"Cosy cottage in lovely location but a few improvements need to be made."
No dryer as suggested in other reviews - may not be an issue for some but when walking and especially with a child it would make a big difference. Some other basic things not available including oven gloves (requests guests to bring own - never come across this before), and no high chair. The main thing that we felt let down by was the cleanliness - dog hair everywhere on sofas and carpet when we arrived which makes it hard to see the need for an early 9am check out time for cleaning.
I’m sorry that you had some issues. We clean each time to a high standard and take this very seriously. I didn’t get any request for a high chair but I could have sorted this out for you if you had contacted me. I hope this didn’t spoil your holiday. Property Owner

"The cottage was excellent - in a really good location for walks from the front door."
Plenty of space over 3 floors and well equipped. Central heating and a wood burner which kept it nice and warm. It was really good value for money and had all that we needed for a good holiday - we were sad to come home. Both local village shops sold decent supplies such as wood for the fire, baked goods etc at a reasonable price. We had a power cut during our stay, good communications from owner, it was due to large storms which hit area during the week.
A few things to consider:
- There was a lot of dog hair on the carpets despite it being hoovered. We don't own a dog, but if one of the party had an allergy it would be problematic. A new hoover could improve this. Our clothes picked up the dog hair.
- 1 extra big pan for the kitchen would be handy - we cooked all our meals and found there wasn't a pan big enough for larger meals.
- A note about the stream culvert outside should be left for guests - it was overflowing due to heavy rain and we unblocked the drain of debris which was covering it and stopping it draining, worth guests knowing to do this in bad weather.
- As others have mentioned shifting things around in the cupboards to make room for storage of food items. A deep clean of drawers as crumbs etc in them.

"Super warm cottage in a wonderful position."
..ideal winter base for walking and jogging with the family and the dog. That was our third visit and we hope to return. Minor gripes: lock mechanism on the door of the upstairs toilet is loose and falls off if not used with care; the dustbin was full and not emptied on the Monday or during our stay so we left our bag in the porch; also hard to avoid the pothole in the concrete when you turned steeply into the terrace...could be easily filled in!

"Thank you for a relaxing holiday in a cottage that blended modern comfort within a traditional setting."
The warmth of the log burner after hiking the nearby summit of Helvellyn is possibly the most relaxing and gratifying experience of the holiday.

"Very well maintained and comfortable home."
A review mentioned poor quality linen however none of us had a complaint, our stay was very cosy. The furnishings were very nice, the oven in particular was very posh and a novelty to use, though it would have been good to have some cupboard space for food storage as we had to just leave food on the counter. The few issues were very minor, the rotary light switch in the kitchen buzzes when switched on (perhaps faulty wiring?) and many of the lightbulbs around the house are bright white LEDs. I like to see energy efficiency being considered, and I believe replacing side lamps in the lounge/bedrooms with warmer/orange LEDs bulbs would make the rooms look warmer in the evenings. In cottages similar to this I often find dvds/books/maps left for visitors which is a nice token but not something I walk in expecting. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.
Thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Please be assured that the electrics have been fully assured by the electrician. We removed the books, games due to COVID as directed by Sykes but have made Sky channels available. Property Owner

"Fellview is a lovely cottage, clean, comfortable and with everything necessary for a lovely holiday."
The history of the mine and area included in the info pack was interesting and we really appreciated the email to say the cottage would be ready earlier in the day on the day we checked in. The location and views are fabulous and we are definitely hoping to return for a longer stay next year. Despite the weather being somewhat wild, wet and windy we enjoyed a good walk to Aria Force which was well worth it as the waterfalls were in magnificent full flow.

"Lovely cottage in a fabulous location with wonderful views."
The property, however, would have benefited from a few additions. An outside light to the rear, instructions on how to open the keypad, more equipment in kitchen such as serving spoon, trays, kitchen towel, surface cleaners etc. The pillows were far too flat for my liking and the bedding, sheets etc were basic. A visitor book would have enabled me to leave this feedback, we could not find one. All the above are easy fixes and we would be happy to stay again if these things are corrected.

!! It was better than we had expected, the views were amazing, especially from the 1st floor bedroom, the window gave fab views in a morning. The kitchen was very well equipped (except they had run out of salt...). The location was perfect for us and the local pubs were great.

Would defiantly return to the cottage. Well based if you want to do some serious walking but still within reach of Keswick, Windermere and other villages which are a must to visit.
Only negative feedback not enough cleaning products in the cottage, hoover broken upstairs, other downstairs not good enough. I would of been more than happy to have hoovered and washed the floors prior to leaving especially as we had dogs with us.
Thanks

It is perfectly situated for walking Helvellyn , around Ullswater and taking the bus or the boat, we hardly used the car at all once we got there. It was clean, warm and comfortable. We easily got on the wifi and had sky and Now TV. it had good facilities and was lovely and clean. Be aware though that it is almost impossible to get a mobile phone signal around the area. Small local shops supply necessities and Fellbites proved a lovely place to eat amongst other choices.

Even though the weather was snowy and cold we were never cold in the cottage. There was a wood burner in the lounge but didn't feel the need to use it. The cottage was warm and homely.
There were plenty of walks from the door and local facilities in Glenridding. Our dog Molly loved it too.

I’m nit picking here, but a welcome pack containing milk, tea, coffee and sugar would have been greatly appreciated but was not provided. It’s the little touches that make all the difference to ensure a valued and happy customer experience.
Also, the shower drain was blocked and I had to make a special journey to a hardware store to purchase solution unblock the drain. This would have been very evident during the preparation and cleaning process prior to our stay.
All this being said, we would happily return to this lovely cottage.
