• "Fell cottage is a lovely property in a beautiful setting, extremely well equipped and very comfortable and very deserving of its 5 star rating."

  The hosts Mr and Mrs Ditchburn went out of their way to makes us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them.

• "Extremely comfortable and well equipped holiday cottage."

  Every thing has been thought of. The hosts are very generous and helpful. We enjoyed the Finnish barbecue hut and great views from the garden. It's a lovely quiet location but also handy for the North lakes and Solway Firth. Good for walkers and cyclists.

• "I'd like to start by saying I don't normally leave reviews, only for exceptional things and this is one of them."

  If I could I'd give this 6 stars out of 5! Fell Cottage was an absolutely lovely place to stay, not only a lovely cottage but **exceptionally** well equipped. All too often we've stayed somewhere and its missing the basic items for cooking but not this time. The BBQ hut was fantastic, again very well equipped and allowed us to have an evening BBQ even when the weather was miserable! The owners live next door, made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. There is a decent amount of (enclosed) land if you want to take your four legged friend, just be aware the owners have 3 (friendly) dogs and a number of cats if you have a particularly anxious dog. There were massive amounts of board games, toys and books for little kids, loads of books, magazines and a selection of DVD's (although not mentioned there is a DVD player). The only negatives being that the WiFi (and phone signal!) isn't great and the entrance doors & hall really are low, watch your head on entering!! I would very happily go back again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

• "This cottage is in a good location for exploring the Northern Lakes."

  Dogs are welcome and there is a large paddock for exercising them. The cottage is amazing and has everything you need and more. The BBQ hut in the garden is awesome and the on site owners go out of their way to help you have a fantastic holiday. I would give this 6*. Not suitable for very tall people as low ceilings in part of the house though. You WILL bang your head!

  Everything provided is of good quality, and well thought out. The cottage itself is beautiful, set in the most fabulous setting. The gardens are a delight. No negatives at all. Had a two week holiday which ticked all the boxes and more. Thank you Jan & John.

• "Amazing cottage."

  Where to start with summing up this wonderful place. It has everything you could possibly need. Every room has interesting treasures. It is very warm and cosy and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Luxury touches with bedding and furnishing. The little courtyard is good for letting dogs out and there is a large grassy field where my Springers loved sniffing and racing around. All totally enclosed. The rest of the gardens are beautiful and guests are encouraged to use them. Will definitely book to go back as the location makes a large area of the Lake District accessible.

• "Fell Cottage is simply perfect."

  It is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. There is everything you would need for a stay away from home. Every room is comfortable and a joy to spend time in. Bed was so comfortable and as were the settees and chairs. So much so that I've ordered the same pillows to try and replicate the same sound sleep at.home ! We had a lovely night in the BBQ hut which was adorned beautifully to create a really magical feel. The views are captivating. We could see across to Dumfries and Galloway on a clear day and to sit and have coffee in the seating area outside close to the birds feeding was really relaxing. Finally, the owners are the most welcoming and considerate owners. The welcome pack was so nice on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. It was the nicest week we've had in The Lakes. Thank you so much

• "The best cottage we have ever stayed in."

  Wonderful touch of welcome goodies of chocolates, biscuits,flowers and bubbly. The cottage was absolutely immaculate. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable sofas and beds. They had thought of everything to cater for us and our dogs. Brilliantly equipped kitchen. Even enough larger entertaining platters and bowls for if friends and family join you for the day. Lovely hosts, very chatty and welcoming. We loved the pixi hut in the garden with the BBQ, which the owner kindly lit for us so it was ready to use on our return from a walk in the fells. The garden was perfect for our 2 spaniels, very secure and large enough for a good run around,chasing a ball. We loved the numerous sheltered seating areas around the garden to follow the sun around and look at the amazing views. It was so peaceful. We will definitely be staying here again.

• "Fell Cottage, Jewel of the Lakes Words don't realty do justice to this place."

  We absolutely loved it! Stunning inside & out, the cottage is spotlessly clean, incredibly well equipped & so cosy. Perfect hosts, Janet & Jon, have thought of everything and the attention to detail is truly out of this world. With open outlook to rolling hills & fells in every direction, the tasteful furnishings & stylish adornments also reflect the Lakeland views gleaned from every window. As for the garden, what a paradise for plant lovers & birdwatchers alike! We could barely take our eyes away from the woodpeckers, finches & tits taking turns at the feeders every morning. The setting, 'Back of Skiddaw', is a tantalising area to explore and thankfully considerably less known than many of the crowded & more touristy spots further south. Among our favourite excursions: Buttermere & Wainwright's Haystacks; Caldbeck; Bassenthwaite Lake & Dodd; Whitehaven & St Bees at the coast; and all the gorgeous, virtually car-free rustic lanes roundabout Sandale & Ireby. Thanks so much to Janet & Jon for letting us share your idyll. We'll be back for sure!!

• "We loved our week staying at Fell Cottage, it's an amazing property filled with beautiful things."

  The garden is a credit to them, it's so well maintained considering how big it is!! You are encouraged to enjoy the house and garden at your leisure. Love how they are so child friendly, loads of toys, games etc, infact the house has everything you could possibly need including plenty cleaning materials ( hate when you are asked by the booking agents to leave properties clean but don't provide anything to do it with) More than dog friendly. Nothing negative at all to say about this place, amazing cottage, fantastic views and lovely owners, thanks Janet and Jon for a lovely stay we will be back x

  ! you could need provided including a welcome pack.The location was ideal, quiet and out of the way ,but not to far away that it would take you all day to get there for instance Keswick was only 30 minutes away and Bowness on Windermere just over a hour.

• "This was a superb cottage with every creature comfort accounted for, topped off set within spectacular scenery on the edge of the national park."

  Well kitted out for couples or families with children, no need to bring your kitchen sinks as this lovely cottage has everything you would need for ALL the family. The owners who lived next door were great, but at the same time never in your face. Cannot recommend this cottage enough. Being set on the quieter edge of the lakes it still affords easy access to all of the busier tourist spots and many quieter ones too. The nearby lakes distillery is well worth the visit.

  They have provided everything you could wish for to have a truly great holiday. The designer kitchen has every facility you could ever need and opens out onto a sheltered patio. Lounge and bedrooms are upstairs so you can take in the views of the garden and the hills. All the furnishings are very good quality comfortable and well thought out. You are given the use of all the areas in the gardens....a spectacular Scandinavian bbq hut at the top of the field with seating for about eight...a must if you are avid bbq fans! Janet and Jon are brilliant friendly hosts and will look after you well.....produce from the allotment, eggs from the seven chickens, and Jon will offer you any other items he Although we didn't have children with us we could see they are well catered for with lots of toys books etc and outside playthings too. There are friendly dogs and cats to meet who will come to see you every morning. Keswick is about half an hour away and Wigton four miles away for good butchers and some general grocers. This was the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in!

  Try though I might, we just couldn't fault it, and set in a part of Lakeland that is perhaps not the most visited, and therefore not quite as crowded as some of the better known spots, and all the better for it. Needless to say it is very much in demand, and we only hope we can find a slot soon.
