Dragonsfell Reviews

I booked this for my family to be together for my 60th birthday every thing was great hot tub fantastic everybody really enjoyed it would definitely book again The two things I would say is could do with more serving dishes and utilities And spot light over hot tub we all tripped over steps may my age now

Gerard

What a fantastic setting and perfect for family or large group get togethers. Everything was as described in the listing and any minor queries we had were quickly responded to by the owner using the contact details provided. Dargonsfell is the ideal place for a getaway idyllic rural hillside setting with Kendal and the Lake District within easy reach.

Tracey

Lovely relaxing home away from home. Everything we needed for a break with family. Ideally located away from crowds but close enough to enjoy all that The Lake District has to offer. Need to be mindful of neighbours. Area is so quiet noise travels so need to stick to 10pm curfew.

Pamela

Dragonsfell cottage was beautiful and such a great place for our family getaway all of the bedrooms were fabulous but the best upstairs is the ensuite room the bed was huge! and also the bedroom on the ground floor was amazing to get all cozy at the end of the evening with a vast array of books to chose from the living room was a lovely big open space with a huge dining table to accomodate us all the climbing enthusiast that was just doing the finishing touches when we arrived was lovely my only issue is that the hot tub wasnt heated for our arrival so we couldn't make use of it for our first night and we only booked 3 nights and the younger ones was disappointed

We had a great stay over New Year. The cottage was perfect for our group's needs and was very spacious with lots of social space and comfy bedrooms. Great hot tub. Location was very convenient and close to Kendal. We would definitely come back.

Matthew

Excellent cottage in a very secluded group of houses. Parking for 34 cars, hot tub, spacious living room and quality kitchen appliances equipment. Still some work to do such as adding a utility room and downstairs toilet, but otherwise a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Michelle

Had a really wonderful stay at Dragonsfell, you feel away from the busy crowds with beautiful surrounding views, that includes the Yorkshire Dales as well as the the Lake District. Yet only a short drive from Kendal and Windermere not far away. Only 2 miles from M6, Junction 37. Exactly as it looks in the photos, characterful and spacious cottage, yet cosy, with most items we needed. The hottub was a great addition and the front garden very secure for our small dog. The owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Appreciate the very quick turnaround preparations, given we moved from another cottage at very short notice. Dragonsfell is at the time of writing a work in progress, with a few areas to finish, which the owner is planning to implement. However, this did not detract from our enjoyment, we came home feeling really refreshed after staying here. We would definitely recommend a choosing this cottage and would book here again.

We had a great family holiday. Venue terrific. Dragonsfell is a new let undergoing improvements. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped, the lounge spacious and the bedrooms comfortable. When the improvements are complete and the owners plans put into place Dragonsfell will be the perfect holiday home.

We stayed for 2 nights along with another family. Pros Kitchen appliances are great, huge livingdining room. Great location for hikes or going to other attractions. Cons After arriving to the property we notice the ensuite was locked up and messages the owner. Then we were notified the ensuite had a leak and we can no longer use it. This leaves the 10 of us with one shower, and two separate toilet. This was a big let down. Then one of the room down stairs was very dusty and the sheets had yellow marks, the pillow cases also had black marks. We had to put towels over it to sleep. However other rooms was perfectly fine. The next day owner did give us the access to other clean sheets. The Jacuzzi took a whole day to heat up so we only used it for one day. Another let down was the flooring squeaks so bad the whole cottage can hear it. Also if you want to throw party avoid here as neighbours will. complain very badly.
