"Absolutely loved the cottage & the pub next door."
Staff extremely friendly and welcoming & we will be back in feb!!

"Outstanding cottage- extremely welcoming host and superb pub next door."
Could not have asked for a better accommodation. 10/10 for absolutely everything
-
"What an absolutely beautiful little cottage it is, beautifully presented and lovely and clean."
A perfect place to travel around the area from and not forgetting that it's attached to a pub. The pub sells cracking beers and absolutely fantastic food and the staff, which there seems to be quite a few are so, so friendly and so helpful. Charlotte who runs the pub and owns the beautiful cottage is so helpful and ready to help no matter how small a problem you have she's there ready to help. I would definitely come back here. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!

"A wonderful cottage, very homely and warm ."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage had everything you could want. Very happy to recommend it.
-
"Beautiful property with all the facilities we could wish for."
Only 4 stars due to tricky junction to exit from parking spot. The Pheasant Inn gave us amazing food…both dinners and breakfast.
-
"Lovely spacious and clean property."
-
"The description on sykes website is not accurate as both cartmel and grange are much further in milage than stated, not within walking distance."
also the pub, yakkers is closed down. The road noise is unbearable at times especially at 6am with heavy lorries passing the cottage windows. Does not state that this is a very busy road.
-
"Great location ,cottage has everything you need for your stay, comfortable warm ,to exit the property does need a mirror across the road as the veiw to exit is very limited ."
-
"This was our first visit to this little gem."
...and it's perfect in every way....it's so cosy and warm and comfortable....with the added bonus of the pub next door which does gorgeous food and they all made us feel so welcome with our dog...the cottage was in a good location too, for getting to different places....we definitely recommend this place

"The cottage was furnished to a very high standard and we enjoyed our stay."
Its position sits on a very busy road but the traffic going past didnt bother us. There is no pavement so walking the dog was an issue but we went out every day. The parking for your car is down a steep slope, next to a garage, and getting back out is a trial as you cant see the traffic coming. A road mirror opposite would be a big help. The only small points with the cottage were my wife wished there was a dressing table mirror to sit at when drying her hair. There should also be a roller blind on the landing and bathroom windows as the houses opposite get a good view if you forget yourself. On the positive side, the cottage has loads of plug sockets, some with usb ports. The jacuzzi bath was great fun (the plug is a dial on the side) and the kitchen had everything you could need.The shower was excellent and the beds are very comfortable. The sofas are both electric recliners with usb ports in the side.Fantastic and very comfy. I would speak to Gavin, the owner, who runs the pub next door, about parking in the pub car park, if the slope bothers you. Would recommend Fernleigh Cottage as a good base for the south Lake District. The pub next door does great food and beer and we ate there a couple of times. The staff were lovely and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

"The cottage was lovely, had everything we needed, the milk & the bottle of wine on arrival was very thoughtful."
The area was great for visiting the lakes...we visited Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick and also Morcombe. Dog friendly cottage too!
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage and perfect location for the South Lakes."
A little update/replacement required; new frying pan ( we didn't use it as it was so badly scratched) wooden spoon for stirring?? Bedroom, kitchen window seals split gives sad impression to the property.
-
"Good size cottage for 4 people but kitchen area small and difficult for more than one person to be in there cooking."
Dining tanke for 4 but only enough room for 2 adults to sit as area too small to get into other 2 chairs. 2 of us sat at breakfast bar instead. Biggest issue for us was out of owners control and was the traffic noise. For such a small village there is a lot of traffic and so noisy as cottage is right on the road so don't expect a lie in if you're a light sleeper.
-
"Absolutely fantastic place to stay."
everything and more was there to make the staycation a success. one small niggle, maybe explain in the welcome pack about the switch for the jacuzzi bath, or make a sign for it. the pub next door is very friendly and convenient. we will return in the future.

"The cottage is really well positioned for travelling around the lake district, but it is bang on a very busy road, also people walk by the windows and can look in, which was uncomfortable, yes there is a blind to pull, but the weather had been so good, we really didn't want to shut it out."
We used the rear entrance, as we have dogs, and there's a gate. The side door opens into the kitchen. Into the conservatory, where a table for 4 is placed, its bright, clean and functional. Into the kitchen which has an island in the middle, lots of storage which is great, dishwasher, washing machine and fan assisted oven for cooking with electric hob. Large fridge too. Into the front room 2 lovely ĺeather sofas, big TV and a playstation. Upstairs is the bathroom, which is really big, with jacuzzi bath and separate shower, plus WC. The shower is one of the hottest I've ever been in, it was Fantastic! 2 bedrooms upstairs, both have plenty of storage, I stayed in the room next to the bathroom, and when I sneezed, it actually echoed! Large room. Also in the rooms are rather large tvs too. The foam-sponge mattress protector made the beds very hot, but they were very comfortable. I enjoyed my break, but I wouldn't return to stay here as the road is too busy, too close and we really didn't like people walking by looking in. If you are looking for a good location to visit the lake district, this is a good spot. The bins could do with being clearly labelled too, as we were unsure on which was ours to use, all neighbours bins were in one place but not labelled clearly. We used The Pheasant car park, as the parking next to the cottage is tight and the neighbours have large vehicles, which would struggle to park if I parked my car there too.

"Third time using this cottage ."
... which speaks for itself - and will be back! Comfortable and cosy and ideal location. Owners/pud staff are very friendly and helpful.
-
"Very comfortable property."
The reclining sofas were especially appreciated. Excellent food in the Pheasant Inn & very dog friendly. Jaffa loved the attention! Not much of a back garden but it was enclosed allowing us to let the dog lie in the sun. All in all, Fernleigh Cottage is everything we look for in a holiday property & we would look to return another time. Thank you all.
-
"Excellent cottage, well presented, good location, pub was great good food and very welcoming"
-
"We had an amazing Xmas here."
The cottage was warm, cozy and really well equipped. The Pheasnant next door was a friendly pub serving excellent food. Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Lovely people. Lovely pub next door with great food. Would definitely recommend and have done already to other family members. Thank you
-
"The property was very clean and bedrooms and communal areas were a good size."
We especially liked the outdoor seating area and the seating area in the conservatory for when the evenings got cooler. The owners of the cottage were very helpful and welcoming. It was also nice to be able to book a meal in the Pheasant Inn right next door. We would definitely recommend a stay in Fernleigh cottage.
-
"Well equipped comfortable cottage in lovely location outside Grange over Sands and close to the Lakes."
Landlord at the Pheasant next door very friendly, and their catering in the pub well worth sampling. Only downside for us was the proximity to a road which saw quite heavy traffic and was noisy in the morning's.
-
"Absolutely loved it here, within 30-45 mins drive of some many other places to explore, pub next door was lovely, would definitely return!"
-
"Very clean, bright and cosy cottage."
Everything was as described. The hosts are very welcoming. Close drive to Lake district and nice places to visit around too. The food and the atmosphere next door are amazing too. My daughter had the best macaroni cheese she's ever eaten! ( her words :)
-
"The cottage was beautifully decorated and fitted with all mod cons inc dishwasher, smart TV and jacuzzi bath."
The location was superb for touring the lakes and everyone was friendly and helpful. The only drawback was driving out of the parking area onto the main road as you could not easily see cars coming from the right, otherwise a superb vacation all round.
-
"Brilliant property, many thanks for the warm welcome and an amazing holiday."
-
"The cottage is in a fantastic location, lovely and clean with a cosy contemporary feel."
It contains everything you need for your stay (every kitchen utensil you could think of) . My only minor grumble is the the mattress is too soft for my liking and the inner hygiene duvet cover is very noisy and slippy. ( the duvet ends up in a heap at the bottom). But with that being the only thing we will return, we really enjoyed our stay . And it is a must to visit the owners pub next door, the food is amazing and the staff very friendly.
-
"Lovely cottage nicely situated for ease of getting around."
Pheasant pub next door do the best food, they have the most wonderful staff, can't recommend it highly enough, only one small thing to say is if you sre5a light sleeper I would highly advise taking earplugs
-
"Perfectly comfortable accomodation which was in an ideal position for the Lake District."
Would recommend without hesitation.
-
"Fernleigh Cottage is lovely with everything you need for your stay."
Immaculately clean and comfortable. The Pheasant Inn is lovely and the food and staff are amazing. One small thing is there is no shop within 2 miles of the cottage but it is a great base for travelling the Lake District
-
"We had a great stay."
The cottage was perfect and had everything we could possibly need (if we were forced to provide ideas for improvement we’d say maybe some cushions for the sofa and a large mirror in the bedroom for dressing). The hosts at the Pheasant Inn were friendly and helpful and the food was great. We will definitely be back to stay and have already recommended to friends.
-
"We found this cottage to be far better than we expected."
The photos of the lounge do not do it justice, there are now 2 new leather recycling sofas and the curtains have been replaced with modern blinds. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean and was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The Pheasant pub was very welcoming and served delicious food. We parked next to the cottage which was fine for us as we only have a small car however on arrival we were told we were welcome to park in the pub car park if we preferred but we didn't need to. Good location for exploring the Lake District. Had a great week.
-
"The listing didn't say how poor the off-road parking arrangement was."
Very awkward to turn out of the drive because of very busy main road and unable to see both ways properly.Also the driveway was scruffy.We finished up parking in the pub car park. Cleanliness inside the property was wanting - particular attention needs to paid to corners of rooms and behind furniture. The glass tv stand was also in need of a good polish. All generally in need of a deep clean. Loose plug socket in the lounge. On the plus side the bathroom was superb and the pub around the corner gave excellent food and service.
-
"Fernleigh met all of our expectations."
In a lovely location ideal for exploring and close to Grange-over-sands and Cartmel. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We had a small problem when we first arrived and the owners were very quick to resolve it. Parking was limited by the side of the cottage especially if you have a bigger car but there was no problem in us being able to park at the pub next door which served lovely food and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to returning soon!
-
"Charlotte was very welcoming and as is only next door at the pub is contactable at any time."
The cottage was immaculately clean, extremely well stocked with anything you could possibly need. There was also a welcome bottle of wine! There are tvs, dvds games books etc, a folder of local info, quality towels and bedding. The bathroom is large and the walk in shower is great! The cottage is exactly as described and pictured and we enjoyed our stay very much. The pub is great, food very good, staff excellent! I would recommend it and stay again if I was in the area.
-
"Lovely accomodation, spotless with some luxuries of a spa bath, electric sofas and TVs in bedrooms."
Bottle of wine on arrival was lovely too. Nice location as easy to access lots in local area. Had a very relaxing stay.
-
"The cottage was a perfect base for our travels and was a homely comfortable atmosphere to return too each day."
Warm, well appointed and an enjoyable quaint cottage - clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches to make the place feel home for a few days ... and an encouragement to return!
-
"Lovely cottage very clean and cosy."
With a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome. We stayed for four nights and had a lovely meal at the Phesent pub next door.
-
"Great little property to use as a base and explore the area - Humphrey head is a lovely walk just down the road."
Owners were fantastic and the local pub food very very good. Highly recommend this cottage the only thing that would’ve made it better would’ve been if one of the beds had been 2 singles.
-
"Not only was the cottage immaculately clean it was extremely well equipped and very warm and cosy."
The owners Charlotte and Gavin made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They also own the pub next door, The Pheasant, which serves fabulous food. All the friendly staff and customers embraced us as though we had been locals for years. All-in-all we can't praise the cottage and the owners enough and will certainly be going back - fantastic!
-
"The cottage itself was great except that the outside space was not nearly as big as depicted on the site."
The owners and staff in the Pheasant were friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent, so good that we ate there 5 out of our 7 night stay. The only downside was that there was nowhere close by the cottage to allow our 2 dogs to run free, however they were quite content to relax with us in the cottage on the (many) wet days.
-
"Traffic noise excessive to near a main road"
-
"The couple next door was very friendly ,the outside area was small although secure."
The cottage is very nicely furnished and decorated .
-
"The cottage was very comfortable with nice large rooms."
The parking might be a concern for some, having to reverse into the drive and maneuver close to wall/garage. The bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch. The pub next door but one is very nice and the meals are very well portioned. The cottage is ideally situated for the southern part of the lakes. we enjoyed our stay and would recommend without hesitation.
-
"The cottage as fittings to a high spec."
My Wife and Daughter loved the Jacuzzi bath, and the shower is hot and powerful.There are PS3 games to keep the kids happy and books and games to keep you going if you don't fancy going out.One major plus is the pub next door with friendly locals and good food plus a quiz on Thursday night.

"Fantastic cottage great pub"
-
"Found me a perfect cottage at very short notice that also matched a list of extra requirements!"
-
"A great base for the Lake District."
Cottage very comfortable and well appointed.
-
"On arrival the owner of the property showed us around and mentioned about the next door neighbour complainig about parking and dogs barking."
The following evening the said neighbour asked me to keep my dogs quite she had cats. i felt upset and horrified as this cottage is advertised pet friendly . We have stayed in many cottages and never been made to feel like we were treading on egg shells . Sherry an Angel only make a noise when being fed or distressed . As we couldn't relax and do normal activities with the dogs in case of any noise we cut our holiday short. We feel other dog owners need to be aware of this and can not recommend this cottage as dog friendly.
-
"The cottage was well equipped, lovely furnished and owners very helpful, would recommend and stay there again"
-
"A fantastic cottage, very clean, great facilities."
We had a lovely stay. The owners were welcoming and helpful. The pub next door is great. Serves lovely food too and welcoming to dogs and children. We would highly recommend this property.
-
"A delightful cottage, very well-equipped."
Our hosts were friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend the food in the Pheasant Inn - the mussels were the best I've ever had and the game casserole is not to be missed.
