Had a great week property as described very good

We all adored this property, the area and everything, it was perfect for a last little something before we all go off to uni in a few weeks! Thank you so much for facilitating such a gorgeous place to stay! Also, we think we mightve not logged out of all our accounts on the tv, hope that can be sorted if possible! Again, thanks so much for the brilliant holiday!
A lovely cottage in the heart of the Lakes. Very comfortable and well equipped close to all the local amenities in Windermere.

The property is well located and comfortable Parking was adequate for our needs A bit pricey but okay for Windermere and good location The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were suitable for our group We would like to suggest having shower and hand gel available please. Also more toilet rolls, please. Recycling was not clear so we had to take it home to recycle. Providing two sets of keys would be good for a property such as this
Sandra
A beautiful light, airy spacious property. We were a party of 5 but ample room for 8 with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nb. few steps up to front door. Good parking. Good location only a few minutes walk from bus and rail stations, with Booths supermarket next door. Also few minutes walk to Windermere centre. 1.5 mile walk downhill to Bowness for lake cruises, with regular bus services back up for those who dont wish to walk. Small outside area with table and seating. We also made use of it as a boules pitch! Kitchen well equipped, including cleaning products. Just a few suggestions for owner dustpan please for cleaning cupboard, a larger chopping board or two and a better freezer. A comfortable stay.

A lovely property in an excellent location for shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Good size accommodation and great to have off street parking for our cars in such a busy town.
Property very dusty. Bathroom skirting board tops especially. Mould in shower tile grouting. Bath towel holed and thin. Stainedmarked pulldown blind and wall near bin. Kitchen unit doors markedstreaky not cleaned. Kitchen dustbin lid inside rusty and dirty. Dead flies in lampshade. All windows needed a clean. No terestial tv chanels on main tv. Cleaning lacked care? Having booked several cottages in the past this was dissapointing for price paid.

A lovely property in an excellent location for shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Good size accommodation and great to have off street parking for our cars in such a busy town.
Lovely accommodation. Easy access from road, and good parking for three. Nice and clean and thoughtfully filled with almost everything we might have needed. Great location for quick access to train and bus as well as pubs and restaurants. Only small complaint is that a nonstick frying pan would have been very useful.
Lovely property in a good location a short walk from Windermere and about a 25 minute walk to Bowness. Very quiet but in easy reach of buses and railway station. Lovely walk to Orress Head nearby too. Only criticisms was that there were 6 adults and 2 children plus a baby sharing. Neither of the double rooms with single beds had any hanging space for clothes. Also there was only a very small under the counter fridge in the kitchen and a very tiny freezer in the snug area. We have stayed at properties for 8 elsewhere and there has always been a large fridge freezer. We did as advised and ordered an online shop but really struggled to find space to store chilled and frozen food. That said we all enjoyed our stay and went on some beautiful walks, including Aria falls, Tarn How and Wray castle, plus Grasmere, Ambleside and taking the boat and steam train trips with the children.
It's a nice, recently modernised place in a good, quiet location close to Windermere's shops and restaurants, and only a shortish walk from Bowness and the lake. I don't know how it would feel for eight people but for a couple it was a lot of lovely space. A couple of quibbles most places at this price point have a welcome basket milk in the fridge, but all we got was a some washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, and a disposable dishcloth and scourer some nonstick pans would not go amiss in the kitchen But these are just quibbles. We had a good time here, and would book it again.
Perfectly situated for travel by car, walking or using public transport. The house was not our first choice but due to a cancellation on our original choice this seemed to fit our requirements. On arrival it became clear that it was better than we had expected, the property was very clean and one of the best equipped kitchens we've ever had. The space for 4 adults was generous but even at full occupancy I expect it would still feel like there was plenty space. The only slightly less satisfactory thing was the lack of a non slip mat on the bathroom but that's just probably my age and the lack of a darkblackout curtain in the main bedroom but these are inconsequential when stacked against the positives. Would highly recommend a stay at this property.
Steven
The cottage was modern, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect as quietly tucked away but still close to the town centre as well as easy access to the main road. If in need of a cottage when we next return to the Lakeswe would certainly stay here again and would recommend this property to friends and family.
Christine
Lovely spacious cottage for 8 adults. Really enjoyed our stay, very clean and everything in it you needed. Home from home feel, only a short walk into village up hill.
Frances
As 6 individual adults we were surprised at how roomy the cottage is we never felt on top of each other, lovely, clean and modern and very comfortable beds. We struck lucky choosing this property, it's literally around the corner from the town, very well situated and peaceful. We would definitely recommend this property for a group or family.
Michael
Had a really nice time in a fantastic cottage. Clean and well looked after. Very well positioned in Windermere.
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Lake District. Wysteria Cottage was an excellent place to stay. It looked inviting as we walked in and proved to be very comfortable, clean, well equipped and well situated to walk into Windermere and travel further afield in the area. The only thing we could have done with was a broom. One white oven dish developed deeper cracks as it was being used and now is not really safe to use.
Graham
Well equipped with all needed can't find any fault
Stella
It is lovely place to stay. We had a lovely Christmas and even managed to cook a 6.5kg turkey in the oven. The cottage is in a very convenient spot and the upstairs shower is awesome.
Very short notice but staff at Windermere were excellent in locating us The cottage was great and we enjoyed our stay
Sophie
We had a beautiful weekend stay at Wysteria cottage. It is the perfect location and has everything you need for the weekend. Comfortable bedrooms and living space with plenty of room. It was gorgeous. We will definitely be returning
Kathryn
I had to ring on the Friday night as we arrived we then had to Hoover down stairs as the floor was filthy there was a used plaster stuck to the bin, pubic hair on the Mattress protector very unimpressed as we had to check in an hour later than originally advertised due to extra covid cleaning, they sent me a link with a reference to this but heard nothing since please can you chase this up ? Thanks Kath
We love Wysteria Cottage, lovely location, very modern and comfortable. everything you need is provided for in the cottage, lots of pots, pans etc. It was also very clean on arrival.
Eveline
Excellent cottage within walking distance of Windermere.
Perfect location, a short walk to Lake Windermere. 5min walk to shops, 30 min walk to Bowness which is amazing. Property clean, kitchen fully equipped. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay again. Thank you
Melanie
Wysteria Cottage gave the whole family a fantastic base from which to discover the delights of Windermere. Amazing property, will be returning soon.
Fantastic Cottage. Clean, modern and well located. I would thoroughly recommend Wysteria for a family holiday.
Joanne
The house was beautiful It was so lovely to go back to after a long wet day walking! The house was well equipped & spotlessly clean I couldnt fault it at all I had a lovely stay.
This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful property. Its in a great location and very central for many activities. Definitely recommend booking for a short getaway or a long trip. We stayed for 5 nights and it was like a home away from home. We cant wait to book and stay again.
The holiday home was fabulous, would definitely recommend to others.
Once again, the cottage came up trumps and allowed us to enjoy a fabulous holiday.
Christopher
Fantastic week spent at the lakes. The cottage was immaculate with great location, couldnot fault in anway
Dennis
Great location for amenities and for further travel around the Lake District. Only downside was there was only a small freezer compartment within the fridge. Not really big enough for a family intent on self catering.
Gabriella
Beautiful place, very comfortable and ideal location to be close to shops and restaurants and definitely worth a walk up to Orrest view, only about 25min walk away, which was stunning. We would suggest as an improvement, a welcome pack of at least tea and coffee for on arrival. We also felt the cleanliness could be improved slightly, with better attention to detail. Overall very happy with the house and simplicity of the booking process.
A great place to stay!
Jasbinder
The cottage was immaculate throughout and good facilities. Great location for shops and restaurants and the lake. Rooms were comfortable and very spacious. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Rachel
Thank you for your efficient service, in booking out break. Wysteria Cottage is a wonderful property, which is laid out very well and has everything you could need or want in a home from home. As a group of 8 Adults we had enough space to relax and enjoy our time away. Location is very cetral, with just a short stroll in to Windermere approx 5 mins, and the bus and train station just around the corner. We would have booked straight away fir next if they allowed pets. Would strongly reccommend Wysteria Cottage to all.
Deborah
