Wishing Well Cottage is a house owned by The Dingle family, next door to Holdgate Farm. Many family members over the years have lived at the Cottage either temporally or over an extended period of time.
Wishing Well Cottage was originally a barn, a part of Holdgate Farm, and was rented out to the Dingles by Mr Holdgate. According to Lisa Dingle in 2017, the house held fifty years' worth of Dingle history, meaning that the family had lived there since at least 1967.
When Mr. Holdgate died in September 1995, Frank Tate, who had bought Holdgate Farm, tried to evict the Dingles, as he technically owned the house. In December 1995, the house became unattached to Holdgate Farm.
After Debbie Dingle moved out in early 2006, the Dingles transformed her old bedroom into a self contained flat to give Sam and Alice their own space with and their newborn son Samson. Currently, Cain Dingle and Kyle Winchester live in the flat.
