Underfell

We absolutely love Underfell Cottage, it's perfect for the size of our family and it's only a 5 minute walk to my Cousin's place at the Wainwright's.

All of us always have an amazing time, the views are breathtaking and look forward to booking again for next year once I know my working days. Thank you.

I adore staying here and will always try to book Underfell if I possibly can.

I love the home from home feel, its location, and neighbours (waking to sheep grazing outside!). Yet again I had the most wonderful time in the stunning lakes which no matter what the weather, always gives her best. Staying in Underfell feels like coming home and once tuck my car into the lifeless parking space I feel all the stress of life slipping away.

Couldn't have been better thank you.

Beautifully maintained cottage which is surprisingly spacious. Good quality towels and bedding. A well stocked kitchen.Plenty of crockery and cutlery for all. Good shower and bathroom and 4 toilets. Perfect.

Lovely house.

Kitchen well equipped. 4 toilets were a bonus. Shower very good although the drain was blocked when we arrived. Decent WiFi. Would be great if the access/directions were a bit more detailed, and mentioned the very steep width restriction. Note that the ensuite bedroom is effectively a basement (down some very steep, gated stairs), and therefore quite a bit cooler than the rest of the house. Would need to be accessed by the external door if you have mobility issues. Much of the 'garden' is overgrown and on a very steep bank. Location ideal, and Chapel Stile was really lovely.

Lovely wee house with fun quirks, comfortable homey feeling and great location

Lovely, quirky cottage.

Had everything needed for a lovely stay. Only improvements could be the heating being on for the arrival time. We arrived at 4pm and the house was cold and took a little while to heat up. Only minor critique is the boiler noise in the top floor double, when it came on early in the morning it woke us up so we made sure it was off overnight but, again it took a little while to heat back up. These are only minor observations as it is a lovely place to stay and I will not hesitate in coming back.

Very good cottage.

Better than the pictures. We had 4 adults staying. I think 6 would have been very crammed in. 4 was ok. The lounge area has some very large mismatched chairs and sofas and a large coffee table. It would have worked better to have ‘tidier ‘ furniture as it was hard to leave the room without falling over someone’s feet The furniture in here was quite worn and a little grubby too. Otherwise we found everything to be very good. Excellent white fluffy towels and a good bathroom. The cottage is situated well for walking and has a very good pub. If you have a large car , it is better to cross over in front of the church -rather than try to negate the 6 foot 6 inches steep stone edged squeeze lane just before you turn left to the cottage.

It was our 7th visit to Underfell.

We love the location. It is unspoilt and lots of walks straight from the doorstep. However the furniture in living room is past its best with stains and worn. But other than that look forward to our next visit there.

Underfell is a great property located in a perfect spot to explore the Lakes!

The kitchen is amazingly equipped and the house is comfortable with lots of games and books to make a great stay. We did find the bathroom description not as what we expecting i.e. we were expecting an ensuite with shower so perhaps this needs rewording. The layout of the bathrooms also can make it a little tricky. Some maintenance could done with being completed too, very tight hot tap on WC by kitchen for example. All in though would recommend!

We loved it!

Many thanks

Great location, comfortable house, good facilities.

Would definitely go back!

The cottage was lovely, clean, good value for money and set in a great area.

The only bad thing was that we didn't have more time there! I would highly recommend to anyone else who was looking to stay in the Lakes.

What a wonderful cottage

Awesome cottage in an awesome location.

Walking round the Langdale valley from the door. Short drive to the bottom of Stickle Ghyll. Cottage was very clean, quality fittings and furniture throughout, very comfortable. Wifi was great. If you want hot water in the shower and bath be sure to press the boost button in the cupboard. 10/10 would stay there again.

Lovely homely house in a beautiful place.

Re maintenance: There were two buckets in the top floor loo when we arrived. When it rained, water dripped from the beam into the buckets. Maybe the roof has a slate missing?? We've reported to lakelovers and I'm sure the owners will sort it out as it's obvious they love the house. It didn't spoil our stay - we loved it!

Having stayed in the lakes many a time I have now found my favourite home from home!

Cozy, comfortable and in the most beautiful location! I shouldn’t recommend too highly though or I won’t get a booking in again!!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Lovely comfortable property.

Our 4th stay at Underfell and our 3rd Christmas.

Once again a lovely stay. Warm, homely and cosy. Particularly good with the very wet festive holiday this year!

Underfell was a wonderful place for our new year stay.

It is the second time we have stayed there - location is superb and the property was warm, cosy and well equipped. We will be back .

A fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.

We have been to this area for many years now and this is the best cottage we’ve had. The extra space this cottage provides over the 3 floors is perfect for a family with grown up children and we especially liked the boot space and extra toilet! The views and local walks were beautiful. Thank you for loaning us your cottage.

Really enjoyed staying at underfell.

Great location and good parking. Nice facilities and really cosy - Some feed back for improvements. Freezer needs defrosting. Pillows were a little hard so some softer options would be good. Recycling facilities would be good as we had to travel to Ambleside to dispose of bottles/cans/cardboard.

The three of us thought Underfell was a fine location and the Loos, Shower, Bath rooms, Kitchen and Bedrooms were great quality.

Theres a good feel to the whole place too. We loved the tiered garden for sitting out and views. We really didnt want to leave, this was my 53rd visit to South Lakes area now and I think Underfell was possibly the best place Id stayed! Happy days Charlie Blake

A clean and comfortable cottage, lovely and warm with plenty of hot water.

The stairs to the lower bedroom were very steep and I had to crawl up and down them. Crockery although clean was chipped. Having read previous reviews we took everything we might need as there are no extras, salt, teabags, soap etc. An enjoyable stay.

Wonderful stay.

lovely home..just an suggestion is to keep one bath soap solution and few tea or coffee bags as no shops near by..except it's wonderful stay..thankyu

We had the most amazing holiday and Underfell was so lovely.

The perfect location for a walking holiday. Fantastic views, peaceful, well equipped, homely....everything we wanted for our holiday. Chapel Stile is a beautiful village. The garden view's are great...the perfect sun trap to relax in after a full day walking! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely cottage break in a fantastic location.

We had an absolute amazing week, the cottage was warm and comfortable, very well equipped and the perfect base for exploring the lakes.

We stayed in Underfell for a quick 3 night break ahead of Christmas.

The house was everything we’d hoped for. For Winter breaks where it’s cold and damp and dark at 1530, it’s even more important to be warm and comfortable - Underfell exceeded our expectations from arrival. We loved the quirky layout, and soon found our way around and the house was super clean with everything working as it should. It was a nice touch having the night lights dotted around and this aided navigation at night . There were 3 of us (mum and two adult children) so we used all 3 bedrooms and all were super comfortable. Having space for wet and muddy boots and coats very useful. And never have we stayed somewhere with 4 loos! It’s important to add that I think this house is very good value and the owners should be applauded for not hiking up the prices as others in the area have done. Thank you.

What a cosy cottage!

We had a fabulous stay at Underfell. We felt it was very practically laid out, making the most of the building. The upstairs bedrooms were so cosy and the beds were wonderfully comfortable, we all had a brilliant night's sleep. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and all the kids toys & books were an amazing added bonus and gave us parents at least half an hour's peace (thank you!). I was looking forward to my morning cuppa on the garden terrace but the bench was broken, this was the only downside from the stay. Thank you very much we loved Underfell and would absolutely recommend it. P.S We were a family of four with a 6 & 2 year old.

A quirky layout but we soon got used to it.

The coat drying cupboard in the boot room was useful, especially as we had to unload the car in a downpour! Comfortable, clean & tidy home from home that we all enjoyed staying in & all said we would like to return to again. Especially lovely was the double aspect view in the sitting room - the smaller side window, giving views of the backing hillside, was particularly pleasing. Thank you to the owner's for sharing this lovely cottage with us.

There were only three of us staying in the cottage and that was fine.

Six people would have been crowded. It was a great location for local walks. The cleaning and other basic supplies in the cottage was very poor. Even since covid I have not stayed anywhere lacking in such basics. The garden needs some attention. The parking space is only for one car and it is stretching things too far to say two smart cars.

Property is far smarter than photos on the website depict.

Stunning views from all aspects.Kitchen very well equipped and comfortable lounge suite and very comfortable beds. Information packs are out of date though and we only discovered the games box on the last day when we opened what we thought was a linen basket for our used bedding. Stairs quite steep. Ideal location for Lakeland walkers. The car had a holiday too! Thoroughly recommend.

The information booklets provided in the property are severely out of date providing incorrect contact details, WiFi information, and look to be from a previous owner/company.

Additionally the property is 100% electric meaning the heating, cooker and hob are all electrical so if a power cut occurs like it did for us you have no means of hot water, heating, or facilities to cook with. Whilst acts of nature cannot be predicted reasonable facilities could have been provided in the property such as backup method of cooking, initial supply of fuel for burner, candles, blankets, etc. We had power for the first night only and were forced to leave early due to no ability to cook anything in the property. Overall we still had an enjoyable stay it was just a shame we were forced to leave early due to a lack of provisions for potential power cuts.

Beautiful cottage in a great location for the Langdale area, Ambleside, Windermere, Grasmere etc.

The cottage has lovely bedrooms with plenty of space for clothes. There is also a drying cupboard and a great little boot room space for getting ready. Four toilets meant we never had to fight over the bathroom! A great place to stay.

House was plenty warm enough, comfortable and good for 3.

Bathrooms recently redone and are very nice, upstairs bedrooms nice. Location is absolutely superb with walks from the door up and down river, and up onto the hills behind the house. A very short drive also takes you to many other fab walks or to Ambleside for a bit of shopping. Decent pub a couple of mins walk. Lounge sofas are not very comfy and a few lightbulbs need replacing. It also looks like the soil pipe from the loo next to the kitchen has a wee leak outside. If I owned the place, I'd be tempted to get an architect in to look at remodelling the middle level, opening it up a bit to create more space and light - depending on planning restrictions it could be super fab! All in all, a well located, comfy place and good value too.

Property has had several updates since last year, none of which are reflected in the outdated website photos.

When staying in one property for a single week you get fresh towels and bedding, plus a clean property on arrival. Stay in that property for two weeks and you get ripped off as you pay the same rate but don't have replacement towels/bedding or the property cleaned - this is an overdue issue that needs to be addressed. You are not passing on the same costs to the property owner, therefore it's a simple action for you to provide a discount for the second week if you are not going to provide the full range of services...

Hi - Lovely property in a lovely location.

Note that the property wasn't 'four in a bed' clean. Crumbs on the sofa and under the pillows. Olive (!!!) on the window ledge. Also there is NOT room for two Ford Focus size cars in the parking space. It is 3.5m deep and the car is 4.5m long. To stick out 1m onto the narrow lane would be insulting to the locals and a disaster waiting to happen. We'd go again at the price we paid - not the Covid enhanced price.

Absolutely loved Underfell Cottage. Will definitely stay again!
