“We had a generally good stay and enjoyed our time there.”

However, we think a cleaner is needed to do a through clean after each party has stayed. We came in to find dirty cutlery, lots of cobwebs, mouldy shower curtain etc., maybe not the best to have it in that condition with Covid-19 still very much present.

“We were shocked to find a neglected window full of OLD cobwebs across the frame and the toilet seat needs replacing.”

..it is peeling away and most unhygenic. the cleaning was very sub-standard in this area considering yje present time of covid and deep cleaning between clients that we expected would be done! The builders were on site in the property ajoining and above us, which we were not made aware of. Their work noise started above us at 8.15 am !! their three vans hemmed us in the allotted car parking. Parking was not great as it needs attention.The steep and sharp edging that we had to mount was damaging to the underneath of our car as we drove up onto it ! needs reviewing. otherwise, we really enjoyed the studio and found everything we needed and was of good quality.

Thank you for your feedback. I glad you had a good holiday at Wisteria Cottage Studio. Please accept our apologies for the poor cleaning, we have made the Housekeeping Manager aware of the issues you found. On behalf of the owner, please accept our apologies as they were under the impression the building work had finished but investigations have found that it is still going on. Property Owner

“We had a fantastic week away to Wisteria Cottage.”

The location is perfect and close by to so many places. The garden has spectacular views and we were lucky to have the weather to enjoy the outdoors. The cottage itself is lovely but could do with a bit of TLC if we’re being picky. It is chilly in the downstairs and has a funny smell so we didn’t spend too much time down there. My husband, who is 6 foot 3, could only just about stand up straight downstairs due to the low ceiling, which wasn’t a huge issue but we think could be communicated in the details as this wouldn’t be suitable for anyone taller. Some comfy chairs would be welcome upstairs and a firmer mattress on the bed, as it is very soft. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals. Overall a brilliant stay and we’d really recommend staying at Wisteria Cottage.

“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 '

“The access road is quite steep (when walking) Access to the property is down several flights of stairs and gravel path which might be difficult if your mobility is impaired.”

Also getting heavy cases up and down the path is a challenge. Kitchen was fairly well equipped but utensils were not the best (loose handles) Low ceiling in kitchen, I kept hitting my head off the hanging lamp in the dining area Bathroom needs an upgrade, elderly fittings, corner bath with shower over but no hand rails. Lack of free mains sockets in bedroom Lovely outside area with a paved patio with seats looking over to the surrounding hills, nice stream running down the hill. Sheep and cattle in the fields below (occasional sheep finds its way into the garden)

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

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

“Cottage was in an excellent situation being just out of Grasmere.”

Lots of walks and an easy walk into Grasmere with lovely cafes and restaurants. No need to move the car! Cottage was comfortable but kitchen/dining area was cold, ok when weather is hot but wouldn’t like to stay there during winter months.

The property

Resting in a secluded spot in Grasmere, Cumbria is this romantic retreat, Wisteria. With a boutique finish and character features, while being within easy reach of local amenities, including pubs and the Michelin starred The Forest Side Restaurant, this cottage is perfect for a couple looking to explore the delights of the Lake District National Park. On arrival, private driveway parking greets you, before making your way down through the garden and to the front door. Enter into the open-plan living space, where a bespoke kitchen fit with granite worktops and electric integrated appliances invite you to cook up a storm. Here, you can also sit down to dine with a good bottle of wine in the dining area while you plan your days out. Relax and unwind in the sitting area, home to a Smart TV, perfect for catching up on your favourite shows, as well as boasting exposed beams and character features throughout the space. Climb the stairs to the immaculately presented bedroom, home to a double bed and an extravagant colour scheme of deep blues and golds, finished off with a striking mural; cosy up with your loved one while the woodburning stove nearby crackles and fills the space with a warming ambience. From here, make your way to the sleek shower room; fitted with quality fixtures and another awe-inducing mural, you can freshen up in style before heading out for the day. Outside, mature gardens welcome you to enjoy dining alfresco or simply to enjoy your morning coffee in the garden; with a patio and picture-perfect views, the outdoor space is the cherry on top of this sumptuous offering. When you are ready to get out and explore, why not head into the town centre for a day of discovering the local eateries and pubs; the aforementioned The Forest Side Restaurant is just a short walk away, but if you prefer somethig more casual then there are two local pubs just a short walk away. Or why not have a night in and stock up at the nearby shop in the town centre. Being located in the Lake District National Park means there is an abundance for outdoor activity to try your hand at, such as cycling, hiking and kayaking, while history buffs will not be left short either, with Rydal Mount & Gardens within reach, and the National Trust's Wray Castle to explore. Challenge yourself to a long day of climbing Scafell Pike, among plenty of other beautiful mountains, or take yourself back to childhood with a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter, which is slightly further afield, accessed via a peaceful drive through pretty scenery. Choose Wisteria for a fantastic holiday in this alluring area.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
