Clive September 2024

“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.

- Clive, September 2024

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
Lisa September 2024

“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

- Lisa, September 2024

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
Tony September 2024

“Lovely cottage in prime location, catered for everything, was able to go places that didn’t take too long to get to.”

Linda July 2024

“Picturesque little cottage very close to Bowness-On-Windermere only a few minutes walk to shops, pubs, restaurants and the lake.”

Also has the advantage of an off road parking space which is a must for us. Extremely comfortable bed!!

- Linda, July 2024

Thank you for leaving this review. Glad you enjoyed your time at Fellside and hope to welcome you back soon again :) Property Owner
Tracey June 2024

“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.

- Tracey, June 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are so happy and pleased to receive such great feedback as we do put a lot of love and thought and time into trying to maintain a high standard at Fellside cottage. We hope to welcome you back soon again :) Property Owner
Pauline June 2024

“Lovely property, in a super position.”

However I do feel the back garden could do with spruce up.

- Pauline, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback and glad you have enjoyed your stay. This time the weather has caught us out with the garden and the maintenance team are scheduled in for a spruce up. Hope to welcome you back again soon to Fellside cottage :) Property Owner
Jim March 2024

Lynn March 2024

“Lovely cottage in an excellent location, private yet close to all ammenites.”

Nice welcome pack. No need for a car as public transport is excellent.

- Lynn, March 2024

Thank you Lynn for the review and so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fellside cottage. We look forward to welcome you back sometime again :) Property Owner
Jane March 2024

“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

- Jane, March 2024

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. Thank you once again and look forward to welcome you back once again Property Owner
Jayne September 2023

- Jayne, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback and pleased to hear you enjoyed your week in Bowness staying at Fellside Cottage. We hope to welcome you back soon again :) Property Owner
Gordon July 2023

“The cottage was absolutely first class and a credit to the owners.”

Full of character and we were extremely comfortable for the week that we spent there. Loads of home comforts are provided and the welcome pack is a nice touch too. The location couldn't really be any better either and we will definitely be looking to return in future.

- Gordon, July 2023

Fabulous review, thank you so much :) This is exactly what we have strived to achieve, comfort, character and first class quality. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcome you back again soon Property Owner
Amanda July 2023

“A fabulous cottage, perfect for a cosy week for 2.”

Quiet cottage but just a few minutes walk to central Bowness so perfectly located. Beautifully presented and everything you need provided in the cottage. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and would definitely return to this cottage!

- Amanda, July 2023

Pleased you enjoyed your stay at Fellside and thank you for your feedback. Look forward to welcome you back soon :) Property Owner
Janet June 2023

“It is a beautiful cottage in a prime location, we have stayed in the cottage next door and much prefer Fellside Cottage.”

Very well presented, the welcome pack was a lovely touch. We holiday in Bowness often and will definitely book Fellside Cottage again. Janet and Terry

- Janet, June 2023

Janet & Terry, so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Fellside cottage and thank you for great feedback. We look forward to welcome you back soon again :) Property Owner
Stephen June 2023

“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.

- Stephen, June 2023

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
Husnan June 2023

“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.

- Husnan, June 2023

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
Rebecca F May 2023

“So nice we are returning for the fourth year in a row”

“Absolutely brilliant.”

Perfect cottage in a perfect location. Very happy indeed!

- Martin, April 2023

Wonderful :) We think it’s perfect too :) Thank you and hope to welcome you back again soon. Happy Easter. Property Owner
Constanze March 2023

“It was lovely.”

The cottage was nice and the location was perfect, just a very short walk to the lake, with Restaurants and supermarket 2 minute walk away. However, we found it difficult to get downstairs living room warm. In the end, we used the fireplace and that was fine.

- Constanze, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback and pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fellside cottage. Glad you made use of the cosy log burner :) Hope to welcome you back soon again :) Property Owner

Superb cottage we loved our stay only problem was the bins were overflowing so we couldn't dispose of our bag other than that it was super

Thank you for your feedback. We have contacted Cumbria Waste last week as they seem to have missed the last collection, so apologies for this. This does not normally happen. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back once again Property Owner
June December 2022

“Just returned from our 2nd stay at Fellside Cottage and again it didn’t disappoint.”

The cottage is beautiful, in a fantastic location and the comfiest bed I’ve slept in (what is the mattress?!) The cleanliness is spot on, props to whoever does the cleaning, it’s immaculate! Lovely gesture of a Christmas card, wine and chocs was provided on arrival by Sylvia, much appreciated. Sylvia goes above and beyond supplying all cleaning products, kitchen roll, toilet roll etc which is a great touch and not always provided with other rental properties. We’ll definitely be back for a 3rd visit.

- June, December 2022

So pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fellside once again. We do put a lot of time and love into creating this magical little place in the Lakes and want to make it the best and most comfortable we possibly can for our guests . Hope to welcome you back soon x Property Owner
Michael September 2022

“A lovely cottage, in a great location, have stayed there many times in the past.”

Glad to see that the hot water problems have been sorted, however a bit chilly in the evenings.

- Michael, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have replaced the old storage heaters with Smart heaters to enable guests to choose their own level of warmth and comfort along with the wood provided for the log burner. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay once again :) Property Owner
Diane August 2022

Darren July 2022

“This was an absolute gem Just tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town, everything was really well thought of a credit to the owners.”

The only thing was the heating it kept turning itself down on the manual setting so was a-bit chilly for July. So I I wish now I’d have just lit the log burner but didn’t seem right in July, That’s the Only thing. The area itself is spot on for every thing lots of fine places to eat and drink The Albert for one and ample farm shops around to . We will deffo be back to fellside x

- Darren, July 2022

Thank you so much for this review. We have made many changes this past year to Fellside including the Smart heaters which can detect a door open or whether the room is occupied or not. Being energy aware we will monitor this. Thank you once again :) Property Owner
Andrea June 2022

“Fellside Cottage is an absolute gem.”

We have stayed here many times before, to have its own parking is great. Everything is on the doorstep , but you are still out of the way.The cottage itself is in true cottage style with quality fixtures and fittings, and the garden is another great bonus. Thanks for the welcoming extras , we hope to be back again soon.

- Andrea, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback as we do value our guests and want to make your stay here enjoyable, comfortable and memorable. We are pleased you enjoyed Fellside and hope to welcome you back again soon :) Property Owner

“The only downside to this property is accessing it on the drive which is extremely tight if you have a big car.”

Not that it would put me off coming again as I have already booked again for next year.

Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to welcome you back once again next year :) Property Owner
Sarah April 2022

“Fellside cottage was a wonderful cottage.”

The location was superb, walking distance to the lake and all amenities, yet tucked away. It was cosy and had everything you needed for a relaxing break. We even had warm weather and was able to sit out in the garden. We will definitely book Fellside again.

- Sarah, April 2022

Thank you for your wonderful review. We do take pride with all the upgrades and improvements at Fellside as we want our guests to have an enjoyable and relaxing time staying in this wonderful location. We hope to welcome you back soon once again :) Property Owner
Andrew January 2022

“Wow! A simply perfect romantic cottage!”

Beautifully presented, excellent features, amazingly comfy bed, new smart radiators everywhere, belting log burner, beautiful stone summerhouse, even a cupboard of books & games …with ample parking for my pick-up … & then only 100m from the centre of Bowness! & only 200m from Porto restaurant!!! Perfection in a quaint romantic cottage! It is a true credit to the owner! We loved our stay & will be booking Fellside cottage again, if it’s not already booked up!?!

“Lovely homely cottage excellent position for Bowness and surrounding areas (just warn any guests over 6’tall”

- Stephen, October 2021
Del October 2021

“I was extremely pleased on arrival to find the cottage so well stocked with kitchen equipment, plates, mugs, cutlery etc.”

It's a very homely cottage for 2 with lots of extras - books games cute ornaments - which we were not expecting from the description in the brochure but we were still happy to book. Don't under sell the amenities there nor the position so convenient to Bowness centre particularly useful when you have wet days!

- Del, October 2021
Ian August 2021

“Loved the cottage and the location although moving the car into the parkinbg spot could be a bit challenging.”

Only ral down side was the bed mattress was very uncomfortable - old fashioned pring mattress and you could feel every single spring! - think it needs replacing

- Ian, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback after your recent stay. I am glad to hear you had a great week at Fellside Cottage. The property has recently had a change of ownership and the new owners have purchased a new mattress which will be delivered next month. We apologise this was not hear in time for your stay but we hope you can return in the future to benefit from this. Kind Regards, Property Owner
Andrea June 2021

“We have stayed in this cottage before and enjoyed it just as much.”

Some updates and improvements have been made to a high standard and there is everything that you could need. I would just say that it was a little cold in the living room sometimes and you can’t alter the heating but I did find an electric heater in the cupboard, some people may not be aware of this and it might be a good to put a note somewhere about this.

- Andrea, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mrs Robinson. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner. The owner has recently installed a brand new heating system, information in the property with instructions of how to alter the temperatures manually. We will make sure they are displayed more clearly. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Lauren June 2021

“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.

- Lauren, June 2021

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
Rebecca F May 2021

“The cottage was absolutely lovely.”

It was full of character and had everything you could wish for in terms of plates and cuttelry etc. The location was perfect too just minutes to the Lakeside and Bowness village. We loved it so much we have booked it again for next year.

The property

We were overjoyed to find this truly romantic, traditional Lakeland cottage so close to the heart of Bowness village and retaining its charming original features despite a decadent 4 star refurbishment.

Fellside Cottage is a romantic Lake District retreat if ever there was one; full of 'olde worlde' charm with eclectic nooks and crannies, and cosy to the point that you might not want to leave. The living room is straight out of a fairytale with old oak beams and warming woodburner, and the dining area ideal for a special occasion or a lazy breakfast with the patio doors flung open.

Throughout bedroom and bathroom you'll find country cottage chic, stylish design and 21st century comfort where it matters most. == Accommodation in detail Just off the centre of Bowness village, a driveway leads to this select set of terraced cottages with parking right outside your door.

Enter to the lounge with sumptuous furnishings, adorning beams and woodburning stove.

The kitchen is set apart by a 'king post' beam and well-equipped with a breakfast bar.

A staircase branches off at half-landing to the romantic dining / garden room with table for two and doors to the patio garden and pretty stone-built summerhouse.

Upstairs to the chic King-sized bedroom and designer bathroom.

Unfortunately this property isn't equipped for infants/children.

Location A holiday cottage in Bowness places you right at the heart of the most popular Lake District holiday destination.

Situated on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere and easily accessible from the M6, Bowness village is a friendly community of quirky shops, lively nightlife and a range of excellent Lake District restaurants. There's lots do in the village during the day, with hire boats, Windermere Lake Cruises to Ambleside and Lakeside, and expert outdoor equipment shops which are handy for picking up advice on popular Lake District walks.

Windermere Golf Club is only a few minutes away.

By night, Bowness has entertainment for every taste.

There's the Royalty Cinema, the Old Laundry Theatre, and a host of pubs, restaurants and trendy bars - perfect for a romantic Lake District break. Located close to the famously scenic A591, Bowness is a great place to start if you're planning to explore throughout the Lake District.

Head north to Windermere village, Ambleside, Rydal Water and Grasmere, or head south to Lakeside and the peaceful southern tip of Lake Windermere.

Just outside Bowness and overlooking the lake, you'll find Blackwell Arts & Crafts House - an impressive building full of historic interest and commanding breathtaking lake views.

Drive east into the Lyth Valley, and you'll find a serene rural area famed for its excellent gastropubs.

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.
