Wysteria Cottage in Windermere receives high praise for its cleanliness, modern comforts, and prime location close to local amenities and attractions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and the property's peaceful setting. While some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests report the cottage as spotless and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. A few isolated comments suggest room for slight improvement, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of a clean property.
The cottage's location is consistently lauded for its convenience, being a short walk from shops, restaurants, and Lake Windermere. Its central yet quiet positioning makes it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with spacious rooms and modern amenities contributing to a relaxing stay. The presence of a cosy living space and comfortable bedrooms is frequently mentioned, although a suggestion for a rug in the lounge indicates a potential area for added cosiness.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and for having good Wi-Fi and entertainment options. However, comments about a cracked oven dish, the need for a broom, and a small freezer compartment suggest that some facilities could be improved or updated.
While guests are generally pleased with the amenities provided, there is insufficient information regarding thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts to accurately assess this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and guests should note that such extras, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

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 non-stick frying pan would have been very useful.

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.

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 dark/blackout curtain in the main bedroom but these are inconsequential when stacked against the positives. Would highly recommend a stay at this property.
