“We did have a slight issue with the showers and I informed Lakelovers of this.”

It didn't affect our stay at all. Bearing in mind this is a very popular rental, it's difficult to find a slot to manage all the little things. I always believe it's best to let the company/owners know of anything so that it can be attended to when possible. We are so lucky to have found such a suitable property. The availability of two lounges is brilliant and allows for "quiet time" when wanted.

“Beautiful setting for a holiday cottage.”

Felldale has everything you need for a holiday. I actually found the sofas in the front lounge to be very comfortable although a tad challenging to get out off. And as others had said it is a bit worrying at first to see pale carpets in a dog friendly cottage, but this was not an actual issue. I did find the washing machine instructions totally baffling and an idiots guide to how to wash and dry a load would have been greatly appreciated, but that could just be me. All in all a great stay which I totally enjoyed, those views are just amazing. Thank you for letting us stay.

“Outstanding views and beautiful bungalow that sits well in its surroundings and we enjoyed our stay here for this alone.”

It was however let down by the lack of comfort in the sofas which have seen better days and are difficult to get up from especially if you are of advancing years. There were a couple of cold nights whilst we were there and we found the bedding to be inadequate leaving us chilled. We couldn’t find the keys to the doors for the large room at the rear of the property and the back door in the utility area was awkward to open and then lock. Thank you for the welcome hamper, which was greatly appreciated and overall we did have a good week at this bungalow, which is lovely….

“We had a wonderful holiday at Felldale.”

The cottage was in a beautiful area and the views where absolutely stunning. The only down sides to the cottage was that the leather setter in the front lounge area was not very comfy and needed to replaced as it was beyond its sell by date. It was also a shame that the lounge area at the back of the property was not very user friendly. It could do with a larger Tele and a more comfortable sitting area. The room was a stunning room and it seemed to be wasted. After saying all that we will be back next year.

“Very beautiful property only not dog friendly having cream carpets very concerned about dirty feet coming in from the garden.”

No American style fridge freezer although this wasn't a deal breaker. Views are stunning and fire made a cozy evening

“Excellent all around.”

Secure to side of garage. Service power shower button as it falls off.

- Kenneth Neil, May 2024

We will look into that when we are there in a couple of weeks. Very pleased you found our home excellent all round, did you see the red squirrels too? Best wishes, Simon and Sally Property Owner

“We did enjoy our stay very much.”

Do feel some areas need a little TLC, utility room, shower rooms need a little up dating. Also did not find sofas very comfortable in front lounge especially if you have a bad back☹️ Beautiful home and fantastic views of the fells. Wonderful wild life.

“We had a lovely stay at Felldale.”

It provides a stunning aspect across Deepdale and Patterdale. We were unlucky with the weather however, with the comfort and space we were still able to relax and enjoy our break. The proximity to a large variety of walks from a gentle stroll into Glenridding to bagging several Wainwrights at a time meant that making the most of the breaks in weather was easy. The property allowed for enjoying the sun in the garden and plenty of space for drying gear when needed. A great Lakeland location and property - thanks!!

- John, April 2024

So good to hear you enjoyed your stay, even if the weather was poor! Hope to welcome you back again soon, Simon and Sally Property Owner
David December 2023

“The Property and location with views was one of the very best I have ever stayed in if not the best.”

I have been staying in the Lake District for many years so happy to give this a recommendation if you like your views and many walks from the doorstep. As it snowed so much this was perfect as didn't need to use the car at all. Thanks so much for Christmas Decorations a lot of places only do that really close to Christmas day so this was a nice surprise. David & Hayley

- David, December 2023

That’s lovely to hear. Very envious of the snow conditions, they were skiing on Raise! Have a great Christmas, best wishes, Simon and Sally Property Owner

“Felldale is just so good for walking, exploring the lakes and resting.”

- Gay, November 2023

Absolutely, we love it! Simon and Sally Property Owner
Lorise November 2023

“Felldale was situated in a lovely place with breathtaking views,the furniture was quite tired and a few stains on some,but apart from that we enjoyed our stay we were only there a short while for our daughters Wedding but think it was a little expensive for a weekend .”

- Lorise, November 2023

We don’t do short break bookings, so you’d agreed to the full week rental, but only using for the weekend. We hope you had a fabulous time at your daughter’s wedding, in such a beautiful setting. Simon and Sally Property Owner
Amanda September 2023

“Fantastic bungalow in such a stunning location have already recommended this place to a number of friends.”

Plenty of space for six adults and two dogs who loved the enclosed garden. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here!

- Amanda, September 2023
Elaine August 2023

“The size of the cottage is perfect for a large family and well equipped with everything.”

Great garden and large modern living room. the problem we had was purely the bathrooms, one had a broken seat which the company sorted the same day. I complained about the smell of the en-suite bathroom but the maintenance man said nothing would be done about that so we left it. Unfortunately the bathroom is internal and smells very unpleasant. We cleaned it thoroughly but the smell returned. the rest of the property was very clean but the bathroom smell let it down badly.

- Elaine, August 2023

Sorry to read your comments, this is the first time it’s been mentioned by any guests. We were not aware that Lakelovers had had to fix a toilet seat, and have not had any notification of this, so apologies if this was the case. Hopefully the rest of your stay was enjoyable. Kind regards, Simon and Sally Property Owner

“Superb property, spacious, comfortable and wonderful location.”

Tim June 2023

“We had a great stay, lovely bungalow in a lovely location.”

Lots of flies inside not sure where they kept coming from but not a major issue. Gate down the side needs repairing as one of our dogs escaped and got out through the neighbours fence, I know I should have checked before letting them out but didn't notice the gate was laying on the floor. Despite rain each day we had a great relaxing time thank you.

- Tim, June 2023
Malcolm May 2023

“The bed linen was damp and smelly.”

One duvet cover was msmelling of heating oil. We had to rewash and dry all linen. Otherwise the cottage was truly wonderful.

- Malcolm, May 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at Felldale. We were unaware of the issues that you mentioned regarding the bedding. The standard of cleaning is usually very high with our cleaners this year, had we been made aware of the issues during your stay, we would have attended to resolve the issues. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team. Property Owner
Jeffrey November 2022

“Excellent base for walking around the Ullswater fells, plenty of hikes straight from the cottage.”

Lovely couple of pubs and restaurants nearby. Felldale is a lovely cottage and in the winter the fire in the lounge is excellent and very welcoming. We would heartilly recommend staying at Felldale whether you are doing some serious walking in the area or just visiting to see the sights. Plenty of room for six with good facilities.

- Jeffrey, November 2022
Gay November 2022

“Beautiful spot.”

Great walks. Lots of space for family to share. We stayed in winter which we loved but in summer it must be an absolute gem

“Loved our stay but would recommend an increase in the amount of everyday cutlery and crockery.”

Heather July 2022

“We had a lovely week at Felldale.”

The pictures on the website did not do the place justice, the views were stunning and the walks really were right from the front door. The beds were comfy and the showers always hot. The access was tight and I was glad my husband was braver than me getting the car up the narrow lane and very thankful we hadn't brought our van as I don't think we would have managed to reach the property. It was a shame the cleaners were only just arriving as our party arrived and luckily the weather was kind enough for our entry into the property to be postponed an hour but this was possibly the reason the place was not as clean as we might have expected. The oven had not been cleaned and I think the main issue with the carpets is that the hoover bag needed replacing. Overall we had a gorgeous stay and I would not hesitate to book again.

- Heather, July 2022
Jeffrey November 2021

“Felldale is a beautiful house where we had a lovely winter break.”

The real fire in the lounge was very warming and really appreciated. Being able to walk such lovely places straight from the door is amazing. We had two minor suggested improvements to make. The first is a bigger teapot would be really useful and also one bigger pan. We had four people in the party so it was not really a problem. With a party of 6 it would have been more noticeable. Thank you for our stay at your lovely property.

Samantha October 2021

“Fantastic location and well equipped holiday home.”

Cleanliness needed a little more attention especially in corners of rooms and sofa in front lounge was very uncomfortable.

- Samantha, October 2021
Ceri July 2021

“Driving over the Kirkstone Pass is a bit of an adventure, even in Summer.”

The view of the mountains from the front of the property is better than the listing photos. Nice walks directly from the property. Nature on the doorstep - red squirrel and rabbits in the garden, martins nesting over the door, pied flycatchers, swallows, woodpecker and a sparrowhawk. The property was peaceful, surprisingly spacious, quite well equipped, with comfortable beds. Our only negative was the flies in the property when we initially arrived - but it is the countryside, just take some fly spray.

- Ceri, July 2021
Mrs Klement Sep 2019

“This bungalow is in a great location.”

Very comfortable and relaxing with a high standard of quality furnishings and comfort. We brought our elderly parents away to rekindle their memories of many holidays they had in the lakes. This property was just perfect.

- Mrs Klement, Sep 2019
Justine Nov -0001

“The views from this property were breathtaking.”

There were plenty of walks right from the front door and a friendly pub just down the road. The cottage was spacious and well equipped.

The property

Felldale cottage is perfectly placed amongst some of the most stunning scenery in the Lake District, with every season offering a new picture postcard view. Nestled between Place Fell, Angle Tarn Pikes, High Street and Deepdale: this is truly a property where you can leave the car for a week, and take to the fells right from the front door.

There are mountain bike trails right from the doorstep; and Ullswater, with all its water based activities, is just a five minute drive away. Two homely pubs just under a mile away: the Brothers Water Inn and the White Lion in Patterdale, provide just the refreshment a day on the fells demands- or if you don't fancy cooking, some good pub Faye.

The Patterdale village store is very well stocked, with a small coffee and cakes parlour for refreshments after an easy stroll along the river from the cottage into the village. Felldale comprises of 1 double bedroom, 1 king bedroom and a twin bedded room which benefits from an ensuite shower room; adjacent to the doubles are a shower-toilet room and a family bathroom - giving everyone on holiday their own space.

Decorated to an excellent standard throughout and furnished in a homely and welcoming style, Felldale has lots of space to entertain and relax, with all the rooms in the cottage looking out onto the fabulous views. Accommodation in detail A narrow country lane leads up to the cottage, following a spectacular drive over the Kirkstone Pass.

The cottage is all on one floor: making access throughout the property easy, with only a few steps up to the second lounge. The first lounge has a Smart TV with Freesat and an open fire set in a large stone hearth (coal provided).

The second lounge is a real feature room, with a large dining table; wood beams; Smart TV/DVD and micro CD player; an electric colour change fire; comfy furniture and access onto an excellent outdoor space. The terrace, with a large dining table, is the ideal BBQ or breakfast spot in the summer months.

The property faces south/east, giving sun to the front and back gardens, which stretch up onto the fell side and provide lots of room to relax. The kitchen is well equipped with Neff appliances including; two ovens, a dishwasher, a nespresso coffee machine, and a separate utility room containing a second large American style fridge freezer and washer/dryer. Choose from any of the three comfortable and well - appointed bedrooms which serve as a welcome retreat at the end of the day.

The first two bedrooms are doubles and the third is a twin.

It is this third bedroom which contains the ensuite bathroom.

The other bedrooms are complemented by a separate shower/toilet room and a family bathroom. The front half of the garage has been sectioned off to provide secure storage for mountain bikes, canoes and outside gear: making Felldale a fantastic facility for those with adventurous plans.

The sloping driveway provides parking for three cars, with a secure level garden at the front of the cottage, making the most of the spectacular views, and an elevated terrace and patio area with more garden at the rear of the property. Location The inspiration for Wordsworth's 'Daffodills' Ullwater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District and is widely thought to be the most picturesque, being ideal for a self catering Lake District holiday.

Travelling from the central Lakes over the stunning Kirkstone Pass you will drop down into the beautiful glacial carved landscapes surrounding the Lake itself, with many quaint villages along its shore line.

The areas around the lake provide the perfect place for a restful and relaxed self-catering holiday, with plenty of opportunity for walking, exploring and getting out on the Lake. At the southern end of the Lake you will find Glenridding, a popular little village and an excellent base to explore plentiful challenging peaks but especially Helvellyn and Striding Edge .

The area is excellent for either touring or relaxing and there are many walks from the cottage - The High Street Ridge, Place Fell, St. Sunday Crag and the Fairfield hills all being within striking distance. Ullswater is thought by many to be the most beautiful of all the lakes in the northern Lake District, being a serpentine body of water snaking a nine mile course under the lea of magnificent fells, woodland and mountain.

Much of the lake, its shore and surrounding fells are accessible for visitors to explore, where you will find some of the finest walks and water activities, along with the amenities of the lakeside villages. One of the best walks in the National Park is the trail that runs along the eastern shores of Ullswater.

Explored from the southern end of the lake, dominated by Place Fell, St Sunday Cragg, and Fairfield, you take the path from Glenridding over to the east side of the water.

You will be able to ramble all day with a magnificent view always in your sight.

For the return journey, board the steamboat from Howtown back to Glenridding.

For those who like getting up high, there are some of the best mountains and fells on your doorstep, the most famous being Helvellyn and the precipitous Striding Edge.A gentler walk is Aira Force, probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls.

The main force falls some 70ft below a stone footbridge - so don't forget your camera. Getting on the water is easy.

You can take a boat cruise on one of the five beautiful steamers in the Ullswater Steamer fleet.

They run the boats from Glenridding, with piers also at Pooley Bridge and Howtown.

It's a great way to see the lake from a different perspective and well worth taking a camera.Boat hire is readily available, both at Glenridding and Pooley Bridge, where you have a varied selection of craft on offer including kayaks, sailing boats and little motorboats, along with hire of fishing tackle and licenses.

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