Fellside Lodge

Fellside Lodge was such a cosy place to stay. The kitchendining area was so sociable we loved it. Cosy little reading room and beautiful log fires. Beds were very comfortable. All baby items were very high quality and even had brand new packaged sheets if we wanted to use them. The dog facilities were amazing. It was a perfect weekend, despite the weather

A lovely cottage that has been beautifully renovated to a high standard. It is located up a hill just a short walk to the centre of Bowness however still feels quiet and private. There are shops, bars and restaurants within easy reach. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need if you choose to cook. The three lovely bedrooms are all a good size with comfortable beds, 2 with ensuites and one main bathroom. In the snug there is an interesting selection of books and games. I loved the large utility room and had been excited about using the doggy bath, however there is no way I could have got my old dog down the steep steps. The outdoor space is safe and securely enclosed. The hotcold outdoor doggy shower was useful. We have one at home but was a first for us in a rental property. The hot tub was the hit of our stay and we were in it each evening. Just be aware that there are a lot of steps in this property and if you have an older dog they may struggle with the Amtico flooring. Having said that it is by far the most doggy friendly place we have stayed.

Where do I start! My hubby and 2 adult children with partners stayed for 3 nights last weekend. I truly didnt want to leave! Its the first time weve take the kids back to the lakes since they were much younger. The property was so much more than we imagined. Kitchen was amazing, we were doing a come dine with me and were amazed at everything provided, incredible! Downstairs living areas were so comfortable, log burners very welcome. Bedrooms and bathrooms were incredible, we felt as if we were in a 5 hotel. Beds incredibly comfortable. Downstairs utility with washer and dryer plus dog washing, which we didnt actually need to use these but very well equipped. Outside area lovely and secluded, hot tub accommodated all of us comfortably. Just 10 minutes walk from the centre made it a perfect base to walk to or visit surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend this property!

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

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!

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. Didnt 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.

Had a great week, beautiful cottage

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

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. Its a beautiful house and right near the pubs shops and lake. We had lovely walks near by. I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.

Fantastic place to stay dog friendly only 5min walk to pubs etc . Will rebook to stay again

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.

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.

We had a fab stay! The cottage was beautiful, clean and a short walk into town! Would 100 come back again.

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.

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.

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.
