property without hesitation.

The cottage was comfortable and clean. It offered a homefromhome environment and facilities. The location of the cottage was great. So close to shops, restaurants and bus stops!

Stephen

We loved our stay at the cottage it had everything we needed. It was cosy and we had a very relaxing break xx definetly recommend to family and friends. We wanted for nothing it was great being a short walk from pubs shops and there are lots of lovely places to eat. Anne even baked us a cake thank you so much it was a lovely touch. Highly recommend the cottage. Oh and a gorgeous spot out back to sit and enjoy not overlooked.

Belinda

Location of cottage was good and peaceful. Nice touches on arrival and Anne kept in touch to make sure everything was ok for us. Local facilities were on hand i.e buses and trains and good selection of walking books and guides. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Carolyn

A real gem in Windermere! A lovely quiet,sheltered position yet close enough to most bus routes,shops and restaurants. We walked or bused everywhere and gathered essentials on the way back from just round the corner. Our host left a splendid lemon cake which was most welcome! Anne met us as we were about to leave for home.Anne was lovely, very accommodating and friendly. She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Anne.

Had a fantastic week at wheatlands cottage everything was just as advertised ... Had a fantastic week at wheatlands cottage everything was just as advertised Cottage was spottlessly clean and so handy for everything we parked the car up on arrival and it never moved until we left Anne the owner was so thoughtful texting us to let us know the cottage was available for an early check in and ensuring we arrived ok Would definitely recommend this cottage for a stay in the lakes

Lovely property in quiet location close to town. Owners are friendly helpful people who were able to get problem with door not locking sorted out quickly. Such a property probably needs constant maintenance which is only reason for not giving highest mark. Lovely relaxing area to sit out when it's sunny. Would highly recommend this property to anyone

Graham

Wheatlands Cottage was excellent for our stay in Windermere. There is ample parking, but we did not have a car and the bus stop was literally one minute walk away. The text messages from Anne the owner were very helpful and gave the feeling that we would get any help required if any had been needed. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage

Jennifer

We had a lovely week at Wheatland Very convenient location, handy for everything in Windermere, 2 minutes walk to shops, bars and restaurants, very nice quiet area. Being able to park the car right outside the property was a real bonus. We made good use of the local buses to go to Keswick, Grasmere and Ambleside. Comfortable accommodation with everything you could need made it a real home from home.

This is an excellent property that is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The location is excellent with all that Windermere has to offer so close but your tucked away. An absolute gem.

Property was in a lovely quiet location only a minutes walk to Windermere village centre and a short stroll down to the Lake. We had all we needed in the property to make the stay comfortable and would definitely book again.

Pauline

We've been coming to The Lakes annually for almost 30 yrs, sometimes twice a year, and this cottage is the perfect location. We travelled by train and this is only a 510 min walk away. All amenities in Windermere are so very close with a lovely off road walk into Bowness. Orest Head is also worth the walk to the top with great views of the lake. The cottage self had everything we needed. The informationleaflets were useful and informative. We couldn't fault any of it. Thank you Anne for the yummy cake too. You could say it was 'the icing on the cake' of a great holiday.

The cottage was a fantastic place to stay for a relaxing week in the Lakes. It was extremely clean, comfortable and homely. The cottage is situated in a peaceful position but within easy reach of shops and restaurants. The delicious cake provided was a lovely touch. We will definitely be staying here again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Windermere.

This is a lovely cottage, set in a quiet private road only a few steps from the centre of town.

This is our second visit to Wheatlands Cottage. It is clean, smart and exceptionally well maintained. The bed is extremely comfortable and it has everything we need for an enjoyable holiday. It is well located. The buses stop at the end of the lane. Although it is in the heart of the town of Windermere it is quiet and secluded. There is car parking and a small patio area which is sheltered and has shade when required. The owners are lovely people. I unreservedly recommend it.

We had a lovely week at Wheatlands Cottage. It is a welcoming, homely cottage. Everything you need was there, a home from home. Good communication with the property owner. Very quiet location but within a short walking distance from the shops and restaurants. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely cottage . Regrettably had to leave early due to personal reasons. Did let Ann know.

Debbie

Fabulous stay. Lovely cottage with great facilities and necessary equipment. Great location to walk from the door or tour around by car. Quietly situated, but close to shops, eateries etc a walk away. Would definitely recommend to anyone and we would return any time. Anne was lovely and a welcoming host. All in all

A lovely comfortable and well equipped cottage. Pleasant raised bed gardens with a nice patio and furniture making it very relaxing. Situated down a quiet lane and yet only a short walk to the village and shops. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Stephen

Thank you Anne and David for the cake and chocolates. Wheatlands Cottage is great, I loved it. Good driveway parking and the little patio garden to sit in. Location of the cottage could not be better it is literally paces to the end of the lane and you are right in the centre of Windermere, no big steep hill climbs back to this property. The cottage itself is also very comfortable nothing has been forgotten by the owners. I will definitely be booking again.

Robert

Excellent cottage in a great location. All you need in the cottage for a comfortable stay. We have stayed in many properties over the years & this is up there with the best. The Lemon Drizzle cake which was left for us was delicious, thank you Anne. We look forward to a return visit.

Yvonne

Wheatlands cottage was superb. Lovely little bungalow 2 minutes from Windermere but I a quiet location with parking. The hosts were lovely and the bed so comfortable. We would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Philip

This would have been a straight 5 review. The location with private parking is excellent and the property is nicely laid out and equipped internally, with a log burner, ensuite to the bedroom and a separate bathroom with bathshower and wc. However, we were somewhat disappointed by the quality of the beddingpillows, the very soft mattress, the ensuite wc which had a flushing fault and the sticking wardrobe door. Overall cleanliness was to a good standard but the area around the log burner was quite dusty. These are all relatively minor and easily remedied issues but were enough to shave a star off the score.

The location and property were outstanding. Tucked quietly away from the main road we had a wonderful stay. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and cosy. We hope to come again soon. Thank you to Annie for all her help and the delicious cake.

Kenneth

We have stayed at Wheatlands Cottage before and it is of a high standard. The cottage is fully equipped and in an excellent location. We would stay again in the future.

Lovely place and location. Would suggest swapping the curtains as we found the bedroom very bright at 600am but sitting room much darker.

Once again, We had a lovely time at Wheatlands Cottage, We love it, That's why we keep on coming back for more! The homemade cake was lovely, a real treat after a long days walking. The cottage was lovely, clean ,tidy, lovely towels and it has everything you need and more The parking and patio are great assets to the cottage. Close to the shops, cafes etc Thankyou to Anne and David.

Patricia

We stayed at Wheatlands over Christmas. The cottage was tastefully decorated with some thoughtful touches a card, crackers, sweets and Annes delicious lemon cake. The weather was wet and windy, but we were warm and cosy by the log fire. We walked straight from the cottage, through woodland down to the lake, up to Biskey Howe viewpoint and on to sections of the scenic Dales Way. A short drive away, the arts and crafts house, Blackwell, is a real gem. We had cosy meals in, as the cottage is very well equipped and Booths supermarket is just up the road. Thank you, Anne and David. Wheatlands Cottage has been perfect for our Christmas break.

We had a lovely stay at Wheatlands cottage it offered everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is in a quiet location just off the centre of Windermere but not too far away from the centre where you can enjoy the shops and eateries of Windermere.

Once again we have had a lovely week at Wheatlands Cottage in Windermere. Anne and David take pride in keeping the cottage at its best all year round. The cottage was lovely and clean, Nice and warm, Lovely soft towels and the bath is a bonus. Oh yes...Don't forget the homemade cake, We'd book again just for the cake! It is in a perfect location, About a 2 minute walk away from cafes, shops, bus stops etc and has its own private parking which is a big plus. Thanks so much again Anne and David.

Christine

This is a lovely comfortable cottage to spend your weeks holiday in. It is a real home from home. It has everything you need to make your stay relaxing. You are close to Windermere and all its amenities, and its just a short walk down to Bowness. We will definitely be booking a further stay.

This is our first stay at Wheatlands although we have stayed a number of times at the owners other cottage. Both cottages are spotlessly clean and fully equipped for a self catering stay. The mattress is of high quality and very comfortable. Wheatlands is very conveniently located close to the centre of Windermere village. There is no need to use the car as the buses are frequent and stop nearby. The cottage is situated in a quiet lane and it is easy to walk to the lake if you are energetic. There is a sunny patio and last but by no means least the owner provides a delicious homemade cake to welcome you.

A lovely cottage and so peaceful yet only a short walk away from town. Everything was so clean and the lemon cake very welcome to have with a cuppa after a day out. The owners have put a lot of thought into what people might want need which was much appreciated. Coming out of the driveway is a bit of a challenge due to the narrow road gateposts certainly takes more than a three point turn. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage and hope to return in the future.

Kenneth

We have stayed at Wheatlands Cottage before and would stay again. The cottage is in an ideal location and all facilities are provided. We could not suggest any improvement as we think everything is ideal as far as we are concerned.

Such a lovely cottage in a great location. Been back many times and will continue to do so. The cottage was lovely and clean, plenty of towels, a super comfy bed and the homemade chocolate cake! Yum. The cottage has a private parking space which is a bonus. Its very near to the shops ,cafes, bus stops etc. This cottage feels like home really! Thanks to Anne and David for a lovely stay once again!

A comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped cottage in a quiet location but conveniently placed for shops and eating places. A cottage which we would happily return too. As an EV drivers we were pleased with the fast charging points at the local Booths supermarket.

This is our 7 th Stay at Wheatlands The cottage was excellent as normal
