Bishop Fell

It’s a beautiful house with lovely furnishings.

Very comfortable beds and plenty of seating. Owner very welcoming and informative. We will be back!

**An Absolute Gem – The Perfect Getaway!

** We have just returned home from an absolutely wonderful holiday at Bishop Fell, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. It truly was the ideal getaway for our family. The property itself is incredibly spacious and comfortable, allowing us all to completely relax from the moment we walked through the door. It is also exceptionally well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stress-free stay—the owners have really thought of every single detail to make it feel like a home away from home. A massive bonus for us was the lovely little park located right next door to the property. It was safe, convenient, and kept the kids entertained for hours on end, which made our stay even more relaxing. On top of the fantastic property, the owners were absolutely wonderful. They were so welcoming, helpful, and attentive, making us feel completely valued as guests. Thank you for a beautiful stay. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be looking to return!

We had a wonderful stay at Bishop Fell and could not recommend it more.

The views are beautiful, it is very quiet and peaceful with walks from the front doorstep. We all enjoyed our mornings having coffee at the outdoor table, in the sunshine, looking at the view whilst deciding where the day would take us. The house is perfect, very spacious and very clean!

Beautiful house, loved the attention to detail.

Very spacious throughout but 2nd floor bedrooms were amazing in size, decor and facilities. Host Jane very welcoming on arrival and the use of local health club was great, we used the pool one day as weather was very wet. Good location for visiting surrounding area and we hope to return in the future.

This is a fabulous house, very luxurious with everything you could need.

It looks exactly like the photos if not better! We were a family of three generations and it was an ideal property for us all. The garden is three tiers therefore a little challenging for those with mobility issues but this does not detract from the property at all. Jane was fantastic and happy to be contacted if any issues…there were none as everything was perfect. There was a lovely basket of goodies and milk for us on arrival. Jane sent a message with with places to eat etc prior to our arrival which was a great help. E we were ideally situated for both Ulverston and Windermere. I would 100% recommend this property.

A magical Christmas stay!

We stayed at Bishop Fell to bring the family together over the Christmas week and proved to be a huge success with lots of memories made. The house was extremely comfortable and furnished to a high quality. The house was always cosy and warm and we appreciated personal check-in from Jane, welcome hamper and Christmas decorations. The kitchen had everything you needed, including two ovens, two fridges and all Le Creuset cookware and crockery. Beds were comfortable and always provided a good night sleep and sofa large enough for everyone to sit together. The house was in a great location for exploring the Lakes, we used the complimentary leisure access at the whitewater hotel to take the little one swimming, the play park next door and walks from the village and slightly further afield (West Windermere Way). All the family said they'd return again for a future stay.

Thank you so much to Jane (owner) who helped us with every single thing we ever needed.

Such great hospitality. Such a great property with everything you could possibly need! A home away from home! 5 stars

Our weeks stay in October 2025 with three generations of family was ideal.

House is fabulous with every amenity. Location stunning. Thanks to our hosts for being friendly and welcoming. Gave us ideas for places to visit. Lovely part of the world. ❤️❤️

This is a fantastic property, it is beautifully decorated, it's clean and comfortable, it has everything you need and the property owner Jane is very kind and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday cottage in the Lake District.

The house was absolutely lovely — clean, tastefully decorated, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Jane, our host, — was welcoming, helpful, and thoughtful throughout our stay. It really made all the difference and added a personal touch that we truly appreciated. The location was stunning, and the cottage was the ideal base for exploring the area. We felt right at home and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be staying again — highly recommended!

Second stay here and just as fabulous.

We love this house and everything that is provided in it. Great location near the bottom part of lake Windermere but easy to get around by car. Jane is a fantastic host and thoughtful with the gifts on arrival. Love the new sofa Jane. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house. Can highly recommend booking a stay here. x

Thank you to the property owner for being so friendly and informative.

The gifts in our fridge on arrival were a lovely surprise. We had a wonderful week at Bishop Fell. The accommodation was fantastic and met all our needs. Our two older teenagers especially liked the two upstairs bedrooms !! Great location, well worth a visit. Information supplied about surrounding areas and eateries was very much appreciated. Thank you again. Vicki x

The cottages was fantastic had everything you could want for a comfortable stay.

Jane was a welcoming host. The location and views were lovely. Great area with lots to do. Hope to go back again soon!

We had the best week in the Lake District weather wise.

2 adults and 3 kids. Bishop Fell is by far the best Sykes property we have ever stayed in. We usually take various kitchen items with us just in case but never needed to use them, the house just has everything you would need. Beds were super comfy and the showers were all great. The decor and views were all amazing. Jayne (Owner) was lovely and runs a B&B close by. Great walks on the fells behind, close to Windermere and Kendal and the supermarkets in Ulverston. This property is highly recommended by us.

Lovely property, well decorated and clean.

Host is amazing and great for a large family.

We had a lovely week in Bishop Fell, it is well equipped, is in a nice location, and has amazing bedrooms and bathrooms and is the best holiday house/cottage I have stayed at.

We had a wonderful stay at this property.

Everything was spotlessly clean and very high end quality. The owner was nearby if needed and easy to contact. The property was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. We were there as a family of 7, aged 21 - 87. A grab rail near the toilet and inside the shower would have been really helpful for my parents, and we found to hot water to be too hot but apart from that everything was perfect. It was a wonderful stay.

This is a wonderful property, we couldn't fault it, it was spacious, the decor is a really high spec, the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom is so lovely.

Bishop's Fell is a beautiful property with a stunning primary bedroom and bathroom and lovely views from the top floor bedrooms.

Jane was very welcoming and friendly host. We found the property to be an excellent base for all our daily activities. It was also very reassuring that shoes were to be kept at the front door. It definitely reflected how clean the property was throughout. We had a very enjoyable stay and the property was fantastic for us as a family.

Bishop Fell what a beautiful luxury holiday home, a fabulous find in a fabulous location a true gem.

Jane and Angus the owners what a lovely couple, they have thought of everything you could ask for. The full house was immaculately clean and had everything you needed to have a wonderful stay. The interior design in the house was lovely and well thought out. A beautiful garden with lovely seating zones to enjoy the scenery and even a fir pit what more could you ask for. There is so much to see and do in the area. What a lovely relaxing holiday we had and didn't want to leave. So looking forward to booking with you again. Thank you Jane and Angus

Absolutely fantastic stay at Bishop Fell.

Everything is top quality and provided for you. For us, this was 5 star standard. The views are stunning and the location enables easy access to all areas. Do not hesitate booking your stay here. Thank you so much Jane for a memorable stay.

A great holiday home, spacious and well equipped, and in a lovely location.

There were seven of us and we didn't feel crowded at all. Plenty of outdoor seating and all the facilities you could need. We had a lovely time, would definitely book this home again.

Beautiful house beautiful location could not fault anything and will definitely return and recommend to family and friends

The property was in superb condition, location excellent, the facilities were in very good order and very clean.

The kitchen was particularly well equipped, quality was excellent, and provision of kitchenware was more than adequate for 8 persons. The host was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend the property; one of the best we have stayed in from Sykes.

Amazing house, with outstanding views.

Great garden with two lovely tiered terraces for alfresco dining and drinks. Everything you could want for a holiday let.. Good location close to the south end of Windermere. The owner was very welcoming. Our family had a great stay…

Loved our stay at Bishops Fell the house was fabulous.

Great location. Jane was a great host. I would definitely stay there again.

Luxurious finish in all aspects of house.

Owner provided sometimes overlooked items such as cling film, tin foil, cooking oil etc. enough for a weekly vacation. Much appreciated. The property was spotless throughout and equipped with every utensil you would use at home.

Beautiful, lovely home.

Warm and clean. Amazing owner. We have booked for 7 people and everyone had a great, memorable stay. :)

We had a lovely weekend here, the house is beautiful and clean, and the hosts were very nice and helpful.

Would highly recommend.

October stay, 3 couples.

Lovely property, finished to a very high standard. Comfy rooms, great location for the lake District. Loads of extra helpful local information provided by the owner. Great communication with the host. Perfect stay. A+

This property was beyond our expectations, it is of a very high standard, very comfortable & is very well equipped, we looked forward to returning here each day after a day out.

It is conveniently located fir the Southern & Mid Lake District & surrounding areas. The host Jane was very welcoming & friendly. We all had a highly enjoyable stay here & would absolutely stay here again! 5 star!

We had a fabulous week at Bishop Fell which exceeded all expectations.

We were welcomed by Jane, the owner and were impressed by the standard of cleanliness and decor. The location is perfect and the views from the house really stunning. We would definitely recommend Bishop Fell to anyone who is looking for 5 star comfort and look forward to visiting again in the future.

What a fabulous property.

Wonderful location, fantastic views from the garden. Fully equipped kitchen has all those little extras normally forgotten. Highly recommend this beautifully presented home. Host is fabulously helpful nothing too much trouble. Provided some little treats for my birthday which was a lovely touch.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

! Beautiful house and garden, it's really comfortable, clean and cosy. Thank you Jane for taking care of us all the time and making sure we are enjoying the holiday. Yehuda

The property was superbly presented and far exceeded our expectations.

It is ideally located for exploring the Southern Lakes and Peninsula areas. The owner was very welcoming and we very much enjoyed our stay despite the rain!

Beautiful place and perfect location for visiting the lake District.

Had an amazing time with the family. Jane was very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely come back.

Fabulous house, pretty much everything you could need to self cater is provided.

House was really clean & very comfortable.

It is quite obvious that the owner takes a real pride in this property.

We were warmly greeted and made to feel very welcome. We have used Sykes for 15 plus years and have stayed in some very nice properties, but this one beats them all.Everything is of a very high standard and kept clean and well maintained.We all had a great stay here, many thanks.

Absolutely fabulous holiday in a beautiful house!

Bishop Fell is a home from home with top rate decor and appliances. Jane was very friendly and genuinely interested in how your holiday went, Jane also accommodated us with an extra early check in. The welcome pack and flowers were a lovely thought. Please take bad reviews with a pinch of salt, we had no issues whatsoever apart from an over sensitive heat alarm in the kitchen which went off a couple of times when using the oven and grill.

Beautiful house in a stunning location, very well equipped and decorated to a very high standard would definitely recommend.

Host was very welcoming and as they live close by if you had any problems they were on hand to help you.

Upon arrival we were welcomed at the property by the homeowner, Jane.

Myself and party were talked through the basics of how to operate the kitchen appliances, heating etc. A general pleasant chat. There were seven of us. Firstly, May I say the property is gorgeous, fitted out to a high standard, beautiful furnishings and fabulous layout with the open plan kitchen/ lounge. There is a separate lounge, we called it the snug, on the first floor, with tv. Great chill out zone. Although not exactly in the centre of local amenities, it was perfect for our group. A short drive to the usual places, Grasmere and Bowness on Windermere. There is plenty of information, leaflets, etc on the hallway table for anyone not familiar with the Lake District. In truth I cannot fault the accommodation, we had a fabulous weekend made better by the luxurious surroundings. The garden whilst on a tiered design, again is great with plenty of seating on all tiers. With the perfect weather we endured it was lovely relaxing , enjoying a glass or two of wine. Jane, the homeowner, lives close by which personally I found a bonus and definitely not intrusive. The personal touches and gifts Jane brought us, again are examples of going that little bit further. (I won’t spoil the surprise) All in all I would give this property five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely no negative feedback whatsoever.. Thank you Jane, we had a wonderful time in your beautiful home.

Cumbria is one of the most beautiful places in England, Bishop Fell is the perfect place to stay to compliment the natural surroundings!

! It is a truly beautiful house, everything is of a very high quality and attention to detail is second to none. If you do have to stay in because of weather ( we had one day of very heavy rain) it is actually a bonus as you are in such a lovely home Jane who owns the property is there to welcome you, and as she lives so close you have a much more personal experience . It really is the perfect place to stay!!

We had a great stay at Bishop Fell.

It is in a good location relative to the sights and attractions of the Lake District, and the nearest supermarkets are a relatively short drive away. The house itself was decorated to a high standard and had all of the amenities that we needed (including a cot and highchair for our youngest son). The only slight problem we found (and this is a personal preference) is that the bed in the master room was a little on the firm side. Aside from this, we found the house very comfortable.

On arrival we received a warm welcome from Jane, the owner of Bishop Fell.

The house is beautifully presented and very well equipped with quality kitchenware and furnishings throughout the house. The layout of the house is great with plenty of space for our 3 families. The house is very cozy and is spotlessly clean throughout. The bathrooms and en-suite are exceptional and of a very high spec. The garden is on 3 levels and cleverly designed with seating on each level and we enjoyed eating outside despite it being October! Jane has even provided blankets to use outside! A picnic set of plastic plates/cups/glasses would be a great addition for families eating in the garden - especially for children. Next to the house is a small well equipped park which our grandchildren (6 & 9 yrs) enjoyed several times a day. It is a real bonus as the children can easily be supervised from the house. The property is in a lovey village and a great location for exploring the Lake District. The many walks from the house are enhanced by the option of visiting Cafe Ambio en route! We would thoroughly recommend this property. Jane lives nearby and although we didn’t need to, we felt confident that she would respond promptly to any issues arising during our stay. We appreciated the opportunity to talk personally again with Jane on the morning of our departure.

Beautiful, luxurious high spec property.

Very well equipped and in a lovely location. Jane was very welcoming - the Prosecco was a lovely touch. Lots to do in the area as well. Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful accommodation, a real home from home with top of the range kitchen equipment.

We were in the master bedroom, with the wonderful en-suite, everyone had their own bathroom, as we only used 3 bedrooms. We enjoyed that two bedrooms had a sitting area, allowing us to relax with privacy when wanted. The garden is cleverly designed, with seats on each tier, which we enjoyed when the weather allowed. The drawbacks for me were: 1) no key-safe, despite making a firm arrival time of 4.30, confirming this by text at 4pm, texting when we pulled onto the drive at 4.23, we had to wait until 4.45 for Jane to let us in. We had a similar wait on the day of departure. I book cottages 4 or 5 times a year and have never had to wait to check in or out. 2) There was no fuel for the log burner (Sykes state it is supplied). Jane's initial response was that we wouldn't need it, as it is a warm cottage and people generally don't know how to use it. I only book cottages with log burners, we can't have one at home, so it is an important part of our holiday. To be fair, Jane put this right the following day and we then enjoyed a fire each evening. 3) There was no visitor's book, this is a first for me and a real shame, as I like to read what previous visitors have done, they can be informative. 4) Although the kitchenware is impressive, there were a couple of chipped plates, bowl and a cracked glass, which I flagged up as I didn't want to be charged for them. Overall, I would highly recommend this cottage. The owner is lovely, I just think the checking in and out experience needs to be modernised.

We had a lovely stay, the beds were harder than we are used to but everyone is different.

The only thing we would say it would be handy to have two front door keys, as we were six adults in different cars so if we went out it caused a bit of a problem, we had to take front and back door keys with us.

A beautiful property in a fantastic location.

The property was perfect for our family stay, plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The property is very modern and finished to a high standard. The bathrooms are particularly of a high standard and very clean too. We particularly liked the extra sitting room upstairs which gave us all extra space and a place for the kids to play. The gardens are also amazing with far reaching views over the hills, however it is deceptively steep so young children need to be supervised. The park to the side of the property also helped to keep the kids entertained. The location was perfect for us, 20 minute drive to Bowness, close to the zoo, and we took the steam train from Haverthwaite to Windermere where there is an aquarium and ferry which goes from Lakeside to Bowness and then to Ambleside. I would definitely recommend the property to anybody looking for a comfortable stay in a very good location.

The house and gardens were very comfortable and well-equipped.

The house is also close to Booths supermarket and was easy to find. The driveway is also more than spacious enough for 4 large cars. We had glorious weather, so really appreciated the gardens and the high quality seating options outside, as well as the stunning views. The bathrooms were particularly lovely and very luxurious. There is a fire pit outside which we also used most nights which was a lovely touch. I would mention that the kitchen is a little small and difficult to navigate for lots of adults (there were 7 of us), although the owner had equipped the kitchen with lovely Le Creuset crockery and cookware and we had everything we needed in there. The main reason I didnt give it 5* was that we had quite a lot of contact from the owner, who wanted to meet us at the property as there was no key box (although there was one advertised on Sykes), and then tried to arrange to meet us again the next morning, and tried to arrange to come and cut the grass and water the plants throughout the week whilst we were there, as well as wanting to meet us on departure rather than allowing us to post the keys through the letterbox. Although we understand that some owners want to meet the guests upon arrival, and the owner was friendly, we found the constant requests to come round during our stay quite intrusive and had not experienced that in another Lake District property before.

This is a fantastic house with every comfort inside and out.

We had a marvellous time due to having great accommodation

Bishops Fell is a stunning property in a great location for visiting The Lake District.

The property is of a high standard with quality equipment in the kitchen. The bedrooms were all beautifully furnished and again featured high quality bedding and towels. The bathrooms and en-suite were also of a high standard. We cannot thank the owner enough for renting this beautiful home.

This is a great house decorated tastefully throughout and with top quality fixtures and fittings.

Even the garden had tables and chairs on three levels to catch the sun at different parts of the day and blankets provided in case it was chilly. So much to do in this area we enjoyed a boat trip, steam train, the motor museum was great, ate at Some great pubs and restaurants but a car is essential here.

What a stunning house to spend a week in the beautiful Lake District.

Very high spec, comfortable property with everything you could possibly need and in a lovely location for visiting the south lakes. The owner, Jane, was really friendly and very helpful. Perfect stay, 10/10

Bishop Fell is stunning!

The attention to detail and the beautiful furnishings from the lounge area, the bedrooms to the bathrooms have been chosen with care. The kitchen is well equipped and accommodated all 8 of us around the dining table. We had plenty of space to relax. The children enjoyed the little play park next to the property. Staying in such a lovely property really was the icing on the cake of our family weekend away and we all want to return next spring.

We have just had a fabulous week at Bishop Fell.

There were seven of us (3 couples + 2 yr old grandson). The property was amazing - the luxury of each couple having their own bathroom was lovely. Bishop Fell is fitted out to a very high spec, even down to the crockery and pans etc which are all Le Creuset! Our host Jane was lovely and presented us with a nice basket of goodies on our arrival. The property is only 10 mins drive from local supermarkets and is ideally placed for exploring the southern lakes, and Windermere, Bowness, Hawkshead etc. We had a day at the South Lakes Safari Zoo at Ulverston which we highly recommend and its only a 30 min drive away. All in all we had a great week and cannot recommend Bishop Fell highly enough.

Great location with excellent walks and activities close by and others within easy access of a short drive.

House itself is outstanding. Beautiful design and decor throughout and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our party included 8 older and younger adults and we were all comfortably able to socialize and have our own space. Jane the host was very helpful and knowledgeable. All combine to make a highly recommended holiday home and location.

The cottage was beyond our expectations.

It was clean and fresh. Very modern but also comfortable. Seven of us were there and we still had loads of room due to the careful design of the house which gives plenty of breakout space. Lovely garden so we were able to sit in the sunshine and look at the views, occasionally hearing the Haverthwaite train and it’s gentle rising steam through the trees. Marvellous!

Just that the mattress in the master bedroom was hard.

Could do with a slightly softer one..otherwise everything about the house and location was brilliant. Jane was very friendly and helpful as our host.

Excellent property in an excellent location with woodland walks on the local footpaths, short drives to the dunes at Roanhead and Haverigg, and options of routes into the central lakes that avoid the often horrific Windermere-Ambleside crush.

The owners live nearby, were very helpful and have paid attention to detail in making the property comfortable, relaxing and functional. As a family of four we couldn't fault it.

If going back to the Lake District I most likely wouldn't stay in this area.

However we had a great time. Cottage was outstanding exceptionally clean high standard of home furnishings. Beatrix Potter & Brockhole fantastic for kids. Definitely visit again.

Bishop fell is an amazing property furnished and equipped to a very high standard there is absolutely everything you need for your stay.

The owner jane is very accommodating and a really lovely person to deal with and talk to all in all a wonderful place to stay and we will be definitely be booking again

Wow!

We have just returned home after having an amazing week at Bishop Fell... the house is absolutely stunning with the most incredible fixtures and fittings.. the decor throughout is beautiful and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything at the highest quality. Jane the host greeted us on arrival and provided us with a welcome hamper which was lovely ! The house is situated in a great location in the lakes for exploring, we enjoyed many walks as well as visiting Coniston, Ulverston, Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside all within driving distance. We will certainly return in the future to this amazing property and will definitely recommend this wonderful place to friends and family.

Stayed at Bishop Fell for a week in August 2020.

It is a lovely, modern house decorated beautifully throughout. The bedrooms were spacious and there was plenty of room for the whole family. The three bathrooms are of a very high standard and were an extra bonus when staying with a large group. The facilities were ideal for groups/families staying together and we found the kitchen to be exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed. The owner, Jane was really helpful before and during our stay and the welcome hamper was much appreciated. The house is in a great location to explore the South Lakes with lots of mountains and fells to walk. We made a short drive to the beach and took the train and boat trip to Bowness. There are plenty of lovely pubs and restaurants close by, with the supermarket only a short drive away. We would highly recommend Bishop Fell for your family holiday and would love to stay again.
