Fell Foot Reviews

Phillip
Lovely place in a great location and great communication. Would Def stay again.
Michael
We had a fabulous time in this beautiful cottage, a real family home which was so cosy and had all the facilities you would need. The gardens were lovely and well maintained with a hot tub which was so relaxing and had beautiful views to look at whilst you relaxed. We had fun evenings on the wii, and a great choice of film on sky. Fuel for the wood burner was plentiful. We lived the cottage so much we booked again for March 2025 whilst we were there. Thanks to Dawn for the lovely welcome and hamper.
Nicola
Amazing stay, lovely cottage, peaceful, tranquil, just what we wanted. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped, the little one loved playing with. Amazing hot tub views. Great contact from Kate and Dawn.
Alison
The property and gardens were amazing the views spectacular. If I were to recommend anything at all it would be more comfortable mattress in the king sized room and proper 3 foot 6 single beds in the other rooms. It's not always small children who require a single bed. This said it would truly take some beating. Provided the best rr withing easy reach of bars, plenty of walking both gentle and more challenging. Would deffinatly book again.
Russell
What a find. The most beautiful of locations, the most beautiful cottage and excellent facilities. A small stream running through the garden, bridges, a covered gorgeous Hot Tub with breathtaking views and the cottage couldnt feel more Lake District. Dawn was VERY helpful and the cleanliness, instructions and welcome gifts were lovely. Thank you for a very wonderful holiday, we shall be back.
Christopher
I stayed here with friends for a walking holiday and we absolutely loved the place. The owners had left us a lovely welcome package and the cottage had everything that we needed. Can't imagine a better way to finish a day of strenuous walking than sitting in a hot tub and looking out at the snowcapped fells!
Very comfy and delightfully situated cottage
Andrew
A lovely Cumbrian stone cottage, which has been sympathetically extended. The cottage has all the facilities we could have wished for, including a hot tub at the top of the garden. In summary a lovely quiet location. Santon Bridge is a small village however there is a good pub, and several good tea shops cafes. Eskdale Green and Wasdale are very close, lovely unspoilt villages, with more places to eat and drink, and the idyllic Wastwater lake.
Fantastic garden, views and facilities, wii for the kids when needed, range of books games, fully furnished property, great sized laundryboot room for dogs, hanging outerwear, storing boots etc. Bedrooms were comfortable and really clean as were the bathrooms, with an abundance of towels I think its fair to say the decor is a little dated, but our interaction with the owners and the prep for our stay along with the overall comfort levels more than made up for this. Most of the days are spent outside and it was a great place to return to after rafting, walking etc and is perfectly positioned for the great pub, just down the road. Fully recommend staying here, for the space in the house, views, facilities provided by owner, the great garden and overall comfort
What a fabulously large cottage in a great location that easily accommodated 6 adults and 2 dogs. Gorgeous garden and the hot tub was a delight after a day's hiking.
Excellent house very well situated and equipped. Owners and housekeeper are lovely and always on hand to help. Would stay again
Amazing spacious accomodation. .everything we needed.
A comfortable family property with fantastic views and a great well kept garden with beautiful flowers , squirrels and birds galore with sheep in the surrounding fields . The cottage has everything you need , spacious rooms , books and games available and a tinkle on the piano too . Welcome pack was great with bones for our dogs too. Fab location , walks from the cottage , Ravenglass railway 10 minutes away , and less than a 40 minute drive will take you to Wastwater , Whitehaven and St Bees. An hour away is Coniston water , a drive over the hills , and through windy roads, Ice cream and gingerbread in Hawkshead not to be missed . Overall a fantastic holiday , we would definitely love to visit Fell Foot again .
The cottage excesses are expectations. It was clean and well equipped. The gardens were stunning. The location was truly tranquil. The most enjoyable week with family. The dogs enjoyed the peaceful surrounds. Would definitely go back.
Such a beautiful cottage in a beautiful area, there was 8 of us staying all together and there was plenty of room for us and it made such a nice weekend, we are already looking at rebooking to come back!
Daniel
Fantastic property with character, as described and really wellequipped. Loads of board games plus waterproof OS 125k maps to borrow. Fell view from hot tub with a plastic glass of something fizzy was a treat! Local pub 1 min walk, 1.5 mile walk through local wood past tarn and round to halt station on the steam railway 1.75 miles to pub at Eskdale Green and fab hike over Irton Fell with Wasdale views to brill pub at Nether Wasdale The Strands. Easy and fun local drives, overall quiet area of the Lakes. Great having Fell Foot to come back to at night. Highly recommended.
This was a very well equipped residence and the garden was fabulous for our two terriers. we would definitely stay again.
What an amazing property, so well equipped. From bread and butter, to waterproof maps. And of course tea and cake! Amazing. Dawn, the housekeeper, was so helpful and on hand at any moment. Beautiful views from the hot tub and garden, there is a cattle grid at the front of the property, which, somehow, our dog managed to get across, but only once, we think he didnt like the experience first time. We loved to play the games which were on the bookshelf, with all the pieces still in their boxes! Oven gloves and tea towels, plastic rubbish bags and kitchen roll were all available for us, in the kitchen.
Thomas
Lovely property, great location, and quick communication from housekeeper. Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in the Lake District.
It was a beautiful location. On arriving in the cottage, the extra touches that were there was lovely, being welcomed with a lovely Welcome card and pack with even extra for your 4 legged friends. Arriving in December, expecting it to be cold, the cottage was warm and comfortable. Highly recommend to stay here.
Elizabeth
An absolutely fantastic property. We loved our stay a cosy, homely property in a fantastic location. We cant wait to return!
Shelagh
The property was of a very high standard and well equipped. We had a great stay and loved the hot tub. It was perfect after a day of walking. Everything from booking to picking up keys was perfect, Kate even contacted us to say it was ready early if we needed to arrive sooner. This was very thoughtful and well received as we were in the area early! I can see us booking again in future. Thank you
Adrian
Very comfortable and well equipped property. Brilliant location with lots to do and see. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a days walking looking out onto the fells. Owner very friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing holiday.
Catherine
Was a very well equipped comfortable property. The hot tub and garden were amazing, as was the views. The communication from the owner and housekeeper was brilliant, would definitely go again.
Louise
Great cottage in a very peaceful setting. Loots of space for us and our 2 dogs. The garden certainly kept them busy. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained. A short walk to a great pubdiner meant no cooking nightly, a big hit for us too.
Michele
Our holiday was perfect, from the accommodation right up to the areas to visit whilst there. Photos just doesn't give the house justice. Very clean, very roomy, very well equipped, we all absolutely loved it, especially at night when my 18 year old son would play the X Box as he's not keen on hot tubs. Really nice views from the huge, lovely quirky garden and when relaxing in the hot tub which was used more or less every day. Would love to visit again especially as a gate will be fitted to the entrance of the drive way. I would highly recommend.
Lovely house and garden, hot tub serviced every two days, plenty of room , facilities and equipment for the 6 adults and two children in our party.
Fabulous holiday home, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Accommodated 8 adults and 2 dogs easily. Hot tub was gorgeous with amazing views to the mountains and lovely gardens. Plenty of off road parking and a short walk to the local pub which serves good food. Cafe round the corner for basic supplies and a small gift shop. Highly recommended!
Christine
We had a wonderful week at Fell Foot it was home from with everything you you would expect and more. Attention to detail was great one if the best holiday cottages we have stayed in lovely location stunning garden and a very helpful housekeeper if needed above and beyond expectations. Will go back again.
Best property we have stayed in in many visits to the Lakes. A really comfortable home from home with a fabulous garden ideal for older children but not toddlers, beautifully presented and with everything we needed. Very dog friendly. Nice quiet location with beautiful walks nearby.
Katherine
Perfect for a group or family We 4 couples had a fabulous weekend in this lovely cottage. We were extremely lucky with the weather! and so got to enjoy the garden as well as the interior. Clean with plenty of space, the cottage is in a quiet location with great views, but also very convenient for the pub. Perfect.
Zechariah
Wonderful cottage, great hot tub, close to some great walks! Fantastic stay
Natalie
This holiday was amazing. We went over Christmas and where able to spend Christmas under the same roof as a family of 8. The cottage was everything we had hoped. Was all set up to feel christmassy specially with the open fire on. We all had an amazing time and didnt want to come home. Absolutly lovely place. So quiet. Would definatley recommend.
What a beautiful property. Honestly you can tell its loved, everything you can think of is ready for you. Lovely comfortable beds and the towels and linen so clean and new. Thankyou so much, we really enjoyed our stay.
We loved the cottage, garden and the hot tub. It felt really homely and cosy. We would definitely like to stay there again
Property is stocked with all sorts of useful things. Very homely and a great gardenhot tub. Extremely relaxing.
Fell Foot Cottage is a very comfortable, homely cottage nestled within beautiful and breathtaking scenery that exceeded our expectations. The hot tub was an added bonus. We will definitely be returning.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 15 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 17 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 19 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 20 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 28 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
