April 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The facilities were excellent and the beds very comfortable. The plumbing left a little to be desired, but we coped.

The facilities were excellent and the beds very comfortable. The plumbing left a little to be desired, but we coped. When we were cleaning on the last day, the vacuum cleaner had an awful 'doggy' smell. By the time we'd finished vaccing, the house smelt terrible. Our dog is clean and does not smell, so it was a bit of a shock to use the vac. I think it could do with a service!

David April 2022

“Excellent cottage in a quiet area with all the facilities we needed for a very comfortable stay for the two of us and our dog.”

- David, April 2022
Stephanie April 2022

“Had a wonderful time- it was so relaxing.”

The cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped (the bath was an absolute treat!). 10 minute walk down to Arnside beach, and lots of lovely walks so you wouldn't need to leave the area (which is very beautiful and not too busy).

- Stephanie, April 2022
Tony March 2022

“A nice well equipped property in a quite location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here”

- Tony, March 2022
Michael March 2022

“An excellent holiday cottage on the side of Arnside Knott.”

Very comfortable and well equipped. Just a 15 minute stroll to and from the village which is very pretty with two pubs, two general stores, etc. The village is on the River Kent estuary and there are breathtaking views over it across to the Lake District. Plenty of walking opportunities and you can easily enjoy a week here without going out of area. It's that good.

- Michael, March 2022
Denise January 2022

“We had a lovely week at Fox Cottage, it’s a very cosy and comfy cottage and in a really good spot, close enough to walk to the pubs in Arnside.”

Mary, the owner was happy to answer any queries we had and we would definitely stay here again.

- Denise, January 2022
Angela November 2021

“Thank you for a lovely cosy, comfortable and relaxing stay, with wonderful views of the snow on the hills from the bedroom window!”

We loved the feel of the whole cottage, the art, furnishings and modern, clean bathroom and kitchen (once we found the 'hidden' drawer with the pans!) Great shower and comfy bed, sitting in front of the log burner and great walks from the door - perfect! It's not far to the shops, pubs and cafes on Arnside promenade and a stroll a bit further to the Beach Hut for coffee and cake takeaway. We didn't use the car at all, it stayed in the parking space outside! We look forward to returning, perhaps when the days are longer and better for exploring, and to make use of the patio!

- Angela, November 2021
Peter November 2021

“The cottage was lovely, clean, warm,we felt comfortable immediately, owner great to deal with, very amenable, would go back again.”

- Peter, November 2021
Frances October 2021

“A lovely quiet terrace house in a quiet part of town, albeit up a steepish hill.”

We'll presented, very clean. Pretty much everything you need. A dvd player would have been handy. Nice and warm, very cosy. Good patio area for a rest and when it's dark you can get a good look at the stars. Plenty of birds to watch in the trees. A good base to explore Morecambe Bay. 15 minutes from the train station, 10 minutes to the Albion and the bay. Handy well stocked shop nearby. Mary, the owner, is very helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

- Frances, October 2021
Nigel October 2021

“Very cosy and comfortable cottage.”

Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Shower was amazing as was the comfy bed and good Wi-Fi. Arnside is small with a good pub (the Albion) and the best Fish and shop we have ever been too. Supermarkets within easy reach and lovely walks beside the estuary. We hope to come back next year if we can.

- Nigel, October 2021

Glen July 2021

“The cottage is a little Gem.”

Everything you could possibly need is there. Lovely bedding and towels and kitchen with all the utensils. It is close to lots of things to do also. This was our second visit and we will be back!

- Glen, July 2021
Brian July 2021

Sarah October 2020

“Fox Cottage was a real treat, much more than a home from home with a blissful bathroom and beautiful decor and art on the walls.”

- Sarah, October 2020
Karen October 2020

“The house was so clean, comfortable and welcoming.”

Mary, the owner gave us lots of information before our visit and assured us she was on hand if needed (we didn't).We felt safe in these difficult times and enjoyed being able to some time out. Arnside was beautiful as always, it was so good to be able to walk everyday from the door, exploring the coast path and woods.

- Karen, October 2020
Amanda August 2020

“Fox Cottage is a beautiful home, with all the home comforts you need.”

This was a beautiful cottage credit to the owner was unable to leave her feedback as at last minute before leaving realising didn’t have a pen very well equipped and clean home from home we loved it lovely area aswell with plenty to do and lovely pubs to eat at lovely walks and near by places to see

- Lynn, August 2019
Wendy July 2019

“Lovely cottage, nice walk down to the bay.”

Arnside is a beautiful area for walking, either strolling or serious walking. There are two very good pubs which do food and allow you to take dogs in. There is also the best chip shop ever! Even if there is a queue it is well worth the wait.

- Wendy, July 2019
Ann-marie July 2019

- Ann-marie, July 2019

Robin March 2019

“Cottage was completely as shown and very well equipped.”

It was just perfect for us - we walked everyday from the door in the beautiful local area - the car was only needed for a trip to Booths! We were comfortable and cosy! Highly recommended!

- Robin, March 2019
Bridget February 2019

“The cottage is lovely but located on a steep hill above the village.”

For any person who has possible mobility or health/age related issues the hill would be problematic.

- Bridget, February 2019
Debbie October 2018

“Fabulous, welcoming home from home.”

We had everything we needed, and the house made us feel at home upon entry. A great base for staying local or exploring farther afield. Extremely quiet location.

- Debbie, October 2018
Jacqueline September 2018

“The cottage was lovely,.”

The owner has thought of everything. But as I booked the wrong date and rang Sykes within minutes the company still charged an administrative fee, not helpful.

- Jacqueline, September 2018

“For a dog friendly cottage it was very well appointed,good position for walking from the front door.”

Also parking right outside.The only problem for us was fox cottage was quite a way from the front,its ok walking down to town but a hell of slog getting back up.We try not to use the car after we arrive so walking is the way for us.Other than that we had lovely holiday in a great cottage.

- Paul, March 2018

About the location

ARNSIDE

Kendal 10 miles; Windermere 17 miles.

Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the village offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary, as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the village are the 15th century Pele Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
