• "This cosy cottage is superbly designed to provide every convenience you need."

  The living room has a beautiful view of the hills, immensely comfortable sofas and a wood burning stove to warm those tired legs after a day out walking. A small conservatory with two comfortable wicker chairs provides another option for contemplating the view. The eat-in kitchen is cleverly laid out and has ample frig and freezer space, a superb induction range and includes every helpful item you might need. The bedrooms and bathroom are equally lovely. We really enjoyed being able to walk out the door and head to a number of superb walks--Helvellyn, Howtown-to-Glenridding, Aira Force--without having to get in the car and drive anywhere. Glenridding itself is quiet and picturesque but has plenty of restaurants and a great Mini Market with a wide variety of food and drink options.

• "Fellview is wonderful."

  It was our second stay there. The situation is above the village, with amazing views and a delightful sun lobby and terrace where they can be enjoyed. The lounge has 2 comfy sofas and an easy log burner. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed comfy, the shower is good too. Loads of walks locally , you are spoiled for choice ! Fellview is warm, comfy and a brilliant place to stay.

• "Absolutely brilliant but the checking out time at 9am didnt work well for us as we had to rush out without having breakfast especially starting on a long journey."

  The period between check in at 4pm and check out at 9am will require some consideration.

  ! Absolutely beautiful setting. A very comfortable cottage with nearly everything we needed. We stayed last year and I’d set myself a reminder to take an adapter plug so we could charge razor and toothbrush (no shaving point) and some oven gloves!! Other than that, it was perfect in every way.

• "Fellview was extremely comfortable, well equipped and ideally positioned for walks up and around Helvellyn from your front door."

  The morning views across the valley were spectacular, and it was very easy to sit in the conservatory or on the patio and watch the scenery and the many walkers hiking up the fells. We actually thought the property description undersold it - it was better than our high expectations and we plan on returning.

• "The cottage was perfect for us."

  It was well-equipped with everything we needed. Extremely clean and comfortable. A lovely little space with a couple of chairs overlooking the fells behind the cottage. The views were stunning. We went for our short stay with the sole intention of walking the "Ullswater Way" which is a lovely wander of around 24 miles around the lake. We did it in daily sections which involved catching the steamer, sailing on the lake and then walking back to Glenridding. Be aware that the situation of the cottage will , if you're walking to the steamer pier, add at least another mile on to your walk and that it is uphill when coming "home"! We loved our stay here, very relaxed, and enjoyed a welcome pint at the Travellers Rest on the way back after our walk.

• "Fellview is a beautiful, comfortable cottage in an ideal location for both the Eastern Lakes but also easy access to other areas."

  The walks directly from Glenridding are fantastic. The facilities in the village are perfect for essentials. The cottage is well equipped, the beds were really comfortable. The only criticism I have is that the bush in the front garden blocks the amazing view out the lounge window. We will definitely be rebooking, as due to Storm Kathleen and the huge amount of rain, we have unfinished business with helvellyn and Place Fell.

  As keen walkers the location at the foot of Helvellyn and many other routes is great. Good pub nearby and close to local shops and lake. The cottage has everything you could need - modern kitchen, small conservatory and real fire. Very clean and well looked after. Recommended.

• "Thank you for a very well equipped, clean and superbly located cottage."

  The rooms were very comfortable and of a generous size. The beds were comfortable and the toilets, shower, bath, etc. were excellent. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention the view from the patio and conservatory. Superb. We could spend a day just enjoying it. Any guests with a second car would have no trouble parking in the layby 50 yards down the road. Just two nit picks : although the wardrobes were well equipped with clothes hangers for shirts, tops, etc., none were available for trousers; and the conservatory was only big enough for two people to sit and enjoy the view.

• "What a lovely property - what a lovely view."

  Great kitchen, well equipped, with a super range cooker. There are two very comfy sofas in the lounge and the tv is a good size with decent signal, which can be tricky in the lakes. And the little sun terrace with sun lobby , facing South, was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the view. We only used the first floor as there was only two of us, but the bed was extremely comfortable, the bedroom spacious and with plenty of storage, The bathroom with spacious too and the shower was excellent. You can enjoy plenty of walking locally and Glenridding is a lovely place to be. The pub down the road serves excellent beer and the Inn on the Lake is a useful place to eat, the café in the village is good too. Thank you, Fellview,, we have already booked to go back again next year.

  Several popular walks which can be started from the doorstep. Glenridding village and Ulswater also within easy walking distance. Great view of the valley and mountains from the conservatory. Very comfortable lounge with log burner, bluetooth music player and stretch out couches - perfect for the long winter evenings we spent there. Thoughtful Christmas tree, mince pies and prosecco left by the host were a treat! Highly recommended.

  Perhaps a little more in the way of kitchen utensils e.g. 1-2 pint Pyrex jug, fish slice, spatulas but that is nit-picking. We like to heat milk in the microwave for porridge , coffee etc and it's more economical than using the hob. Thank you for a lovely break.

Great position for walking and local pub. Would be happy to return but policy has now changed and dogs are not allowed which rules us out.

• "Cosy cottage in lovely location but a few improvements need to be made."

  No dryer as suggested in other reviews - may not be an issue for some but when walking and especially with a child it would make a big difference. Some other basic things not available including oven gloves (requests guests to bring own - never come across this before), and no high chair. The main thing that we felt let down by was the cleanliness - dog hair everywhere on sofas and carpet when we arrived which makes it hard to see the need for an early 9am check out time for cleaning.

  I’m sorry that you had some issues. We clean each time to a high standard and take this very seriously. I didn’t get any request for a high chair but I could have sorted this out for you if you had contacted me. I hope this didn’t spoil your holiday. Property Owner

• "The cottage was excellent - in a really good location for walks from the front door."

  Plenty of space over 3 floors and well equipped. Central heating and a wood burner which kept it nice and warm. It was really good value for money and had all that we needed for a good holiday - we were sad to come home. Both local village shops sold decent supplies such as wood for the fire, baked goods etc at a reasonable price. We had a power cut during our stay, good communications from owner, it was due to large storms which hit area during the week. A few things to consider: - There was a lot of dog hair on the carpets despite it being hoovered. We don't own a dog, but if one of the party had an allergy it would be problematic. A new hoover could improve this. Our clothes picked up the dog hair. - 1 extra big pan for the kitchen would be handy - we cooked all our meals and found there wasn't a pan big enough for larger meals. - A note about the stream culvert outside should be left for guests - it was overflowing due to heavy rain and we unblocked the drain of debris which was covering it and stopping it draining, worth guests knowing to do this in bad weather. - As others have mentioned shifting things around in the cupboards to make room for storage of food items. A deep clean of drawers as crumbs etc in them.

  ..ideal winter base for walking and jogging with the family and the dog. That was our third visit and we hope to return. Minor gripes: lock mechanism on the door of the upstairs toilet is loose and falls off if not used with care; the dustbin was full and not emptied on the Monday or during our stay so we left our bag in the porch; also hard to avoid the pothole in the concrete when you turned steeply into the terrace...could be easily filled in!

• "Very well maintained and comfortable home."

  A review mentioned poor quality linen however none of us had a complaint, our stay was very cosy. The furnishings were very nice, the oven in particular was very posh and a novelty to use, though it would have been good to have some cupboard space for food storage as we had to just leave food on the counter. The few issues were very minor, the rotary light switch in the kitchen buzzes when switched on (perhaps faulty wiring?) and many of the lightbulbs around the house are bright white LEDs. I like to see energy efficiency being considered, and I believe replacing side lamps in the lounge/bedrooms with warmer/orange LEDs bulbs would make the rooms look warmer in the evenings. In cottages similar to this I often find dvds/books/maps left for visitors which is a nice token but not something I walk in expecting. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

  Thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Please be assured that the electrics have been fully assured by the electrician. We removed the books, games due to COVID as directed by Sykes but have made Sky channels available. Property Owner

  The property, however, would have benefited from a few additions. An outside light to the rear, instructions on how to open the keypad, more equipment in kitchen such as serving spoon, trays, kitchen towel, surface cleaners etc. The pillows were far too flat for my liking and the bedding, sheets etc were basic. A visitor book would have enabled me to leave this feedback, we could not find one. All the above are easy fixes and we would be happy to stay again if these things are corrected.
