  • "The property was absolutely lovely, clean, private and very well maintained."

    It was in precisely the right location and the lively local pubs etc did not bother us at all. I have always been impressed with the Sykes standard of properties but this one was exceptional for sure.

    Wow, what a fantastic review, thank you so much, as this is exactly what we always aim for, to wow our guests. So pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again to Fellside cottage again in the future. Happy holidays :) Property Owner

  • "Beautiful, quirky cottage in a fantastic location, minutes from Bowness centre."

    We liked the parking facility, our car never moved for a week! Lots of local buses very close by to access lots of places .The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with utensils etc. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Good WiFi access. One suggestion would be to change the wardrobe and drawers in the bedroom as some drawers were very stiff to open so we couldn't really use and the wardrobe very small, especially with a weeks' worth of clothing to store. All in all we had a lovely week and will be back again! Thank you

    Thank you for such a wonderful review. So pleased to hear you enjoyed your week at Fellside cottage. We have been debating whether to change the wardrobe for the reasons you mentioned, but as some guests like the quirkiness of the “dolls house furniture”, we decided to keep it. This will probably be something that will be replaced going forward and hopefully if you return, we will have found something just as quirky but with more space for clothing. Thank you once again :) Property Owner

  • "When we chose Fellside cottage for our holiday this year we were looking for somewhere within walking distance of Bowness and the lake."

    This lovely little cottage ticked those boxes and so much more! On arrival we we found this hidden gem up a partially obscured driveway, you would never know it was less than five minutes walk from town when sitting in the small but perfectly maintained garden. The cottage itself has been beautifully decorated and equipped with every need. We loved staying there and hope to return, we would definitely recommend Fellside to anyone visiting the Lakes.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.

  • "I loved Fellside Cottage."

    I hadn’t appreciated when I booked just how close it was to the lovely town of Bowness. It is the perfect location. The cottage is finished to a high standard and spotlessly clean. We made full use of the wood burning stove as it was a chilly week so we were lovely and warm. The one thing I would say, although it didn’t bother us at all, is perhaps the cottage description should mention that the driveway up to the cottage is very narrow and steep. Some larger cars may struggle to enter and also people with mobility issues might find the driveway challenging. We had a fabulous week in the Lakes and would definitely book Fellside Cottage again

    Thank you Jane for the review and so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fellside cottage :) Good to hear the drive didn’t bother you as it doesn’t appear to bother other guests too, but I will forward your comment to Lakelovers.

  • "Fellside Cottage is in the perfect location for Bowness."

    Quiet but very near all amenities. The Cottage is a perfect size for a couple to use. The kitchen is compact but big enough for meal prep. The bedroom is a nice size but the storage space was limited with the wardrobe being hard to use. Probably would benefit from less ornaments, though they do add charm. The bathroom is great, roomy and light, though the shower is not as powerful as it would ideally be.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Fellside Cottage. The owner will see your suggestions and can take action where necessary. Lakelovers Owner Relations Property Owner

  • "The property, location and cleanliness were all amazing."

    The slight gripe was the water pressure to the shower I was smushed into the corner to try and get under the shower as the water pressure didn’t allow it to shoot further. Other than that the amenities and everything about the cottage was great. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

    We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback. We will certainly investigate your comment about the water pressure with the shower, but must mention in hot weather and extreme heat like we are experiencing at present, the heat can have an impact on the water pressure which may cause it it to dip or reduce. This is beyond our control but we will certainly take a look and investigate. Thank you :) Property Owner

Lovely gesture of a Christmas card, wine and chocs was provided on arrival by Sylvia, much appreciated.

  • "The description of the cottage was not entirely accurate, as it did not state that the cottage was part of 3 cottages."

    If this was made clear I probably would not have booked. However the cottage itself was lovely, but the chimney needs to be swept we could not manage the fire properly. Also the rug in the lounge needs to be cleaned.

    Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your recent stay at Fellside Cottage. We do not in anyway hide the cottage description, as you can see in the first picture it is an end terraced cottage. Also in the description we do stipulate 'a driveway leads to this select set of terraced cottages with parking right outside your door'. Sorry if this was not clear enough though. Although it is an end terraced cottage we feel it is quite secluded and private anyways, we hope you found this too. The owner has been made aware about the chimney and the chimney is cleaned annually. Regarding the rug this was clean but had to be removed by the cleaning team when the cottage was serviced on her departure. We are otherwise glad to hear you had a lovely week. Property Owner

The property

A gloriously romantic, traditional Lakeland cottage only a stone’s throw from the heart of bustling Bowness.

The owners of this property have undertaken a superb renovation, retaining the cottage’s original features and complimenting them with fine furnishings and appliances.

The sitting room at Fellside Cottage is a haven of comfort and charm.

Old oak beams and lintels, feature fireplace with woodburning stove, welcoming leather sofa and generous armchair make this a room guests won’t want to leave.

A pretty picture window with window seat is a place to sit and daydream.

The kitchen with breakfast bar is planned to perfection, while for more leisurely dining a table and chairs occupy a half landing and garden room with doors to the patio garden and outside area with stone-built summerhouse.

Upstairs the beautiful bedroom with hand-painted furniture and gloriously comfortable King-sized bed is set off by a pretty picture window which floods the room with light.

The separate bathroom is stylish and modern, with shower over the bath, basin and wc.

While the cottage brings a sense of peace and solitude, Bowness itself offers a wide choice of independent shops, restaurants and coffee bars.

The Royalty Cinema and Old Laundry Theatre showcase a cultural side to the village, while sport fanatics will find plenty of opportunities to make the most of the lakeside location.

Windermere Golf Club is only a few minutes away, and a car ferry regularly transports visitors across the lake to Grizedale Forest.

Please note: Strictly no car charging at the property, there are rapid electric car charging points located at Booths In Windermere approx 1 mile away from the property. Alternatively there are others located around the area.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
