Description

We were overjoyed to find this truly romantic, traditional Lakeland cottage so close to the heart of Bowness village and retaining its charming original features despite a decadent 4 star refurbishment. Fellside Cottage is a romantic Lake District retreat if ever there was one; full of 'olde worlde' charm with eclectic nooks and crannies, and cosy to the point that you might not want to leave.

The living room is straight out of a fairytale with old oak beams and warming woodburner, and the dining area ideal for a special occasion or a lazy breakfast with the patio doors flung open. Throughout bedroom and bathroom you'll find country cottage chic, stylish design and 21st century comfort where it matters most.

Accommodation in detail

Just off the centre of Bowness village, a driveway leads to this select set of terraced cottages with parking right outside your door. Enter to the lounge with sumptuous furnishings, adorning beams and woodburning stove. The kitchen is set apart by a 'king post' beam and well-equipped with a breakfast bar. A staircase branches off at half-landing to the romantic dining / garden room with table for two and doors to the patio garden and pretty stone-built summerhouse. Upstairs to the chic King-sized bedroom and designer bathroom. Unfortunately this property isn't equipped for infants/children.

Location

A holiday cottage in Bowness places you right at the heart of the most popular Lake District holiday destination. Situated on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere and easily accessible from the M6, Bowness village is a friendly community of quirky shops, lively nightlife and a range of excellent Lake District restaurants.

There's lots do in the village during the day, with hire boats, Windermere Lake Cruises to Ambleside and Lakeside, and expert outdoor equipment shops which are handy for picking up advice on popular Lake District walks. Windermere Golf Club is only a few minutes away. By night, Bowness has entertainment for every taste.

Located close to the famously scenic A591, Bowness is a great place to start if you're planning to explore throughout the Lake District. Head north to Windermere village, Ambleside, Rydal Water and Grasmere, or head south to Lakeside and the peaceful southern tip of Lake Windermere.

What an absolute gem!

Beautiful little cottage, perfectly located literally 5 minute walk to water front. Was a bit concerned when directions kept mentioning very steep drive to cottage but its literally just the driveway and we don't drive so used the slightly more manageable steps tucked away in the corner. Yes, it is a very steep climb back up to shopping centre and cinema and train station but the buses only charge £3, cheaper than a taxi and stop is either at water front or the nearby church. The cottage would have got full marks if it wasn't for the shower. 1st morning, I followed all instructions left by owners but water still escaped somehow, I did run my finger along bath edge, it was completely dry so settled for long luxurious bath instead (we only have a shower at home, so bath is a treat!) Silly little things like no tea towel but was a very handy cleaning pack, toiletries not supplied, normally not an issue but I forgot mine this time but Tesco's is round the corner. Back door locks are incredibly hard to open but worth persevering, the garden is lovely! All in all, will definitely look at booking Fellside Cottage on our next visit, highly recommended.

Fellside cottage is beautiful and relaxing but has a few issues that need addressing properly.

Shower screen leaked down into the kitchen no matter how much you tried not to get water on the screen. Water pressure in the kitchen needs to be reduced a little as it tends to splash every where. The cleanliness however needs addressing with lots of cobwebs behind furniture and on ceilings. other than that its a lovely cottage.

Very happy with accommodation parking a little tricky with steep entrance and can easily be missed from road.

having said this the access to Windermere is great and would book again.
