Fellside Lodge

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.

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

Absolutely stunning property and was fitted out with everything we could imagine. Loved the dogbenefittingfriendly rules and would certainly return. Even closer to the centre than we imagined making our stay even better. Cant fault it one bit & have recommended to all friends and family. Thank you!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 510 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.

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 its spotless. Had a super sunny week and still used the hottub. Will definitely be booking again.

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 freshfrozen, 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 kitchenliving 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.

Lovely cottage would stay again

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 oclock 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 wasnt enough cupboard space for our food stuff and a bread bun would have been useful but it didnt 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.

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 wasnt essential as the views and walks are our thing.

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.

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 theres 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 couldnt. 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 wouldnt hesitate to stay here again. It is a beautiful property and we could have easily stayed another week.

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.

Lovely property with good sized bedrooms and sitting rooms. Very dog friendly and the hot tub was a great added extra.

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

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 !

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.

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.

The property itself was absolutely perfect really couldnt 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 werent any pods. Wed also taken some of our own towels from home which was handy otherwise we wouldnt have been able to use the hot tub nearly as much! Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and the beautiful house youve built was perfect for us. Our pooches settled in so quickly and all the dogfriendly 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.

Super dog friendly house in a great location. Very well equipped for two and four legged friends. The house was very clean and well presented.

Fabulous stay. Accommodation first class and absolutely brilliant for dog owners.

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

Cracking cottage overall! Very dog friendly which was fantastic!! A few areas werent clean like kitchen floor Hot tub was there hope its staying for future as we will rebook !

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 multigenerational family weekend break. Would recommend this property and would stay here again.

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.

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 wouldnt be aware it was a dog friendly cottage. It is just a short walk 10 mins into BownessonWindermere where there are some wonderful restaurants and bar.We will definitely rebook this little gem.

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.

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 housemanager when she came to clean. We are already looking forward to returning.

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!

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!

We had a wonderful week in this stunning dogfriendly 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!!

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!!!
