“We had a fantastic week with four adults and four dogs!”

The house was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need for your stay there! We all absolutely loved the house and the hot tub was amazing. Bowness town centre was just a short walk down the hill and we had a couple of great nights in the Arts Bar. We had such a great time and the house was a home from home it was brilliant so much so we have booked to go there again in May 2025

Adam September 2024

“Fantastic place.”

6 adults, 2 infants & 2 small dogs, ample space and comfort. Amenities are endless. Having access to the garage to store our roof box and bars in for the week was brilliant. Literally a home from home, none of the family wanted to leave and we are already looking at returning next year hopefully!

We are very happy you enjoyed your stay at Fellside Lodge. We do hope we can welcome you again in 2025! Property Owner
Amanda August 2024

“The most beautiful lodge, plenty of space and perfectly situated to enable you to walk into town.”

Everything provided and lots of it - kitchen well stocked with utensils/ plates/ glasses etc which was refreshing. BBQ wasn't cleaned out from previous renters though so had to scrub to be able to use it but that was only a small negative. Totally catered for dogs! Which we loved.Dog walking book in the lodge was a godsend thank you. Didn’t use dog facilities in the cellar as our dog has bad hips so was too steep for him but washed him outside with hose/ tap supplied. Definitely recommend this beautiful place - felt very much like home from home so settled immediately.

- Amanda, August 2024

We are very happy that you had such a great time at Fellside Lodge. Apologies on the BBQ but yes, we do rely on guests cleaning it before they leave. Thank you for recommending our place further and we hope we will welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

John June 2024

“Comfortable and spacious property, well equipped.”

Hot tub nice to go in at end of day . Only downside our dog got through railings around hot tub ended up on garage roof, think that needs looked at

- John, June 2024

Thank you for your great feedback and we are really happy you enjoyed your stay! We take feedback seriously and have booked for some additional trellis to be added to close the railing gaps, thank you for notifying us of this problem, we appreciate it! Property Owner
Joanne May 2024

“I stayed at Fellside Lodge with my family and their dog.”

It was perfect for all of us. We all enjoyed the hot tub. It was clean and tidy with lots of space for us all. The kitchen cupboards had ample appliances, mugs and glasses etc and all was of an excellent quality. It’s a beautiful house and right near the pubs shops and lake. We had lovely walks near by. I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.

Neil April 2024

“We had a bad time as our dog had a leg injury, we tried to change date but you would not allow us too.”

We could not find the walk that was in the notes. As the dog could not walk, we had to drive down to the lake every morning, very early for the dog to do his business. He would not go into the patio area. I also thought it smelled of dog urine.The cottage was lovely and would recommend, I don't think its suitable for dogs re garden area. We only stayed for 4 nights as worried about our dog.

- Neil, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to see that you found the property to be lovely. We will check the information in the property to ensure that it is up to date and accurate. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Helen April 2024

“Perfectly located cottage with everything we needed for a great stay.”

Never been in a self catering with so many mugs and glasses. Super dog friendly with a great layout. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house. Lots of good walks, good food and hot tub time for the teenagers. Only minor thoughts would be - a pizza cutter would be useful and the steps to the hot tub are very wobbly.

- Helen, April 2024

Thank you for your great feedback! We are very happy you enjoyed the house and your stay! A pizza cutter will be added and the hot tub steps have been looked at. We appreciate you pointing these things out to us. Property Owner
Amy March 2024

“We had a fab stay!”

The cottage was beautiful, clean and a short walk into town! Would 100% come back again.

Thank you for your positive feedback. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and do hope we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Sue March 2024

“This cottage was perfect for our stay on our family break with our dog.”

The description was accurate and the location was superb for walking into Bowness. The Hot tub was great for some family time without phones and the dog wash was a huge bonus. There are a lot of steps, in this property and different levels, but we loved it. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to the lakes. Thank you for letting out this beautiful property.

- Sue, March 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback, we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and were able to get some family time. I do hope we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Tracy March 2024

“Great house very cosy and a nice size for 6 adults.”

Loved how you could walk into the village. Hot tub was nice after a long day.

- Tracy, March 2024
Paul February 2024

“Excellent accommodation for a family of 6.”

Facilities were very good. Location ideal for both Windermere and Lake District generally. Would definitely recommend and will probably return ourselves in near future. Couple of maintenance issues (note left in property), and property in need of redecoration now, but did not detract from our enjoyment and ambience. Hot tub big hit. Property description possibly needs to make clear that there are a lot of steps inside and outside.

- Paul, February 2024
Philip December 2023

“Lovingly restored cottage in an excellent location.”

Everything we needed for a Christmas break with family. Bowness a very manageable walk away. We like to find new places to visit and rarely stay in a cottage twice. I might make an exception with Fellside Lodge. Already found myself browsing next years availability! Thanks

- Philip, December 2023

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and yes, please do make an exception we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner
Alex November 2023

“Absolutely stunning property and was fitted out with everything we could imagine.”

Loved the dog-benefitting-friendly rules and would certainly return. Even closer to the centre than we imagined making our stay even better. Can’t fault it one bit & have recommended to all friends and family. Thank you!

- Alex, November 2023
Valerie November 2023

“Brilliant property, thoroughly enjoyed it, and so did the dogs.”

- Valerie, November 2023
Tracey November 2023

“This was an amazing cottage, we all loved how homely and quirky it was.”

We could not have asked for a more cosy place to stay for a weekend with friends. A short walk to local bars and shops, the hot tub was amazing and I love how much the owner loves animals. We loved it so much we have booked for next year. A 12 pm check out would be better :)

- Tracey, November 2023
Ellie November 2023

“Fellside Lodge was like a home from home for us during our stay in Bowness on Windermere.”

The location was brilliant as the cottage is a stones throw from the centre of town but also tucked away up a little street so not noisy at night etc. The property itself was lovely, very cosy and well well equipped. It is a really beautiful cottage and I would definitely stay there again. Clare, the owner, clearly loves dogs as there is everything you need and more at the property, for example dog bowls, dog shampoo etc etc. Sykes Cottages were also very good in terms of communication and instructions for keys etc. I would rent a holiday cottage from Sykes again.

- Ellie, November 2023
Stephen October 2023

“Much better in real life.”

Very dog friendly the dog wash was amazing. Well equipped kitchen, hot tub great. Very pleased and would certainly stay here again.

- Stephen, October 2023
Chris September 2023

“Fantastic house, perfect location.”

The facilities for the dogs were great, blankets etc and the washing area made life easy.

- Chris, September 2023
Stephen July 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at Fellside Lodge it is such a beautiful property with everything we could have wanted.”

The location is fantastic just a 5/10 minute walk into central bowness. We would highly recommend Fellside Lodge. Our only disappointment now on returning home is that we simply cannot afford to go again next year, we immediately went online to book again but the price rise for the same time next year is just too much.

- Stephen, July 2023
Neil June 2023

“Just returned from a weeks stay and it is definitely a place to book.”

Loved every minute, not a bad word to say! Large spacious cottage! Dogs well equipped for and even it being a doggy friendly cottage would would never know it’s spotless. Had a super sunny week and still used the hottub. Will definitely be booking again.

- Neil, June 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, we are extremely pleased that you found all to be in order and thoroughly enjoyed your stay. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
Gemma June 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Fellside Lodge, we loved the supply of maps and books which ment we didn't have to buy any to find walks we wanted to do, kitchen was well equipped with a big fridge freezer this helped as we feed our dogs a raw based diet so we where able to keep it all fresh/frozen, the BBQ, hot tube and dog bath was an added nice touch, lots of towls blankets and dog bowls which was also nice the owners have said they have been renevating it so a couple of wear and tear bits like kitchen cubored ect but you expect that in a rented hoilday home, loved all the mugs as we love drinking tea, and the attention to detail on what the owners have already done to the cottage, We loved the lay out of this cottage, being a family of 4 and a couple without children we where able to seperate the family upstairs in the two bedrooms and couple downstairs which worked really well, very dog friendly cottage with dogs being able to stay in the rooms, a pet hate of mine is dogs only alowed in kitchen/living area, as i feel this can make it worse when their in a new enviroment even though mine are normally in the kitchen at home, so to be able to have them sleep in the room at least for the first night so they know they are safe was an added bonus, only thing i always say is we took our dogs with us everywhere but we did some extreame climbs and the dogs where exhusted, so would have been nice towards the end of our stay if we could left them for an hour of two if we new they where settled and ok, why we went for dinner, but we took them instead as it states not to leave them in the cottage unattended, ours are pretty good once they get settled after day 3 as we stay in many cottages and most have this rule but sometimes we like dinner without them, so that may have been better for them to catch up on sleep but we equally understand the rule and why its in place.”

So really only downside was that skyes contated us mid week of our stay to say we are being charged for dog mess in the garden, however we didnt pick up the message until 6pm once we came down from the mountines, and I was incredible diaspointed that evening after having a nice day, we sat down for dinner to then read and recive an email and a voice message to state this, and I was equally upset as we are always quite respectful where we stay and always clean up after our stays and equally our dogs wouldn't go to the toilet at the cottage at all and we found we had to walk them down the road to get them to do a wee, so this suprised us, but I couldn't call to find out what acturlly has happened or what we had done until the morning as they where then closed, then in the morning I contacted skyes and it was an error from head office, and we where contacted instead of someone else by accident, however I was worrying all night that we had upset the owners in someway as I'm a worrier. Accidents happen, just put a bit of a downer on our lovely day that's all. we loved that the owners had irish setters and possibly show at crufts, as I've started to show my golden retriver, so its lovely to see the breed around the house but also we love the setters. Overall thank you for a lovely stay we had gorgeous weather and our first time in the lakes celebrating a wedding anniversary and my Birthday!, its absolutely beautiful, with a lovely cottage to come back to, so thank you.

“We had a wonderful family holiday at this pet friendly holiday cottage.”

Everything that you could think of was thought of. The decoration of the property was beautiful. We particularly loved the book selection on the bookshelf. The bedrooms were very comfortable (beds were outstanding) clean and airy. The bathrooms were very clean. The only thing that was a little bit of a problem was that only half of the very large oven was working, however, managed to get round this. It was so wonderful to stay at a holiday property and feel completely relaxed with our pets. When we return to the lakes, we will be coming back and recommending this lovely home to friends and family.

- Susan, May 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback and we look forward to welcoming you, as well as your friends and family, in the future. We will also have the Lakelovers maintenance team take a look at the oven and why it might not be working. Property Owner
Jack May 2023

“Had a brilliant stay at Fellside Lodge.”

Beautiful home, mostly everything you need provided. Very dog friendly- water bowls, dog towels, dog blankets provided. Dog shower down in cellar was also super helpful. A was the washer and drier. Beds lovely- little soft for us but still very comfortable. The tub in the bedroom was amazing and hottub very nice. Nice secure garden for the dogs too. Lots of lovely local walks and amazing walks a little further - highly recommend cat bells and Rydal/Grasmere water walks. Few bits missing that would be nice- coffee pods for machine provided, maybe a couple of laundry detergent tabs to be used also, we were a little confused by recycling at the property (didn't seem to have a separate bin?). Window in upstairs bathroom wouldn't open and the towel rail downstairs in the bedroom with bath tub was loose. But nothing that took away from the brilliant stay. Would happily come back, so hard to find somewhere willing to take 4 dogs that is super lovely.

- Jack, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to see that you had an enjoyable stay. We do find that beds are down to personal preference. We take all comments on board. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Fiona March 2023

“This is a lovely property in a great position.”

It was a little disappointing not being able to use the hot tub when we arrived at 5 o’clock on the Friday. This was due to the water in the hot tub being changed that day, which we understood was the norm after every previous departure. But it was fab the rest of our visit. We had a couple of niggles at the start but these were quickly resolved. Which was great. The only other thing I would suggest is there wasn’t enough cupboard space for our food stuff and a bread bun would have been useful but it didn’t spoil our enjoyment of the cottage. It had everything else you could need. I would love to have booked it again next year. But the price has gone up by 50% to over £3000. And unfortunately that is just too much for our budget.

- Fiona, March 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We take all comments on board. In order that we stay within the law and health guidelines the water in the hot tub must be changed, there is nothing we can do about this and the health and safety of our guests is of the highest importance to us. We hope we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Jason February 2023

“Having stayed at Fellside for the week with my wife and pet dog Basil we felt relaxed and the homely feel of the property, the hot tub was a great feature to enjoy a glass or two the evening.”

The only small downside was the property has Sky but for some reason none of channels were available even the standard channels, thankfully watching TV wasn’t essential as the views and walks are our thing.

- Jason, February 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you and Basil enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back. We believe the sky dish had moved in the recent high wind and storms but was rectified. Property Owner
Claire February 2023

“Really lovely property, comfortable and well equipped.”

The hot tub was amazing after a day walking. Our little dog loved the dog bath and was perfect for keeping him clean after a long walk. Great location and only 5 mins walk into Bowness. My only suggestion would be more comfortable dining chairs and some oven gloves.

Laura February 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Fellside lodge.”

There was 6 of us (3 couples) and 4 dogs and our 1 year old. The property is excellently situated and everything is so accessible. The house is lovely & cosy, and the hot tub is fabulous! The cellar in particular is a godsend with 4 dogs and how well they are included is amazing. The fact there’s a main bathroom, downstairs toilet and 2 en suites too is brilliant. There could be a few maintenance improvements to the property. For example, the tumble dryer took us ages to work out as it kept turning off. The Roman blinds in the bedrooms were a little tempremental, and the kitchen handle under the sink was loose so we kept having to screw it back on. The pin for the skybox would have been useful too as there was a couple of drama series we wanted to watch and couldn’t. A little cheap foldaway high chair would have been really useful too (we took our own but this would have saved us some space in the car). The third bedroom was also made up as a twin and all of us were couples, so that was a shame and it would have been good to have been asked how the beds should be made up prior to arrival (apologies if we missed that request however). We were disappointed on our last day as the cleaners turned up at 9am and sat in their car with the engine running which made us all feel on edge and a nuisance even though we were packing up and the check out was 10am. However, upon contacting the owner Claire, she was lovely and responded immediately. It was our first time in the Lakes and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It is a beautiful property and we could have easily stayed another week.

- Laura, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Fellside Lodge. We will ask our Maintenance team to look into the issues that you have mentioned. We look forward to welcoming you back again We are happy to report that a brand new high chair and travel cot have been added to the property.. Property Owner
John January 2023

“This is my second visit to Fellside Lodge, and even better than the last one.”

The owners clearly love providing an amazing experience, and with the addition of the hot tub this year, I could not fault it in any way. I will return soon.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“Lovely property with good sized bedrooms and sitting rooms.”

Very dog friendly and the hot tub was a great added extra.

Elizabeth November 2022

“Thank you for a lovely week, house was very nice.”

The only thing I would say is the details of the house should state there are a lot of steps to access the property and also inside to access the lower bedroom and also the kitchen. My mother who has mobility problems (not wheelchair ) found it difficult at times. That said, lovely house Thanks again Liz Mead

- Elizabeth, November 2022

Thank you for your constructive feedback and yes we totally agree and will have this updated so it is clear regarding the interior levels and steps within the property. We are very happy you had a lovely week and enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
K October 2022

“Absolutely loved this cottage….”

Well equipped and everything to a very high standard. Hot tub is fantastic and well maintained. Location was perfect and we especially loved how the dogs were so welcomed and well catered for. We enjoyed our stay so much and have already booked for next year !

Wayne September 2022

“Everything was great apart from the neighbours who were a bit much.”

Coming out with disinfectant spraying it everywhere because one of our dogs couldn't wait till she got to the road. It was only a little wee. But all in all it is a great place to stay and near town and the lake.

- Wayne, September 2022
Andrew September 2022

“Absolutely loved this cottage.”

It was among the best equipped and presented we have stayed in during approximately 20 years of visiting the Lakes. We were particularly impressed with the dog friendly aspect, as all too often dogs are not made as welcome as they should be. Our only issue was the walking distance from the town, but this was a small price to pay.

- Andrew, September 2022

We are so happy that you loved our place! What a wonderful review thank you! As owners of multiple dogs ourselves we truly want it to be equally human and dog friendly. Sorry you found it too far from the town but we always walk it in around 5-10 minutes and like the small distance for some peace and quiet as Bowness can get quite busy...especially during the summer months. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Property Owner
Faye July 2022

“We had a fantastic stay at Fellside.”

The house was beautifully finished with many touches well thought out. Our dog loved the special additions for him and our friends who stayed with us enjoyed the amount of living space which suited the infant they had with them. When we booked, the hot tub was not part of house description and this new addition was a great treat after a day of walking. The showers were super and we always had hot water, even when the whole party of guests showered in the morning. (Please don’t include this paragraph in published feedback - only for owners). The dog bath was not clean when we arrived as someone had tried to wash dog poo and tissues down the plughole. It was very smelly and my partner had to clean it up. I think it would be useful to have a sign on the door to the cellar saying there are steep stairs behind it. The stairs are black and the first time we opened the door, there was nearly a fall when we stepped through the d

Emma June 2022

“The property itself was absolutely perfect - really couldn’t have asked for a better location, facilities, comfort and the like.”

It was a brilliant week and we were blessed with the weather which meant lots of dinners outside. The house was missing nothing in terms of utensils, blankets, amble cutlery and plates. Our only question mark was relating to some of the essentials we thought would have been included; for example, there was no washing up liquid, but a sponge was provided. Similarly the coffee machine was there, but there weren’t any pods. We’d also taken some of our own towels from home which was handy otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to use the hot tub nearly as much! Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and the beautiful house you’ve built was perfect for us. Our pooches settled in so quickly and all the dog-friendly recommendations were greatly appreciated. We were in town with family who stayed the other side of Bowness and Fellside Lodge quickly became the place we wanted to spend our time over their accommodation. It is a brilliant home! Thank you for having us.

- Emma, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the house. We are sorry that some of the essentials were missing and we will follow up with Lakelovers on this to ensure this is not an issue going forward. We hope we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

Accommodation first class and absolutely brilliant for dog owners.

Paul May 2022

“Excellent facilities and location, brilliant for dogs with the throws and towels provided, the courtyard is safe for dogs which was our main concern, Very difficult to find a negative comment, my only comment would be to get your cleaners to move the furniture when they clean as when we cleaned on our last day we found a lot of old dust!”

Already recommended to a friend who is going to book. Loved it. Paul

Thank you for your feedback Paul, we are very happy you loved it and thank you for recommending to a friend. Your comments re the cleaning have been passed on to the housekeeping team as we always strive for improvements wherever possible. Property Owner

“Cracking cottage overall!”

Very dog friendly which was fantastic!! A few areas weren’t clean like kitchen floor Hot tub was there hope it’s staying for future as we will rebook !

- Jodie, April 2022

We are glad you enjoyed the cottage and really sorry you found the kitchen floor not to be clean, we will take that up with the housekeeping team. We do aim for the highest of standards throughout. The hot tub is staying, in fact it's being installed this week as a new addition. Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Donna March 2022

“Beautiful home in a perfect location, just a 10 minute walk from Bowness village and also the lakeside.”

The property was very well equipped for humans and especially dogs, and suited a multi-generational family weekend break. Would recommend this property and would stay here again.

- Donna, March 2022
Scarlett February 2022

“Perfect property for weekend away in a fantastic location.”

A very well equipped and spacious kitchen, comfortable beds and great facilities for dogs- especially the shower! Highly recommend.

Gail February 2022

“Wow this is a beautiful spacious cottage.”

It has been tastefully decorated with lots of lovely finishing touches.The cottage was lovely and clean and apart from the dog washing facilities which are an excellent idea you wouldn’t be aware it was a dog friendly cottage. It is just a short walk (10 mins) into Bowness-on-Windermere where there are some wonderful restaurants and bar.We will definitely re-book this little gem.

- Gail, February 2022

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are very happy that you enjoyed it so much. As owners we strive to keep it running at the highest standard so we are always happy to hear that it was up to the highest standard and enjoyed. We will look forward to welcoming you back in future. Property Owner
John January 2022

“Excellent house and location.”

Very good standard of equipment and finishings. Not particularly dog safe in yard area, as previously reported, and no brush to sweep up all the leaves, which was a problem as dog mess in the area, which I stood in before I had even entered property. Laundry basket in bathroom was full of dirty linen from previous occupiers, which was not the best welcome on day one. However, this has not put us off, and we have already booked for two weeks next January.

- John, January 2022

Thank you for your honest feedback. We are sorry you had issues with the housekeeping. This has been reported to Lakelovers and will be put right going forward. The garden has now been cleared of leaves and we apologise profusely that others had not cleaned up after their dogs, that is unforgivable!! We have plans in place for the garden area which will sort out any perceived security issues for dogs going forward. Watch this space! Property Owner
Joanne January 2022

“We loved our stay in your house - thank you!”

The house, furnishing, facilities, position in Bowness village were all wonderful. It felt very spacious, relaxing but full of quality. We found a few things that needed fixing which we felt were easily missed (we gave the detail to the very accommodating house-manager when she came to clean). We are already looking forward to returning.

- Joanne, January 2022
Neil December 2021

“Hi we all thought that the property had everything we could possibly need.”

It was very homely, cosy, lovely and warm and very peaceful. The beds are fantastic and really comfortable. We all enjoyed out stay for the weekend. The only things we can say that are negative is the cleanliness, we do not feel that the floors had been mopped at all and were very dirty including the bedroom floors. The beds had not been made when we arrived and when the person turned up the linen they expected us initially to make up the beds ourselves. We found dirty underwear, socks and other items of clothes in one of the drawers in our room which we a big no no. One of the shower doors in the ground floor room did not close properly which in turn allowed water to leak out onto the floor. With the exception of those things mentioned above it did not stop us all having a lovely relaxed warm cosy weekend. The positives outweigh the negatives by far. thanks Neil & party.

“Fellside Lodge was perfect!”

It is situated very well for exploring Lake Windermere and Bowness and surrounding areas. We will definitely be back! Been restored very tastefully and looks great!

Beckie November 2021

“Absolutely wonderful stay at Fellside Lodge.”

The cottage is just beautiful, location is excellent and the facilities are second to none! Lovely touch to provide towels and blankets for the doggies! The kitchen is so well equipped, had I know how fantastic is was I would have most certainly planned to cook more. Ten out of ten and I would recommend to anyone!

Lucy October 2021

“We had a wonderful week in this stunning dog-friendly cottage.”

The beds are so comfortable and the doggy facilities amazing! The weather was atrocious so copious amounts of wine were consumed in front of the log burner!!

- Lucy, October 2021
Ann October 2021

“Brilliant location.”

Cottage itself was lovely, felt cosy whilst really spacious. All the facilities were great, dog grooming and throws, towels were great addition. Could have done with a stiff yard brush to scrub the steps, they are really slippery when wet. Also, some fencing to stop the dog trying to walk on the garage roof... Booking for next year!!!

The property

Fellside Lodge is a delightful, semi-detached cottage situated on the edge of Bowness-on-Windermere, in the heart of the Lake District.

Boasting three floors of wonderful living, this homely abode is a great choice for families or groups of friends seeking exploration of this magnificent National Park.

After parking up in the off-road parking space, step inside through the porch, before finding the bright and airy sitting room, complete with two plush sofas, a Smart TV and a woodburning stove, creating a cosy ambiance for unwinding.

The chef of the group can get to work in the kitchen, housing a range of appliances including a double gas oven and hob, American-style fridge/freezer and dishwasher, while the utility room offers a washing machine and tumble dryer, ensuring you are well-equipped.

Serve home-cooked meals at the dining table, popping open a bottle of wine and enjoying the company of each other as the woodburning stove offers a gentle warmth.

Stairs from the sitting room leads to a lower-ground-floor bedroom, home to a king-size bed alongside a beautiful freestanding bath, providing a lovely spot for a lazy soak, while there is also an en-suite shower.

The other bedrooms can be found on the first-floor, including a super-king-size which can be arranged as a twin to allow for flexible sleeping arrangements, and a king-size which benefits from a lavish en-suite shower room.

Both rooms are complimented with wooden features and thoughtful decorations, and they are served by a spacious bathroom.

All bedrooms include a professional standard hairdryer.

To the exterior of Fellside Lodge is an enclosed patio where you can dine alfresco style on a balmy summer evening.

Recently installed for 2022 a new 6 seater hot tub for guest to enjoy.

There is also a garage where bikes, canoes or outdoor equipment can be stored. When you’re ready to explore, stroll into the centre of Bowness to find a plethora of superb bars and restaurants, cosy pubs and ice cream shops, along with fascinating attractions such as The World of Beatrix Potter and the Windermere Jetty Museum, where you can learn about the history of the lakes.

Lace up your walking boots and head off on foot to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District, offering many walking, cycling and hiking routes, passing through open moorland, towering fells and beautiful stretches of water; avid outdoor adventurers can tackle the challenging climb to the summit of Scafell Pike, the tallest mountain in England.

Venture into the town of Kendal, where you can browse the many boutique and high-street stores in search of a gift, as well as local attractions such as Kendal Museum.
