“10/10! We could not recommend this cottage anymore, everything that you need and more!”

The cottage is in a beautiful location with stunning views. An ideal couple get away and only a 15 minute drive to the town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Highly recommend!

“Our 2nd time staying was lovely and so relaxing.”

2 minor issues the shower was draining so slow and a few cobwebs about, didn’t ruin our stay will be back! X

- Lauren, October 2023

Thank you for coming back to stay at Cragfell. We have done some drain clearing so that should be sorted now. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. The cobwebs should also be gone! We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Steve September 2023

“We had a lovely fortnight at Cragfell Cottage.”

The weather wasn't that good, but most of the time, we were either in the cottage or at some attraction that was indoors, so it didn't really stop us from doing anything. On 2 occasions when the weather was particularly bad, it wiped the WiFi out, but once we reported it to the owners, BT were out very quickly. I would say the only 2 tiny criticisms we had, there was no iron or ironing board & as we were there for 2 weeks, we really could have used one. And the other thing, we didn't know what all the symbols around the oven dial were. We use gas at home so we had absolutely no clue.

- Steve, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased to be able to say that from the middle of October we will be switching to B4RN internet so hopefully that will resolve the impact the weather has on internet access! We take on board the comment about the iron and ironing board and will put one up there in the cupboard. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and the bad weather didn't spoil it! Property Owner

“Had a great stay at the property Comfortable bed Lovely location, quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted”

- Tony, August 2023

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and the peace and tranquillity that Cragfell cottage has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you again sometime. Property Owner
Pam June 2023

“Overall the cottage was above my expectations.”

It had everything and more. We did miss our boiled egss as there were no egg cups and an iron and ironing board would have been handy. There could have been more information as to the location. The drive to and from the cottage would challenge a nervous driver. You need to buy all you food essentials in one go as there are no supermarkets or small shops in the local area.

- Pam, June 2023

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased that in the main Cragfell Cottage exceeded your expectations. We think it is in a rather special spot and although the surrounding lanes are narrow, they are very quiet. With the bustling centre of Bowness only 5 miles away, many of our guests find they have the best of both worlds - chance to access shops, theatre, cinema and restaurants and then return to the peace and quiet of Hartbarrow. Thanks also for drawing our attention to the fact the egg cups had disappeared! They will be replaced as soon as possible. Property Owner
Judith June 2023

“Very comfortable cottage, with amazing views.”

Spacious for a two-person cottage. Facilities in cottage excellent and welcome pack a great touch. Great base for South Lake District and Cartmel peninsula. We enjoyed fabulous weather during our stay and as such missed having comfortable sun loungers to fully appreciate the evening sun. Would highly recommend the cottage to other couples.

- Judith, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback for Cragfell Cottage. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and the fabulous weather! We generally are not so lucky in the Lake District and usually the outdoor seating that is provided is adequate for people to enjoy the view and fresh air. We hope to welcome you again.

Robyn May 2023

“Just absolutely stunning.”

Perfect views to wake up to every morning. 20 minute walk to the local pub- which again has the most beautiful views. Quiet and peaceful. Only downside is we didn’t stay longer.

- Robyn, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back at some time in the future when hopefully you can stay longer and enjoy all the area has to offer :-) Property Owner
Emma April 2023

“Lovely cottage and the views are amazing.”

Very relaxing and peaceful, it was the perfect break from our city lives. Very clean and facilities were good, it had what we needed for our weekend away. Only issue was one of the outside chairs was broken, however that never spoilt our trip. We would definitely recommend it and will be coming back in the future.

- Emma, April 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner
Hannah March 2023

“The location is remote, just as the listing says - very skinny lanes to drive around in, but nothing too steep or scary!”

The house was absolutely gorgeous, the bed super comfortable and the booklet for information was very helpful. It was a home away from home. We did one of the recommended walks which was brilliant despite the weather. Thank you for such a perfect honeymoon stay, we'll definitely be back again!

- Hannah, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are really glad that you enjoyed your honeymoon with us and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

Christopher November 2022

“After reading a couple of negative comments prior to travel, we were a little apprehensive en route; I must now seriously question whether the commentators actually stayed there.”

For us, the only downside was not being able to afford an extra week; it was perfect!

- Christopher, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated. We are so pleased you enjoyed all that Cragfell Cottage has to offer and we hope you will visit again sometime in the future. Property Owner

Was a lovely place to stay but would have liked an iron and ironing board and no kitchen roll was non present no full length mirror or a wardrobe in the bedroom otherwise a fantastic place to stay Geoff

- Geoff, November 2022

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and we will take your comments on board. We do usually make sure there is kitchen roll available so I'm sorry about that. There is no wardrobe but there is good quality clothes rail with hangers which is not uncommon in small cottage holiday lets. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you both got home OK. We look forward to seeing you back in the future. Property Owner
Ella October 2022

“The cottage was beautiful, the scenery was spot on.”

The only let down was that when we first arrived it smelled of tarmac/burning quite badly, we later found out it was the boiler near the bedroom which is awfully strong. Smelt of tarmac throughout the whole week. No dressing table was available.. I had to use my phone camera as a mirror and sit at the dining table downstairs. Although as we were getting ready to leave we found a small cosmetic mirror in the bottom of the chest of drawers. Didn’t think to look there for a mirror. Started to cook dinner on our first night to find some of the plates, utensils were still dirty, had to wash up before we could use. Food was left over in the freezer from the last residents. No oven gloves The shower was brilliant, bathroom was beautiful but where it’s a “open shower” the floor of the whole bathroom gets soaking wet. Overall it was a lovely stay with a few issues.

- Ella, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into the boiler smell as this is not normally noticeable. We will also take up the issue of the dirty plate etc with the cleaner who is normally excellent as previous reviews have testified, however that's no excuse so we can only apologise for that. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the beautiful Winster valley. Property Owner

Tim June 2022

“The property was lovely and clean and provided modern contemporary living in a traditional countryside setting.”

The property was ideally located for exploring The Lakes but also provided a quite, rural retreat to come back to at the end of the day.

- Tim, June 2022

Sharon January 2022

“Amazing cottage, our appreciation to the house keeper, the cottage was so clean, a snagging issue with the shower trap being blocked but that was a maintenance item, it was a case of simple unblocking as we did not want to flood the bathroom floor!”

Would we book again, oh yes, cannot recommend enough - you really have to stay in this cottage to appreciate the location and facilities - absolutely amazing

- Sharon, January 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for doing the necessary with the shower and your understanding! We hope you come again, maybe in summer to enjoy the views when the sun shines. Property Owner
Aileen October 2021

“We had a lovely time ,a beautiful cottage with beautiful views .”

The weather was mixed but we were quite happy to stay in so many DVD s to choose from . For walkers an ideal place so many walks to go on . The only down side was the narrow lanes to get to the main road if we had been younger we wouldn’t have worried . One of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed .

“Cragfell cottage is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”

We had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We enjoyed it so much that I decided to look at booking next year. Unfortunately the price increase is far too much and I am so disappointed this is the case. Otherwise I would definitely book again.

The property

Cragfell Cottage is set within gorgeous countryside with fabulous views as far as the eye can see. This peaceful property enjoys views and plenty of outdoor breathing space. It has a relaxed ambience and is in a superb location. It is conveniently situated for the local village store together with three public houses and restaurants at the neighbouring Strawberry Bank, Bowland Bridge and Winster. Two pubs are within a 25 minute walk right from the door along a clearly signed, easy to follow bridlepath. What a great place to unwind and enjoy al-fresco Lakeland life with direct access onto a maze of National Trust footpaths. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time together with your loved one, enjoy the luxurious bedroom, 21st century open plan kitchen and dining area with vaulted ceiling and beams, spacious lounge with floor to ceiling doors, leading straight out onto the patio. A relaxing space to enjoy that BBQ or chilled drink of an evening. This picturesque sleepy hamlet known Cartmel Fell is close to everything and surrounded by some favourite eateries including the very well known 'Masons Arms' at Strawberry Bank with bustling Bowness-on-Windermere being a short distance away. Accommodation Entering the property, you will step into the large and spacious open plan kitchen/diner with high vaulted ceiling and exposed wooden beams. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook that hearty breakfast or indeed a romantic dinner. You’ll find an electric 4 ring hob and oven, undercounter fridge and freezer, dishwasher, and built in microwave. 2 cosy armchairs and a table and chairs are in place for you to relax whilst the kettle is boiling or sit at the table to plan the day’s events. Just off the dining area is a downstairs cloakroom with WC and basin. Continue through to the living room with feature floor to ceiling windows and French doors, which is a perfect spot to admire the panoramic views. Relax on the 2 large sofas which provides ample seating, a perfect room for after dinner drinks, board games or to watch the Smart TV. Stairs lead to a mezzanine area, a great chill out area with an armchair, table and lamp. Across to a luxurious and cosy King Size bedroom, with yet again great views. The newly refurbished wet room, has shower, vanity unit with basin, wc, heated towel rail and illuminated mirror. Outside you will find a private parking for 2 cars, lovely low walled patio with spectacular views. Outside seating perfect for those warmer days! Located at the rear of the property is a single brick store which is lockable with electric, ideal for safe storage of mountain bikes or canoes etc. Location The property lies only a few miles from Bowness village - which is only 20 minutes from the M6 and just a few miles from Windermere train station. Bowness is a contemporary Lake District village on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake and one of the most scenic destinations in the UK for a romantic break. The village is alive with cafes and restaurants, as well as plenty of choice for a special evening out. There are handy groceries, supermarkets and sophisticated shops for leisurely browsing. There is a cinema, a theatre and even a lakeshore nightclub to guarantee you a lively night out if you want one! Stunning Lake Windermere offers all sorts of activities. You'll enjoy taking a sunset wander on the lakeshore or hiring a rowing boat for a bit of fun. Steamers run from Bowness Pier all year round, taking scenic cruises to Lakeside and Ambleside. A great way to explore without the car. You can also take a car ferry from Bowness to the west shore of Lake Windermere, where Beatrix Potter's magical countryside and the honeypot village of Hawkshead are waiting to be explored. Walkers will love exploring the paths and fells around Lake Windermere. For example, Gummers How is a short steep route to a viewpoint high above the Lake (well worth the effort!) and the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank, Bowland Bridge, is the ideal pub to visit for refuelling afterwards. If you are a serious hiker then many of the most spectacular and challenging mountains of the Lake District are within easy driving distance.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CARTMEL FELL

Newby Bridge 4.8; Grange-over-Sands 8.2 miles.

Cartmel Fell is a hamlet and a civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. The village of Cartmel and Cartmel Priory lie in Lower Allithwaite, to the south: Cartmel Fell church is about seven miles north of Cartmel Priory. Wherever you choose to stay you will discover a selection of attractions to visit nearby. And for the adventurous, the outdoor activity in the Windermere area boasts almost every imaginable opportunity. Bowness-on-Windermere rests on the east shore and the busiest tourist destination in the Lake District. Ambleside, at the northern tip of the lake, is also very popular with visitors. Newby Bridge at the south end of the lake is slightly less well known and therefore a little quieter. It is connected to the lake cruises route via a short journey on the steam railway. Other notable visitor locations around Windermere are the wonderful Coniston, Rydal and Grasmerevillages. Hawkshead, Sawrey and Troutbeck and the Langdales are all close by.
