Fell Foot

Beautifully located property with extensive mature gardens for kids and dogs to explore.

This historic property has all the character and quirks expected for it's age, while having all the modern facilities expected and as described. The large 8 person hot-tub was a fantastic experience. Kid's have made us promise to go back there (not that we needed much persuading). The heatwave and good weather prevented us from needing the wood burning stove, and that's something we usually love on an evening. The kitchen has to be the best equipped we've come across in our many years of renting properties in the Lakes. Can't wait to go back!

We have been having cottage holidays for years but Fell Foot was the best yet!

We immediately felt at home in the house and the views from the garden and hot tub were amazing! Sat on the patio in the morning with a cup of tea was a moment I will cherish. Wonderful walks nearby, a great pub and a lovely rustic cafe for coffees and breakfast. We did venture further with the teenagers and dogs but we would have happily stayed around the cottage all week.

Excellent cottage in a lovely area.

Kitchen was well stocked, everything you could need. Utility room was big and useful for washing muddy shoes at the end of the day. Perfect for Wainrights bagging or swimming in lakes and tarns. The hot tub was an added bonus, such a pretty setting. Welcome pack so nice too, thank you

A lovely cottage ,ideally situated for w alking and exploring the lake district .

Great facillities at the cottage .

We loved our stay at Fell Foot.

The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained, we felt right at home. We loved the collection of games, especially the Wii Sports Resort on a very rainy day. The kitchen was well equipped, we were a big group and never struggled with big pots and pans. The hosts kindly provided butter, bread, cake and chocolate, as well as a very nice note, which was a lovely touch to the stay. The hot tub at the back of the house was very nice and well needed after hiking up Scafell Pike. Overall was an amazing stay and we will definitely be back. Thank you Kate and Dawn!

Our stay at Fell Foot was nothing short of perfect.

Such a beautiful home, in a wonderful setting, with views to die for. The house itself was spotlessly clean and the little touches upon arrival were lovely (milk, tea & coffee, bread, butter, and some lovely cake); visitors literally want for nothing. We instantly felt at home and our two dogs loved exploring the magnificent garden. We could tell they too were very happy, which made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. Fell Foot is in close proximity (a few minutes walk) to the pub and craft shop / cafe and we have to say, their cheese scones are a must!! A real home-from-home in every sense, even if the weather has you beat, or you just want to curl up in front of the log burner and watch TV, Fell Foot has it all, including Sky TV, Netflix, Apple TV, etc (use your own passwords, obviously)…even game consoles if that’s your preference. The rooms were delightfully furnished, with crisp linen and comfy bed in the en-suite master bedroom. The very large boot room was perfect for tired pooches to relax, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, cutlery, crockery, etc (there is a local Spar/petrol station nearby to purchase all the food you need). This was without question the most relaxing and perfect little break we have had, and we cannot recommend Fell Foot highly enough! So lovely to see a beautiful family home being kept alive and shared with so many families all making their own memories. Thank you, Kate & Dawn for a truly wonderful visit.

We had an amazing time.

The cottage is in a beautiful area, it was so peaceful and quiet. I would definitely recommend

This is a beautiful, well kept house with a lovely garden and surrounded by the most amazing countryside.

We came here for a week to celebrate my big birthday and we were all really impressed by the facilities the house offered. It felt like home from home and I couldn't have wished for anywhere more perfect to stay. We would stay here again and hope to do so. A big thank you to the owner.

Beautiful property, perfect for 8 of us in a great situation - very comfortable and clean.

There was a lovely welcome basket and even treats for our dog! Great hot tub too… we will certainly be back!

We loved our stay at Fell Foot.

The house the garden and the location were perfect for our family and the dog. We needed nothing extra in the house and the hot tub and log fire were great. There’s plenty of room for 8+ guests and so much to do either by taking short car journeys or just by walking out of the house. I would definitely recommend the property to anybody wanting to explore the Western Lake District.

From the welcome basket to the accommodation we were delighted.

It had everything, the Hot tub was wonderfully placed with fantastic views, its location was near to quaint cafe, beaches and pub..not to mention the amazing wast water. Having been to many skye holiday cottages this was the best. We will be recommending to others...not too loudly as we dont want to miss out when we book again:)

Lovely cottage.

Well equipped, with everything you could need. Situated in an ideal location. Would definitely go back.

This home and it's surroundings are absolutely beautiful.

My family of 5 stayed for Christmas, New year and my Husband's 50th birthday. We had the most amazing two weeks here and fell in love. We were all sad to leave. We hope we can go back in the near future.

Loved the Cottage.

Excellent location with walks on the doorstep and a lovely pub and cafe two minutes away. The Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, and the bonus of the hot tub after some cold walks was great. The boot room/utility room was great for all our wet clothing and wet dogs. We would love to go back in the summer to spend more time in the beautiful garden. We had a power cut, and Dawn sorted it out very quickly.

We absolutely loved our stay at Fell Foot.

The location is excellent for all of our favourite activities - hiking, cycling and getting out on the water. The garden was enormous which our dog loved and the hot tub was most welcome after an active day, especially the beautiful view of the fells. There were plenty of options of pubs and cafes nearby. We also loved the thoughtful basket of goodies left for us and package of essentials for our dog. We cannot wait to return <3

Beautiful home from home, has everything you need for a great holiday whatever the weather.

Location is stunning, and you are well placed to visit sites around the West Lakes and coast. Hot tub a bonus at the end of a day sightseeing.

The property is very well equipped with everything we could need including maps.

The property is spacious and very well looked after. The location was superb with easy access to the Western lakes. There are three pubs within easy distance of the property. The hot tub has a fantastic view of the fells. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Wonderfully clean and spacious house with lots of character.

Great location being so close to Wastwater and the surrounding mountains including Scafell Pike - scenery is absolutely stunning and we were really lucky to have mostly fabulous weather too. Host and housekeeper were very responsive and friendly throughout our stay.

Gorgeous homely cottage well equipped.

Loved the hot tub after some fabulous hikes. Beautiful well kept gardens enjoyed by both dogs & humans! Only a few mins walk to a lovely gift shop/cafe. Great food and service enjoyed at the The Bridge Inn. Everywhere we came across was dog friendly. Good communication from Dawn the housekeeper. What a stunning location, stunning cottage and stunning stay! Thank you!

We had a fabulous time in this beautiful cottage, a real family home which was so cosy and had all the facilities you would need.

The gardens were lovely and well maintained with a hot tub which was so relaxing and had beautiful views to look at whilst you relaxed. We had fun evenings on the wii, and a great choice of film on sky. Fuel for the wood burner was plentiful. We lived the cottage so much we booked again for March 2025 whilst we were there. Thanks to Dawn for the lovely welcome and hamper.

Lovely place in a great location and great communication.

Would Def stay again.

This is a lovely house with a superb garden.

We were a party of 7 , 4 adults and 3 boys ( ages 11,12 and 13) plus a small dog. The property was ideal , very well equipped, easy parking for 3 cars. The boys loved the very large enclosed garden with a stream and hot tub, plenty of room to run and play with the dog ( who also enjoyed it ) . Woody's cafe and gift shop 5mins walk away and nice local walks close by without taking the car. Irton Pike just up the road is worth the uphill walk for the views. The Bower House pub serves good food and has a small kids football pitch at the back. We made one trip to Whitehaven for supermarket shopping and Cumberland sausage from the butchers. Our other great outings were Hardknott Pass ( fabulous scenery) , the Lal' Ratty steam train to Ravenglass ( well worth the money ) and the boys loved Muncaster Castle with archery and the birds of prey. Fell Foot and it's garden made the holiday perfect .Despite it being Storm Lillian week the daytime weather was fine enough to enjoy everything. If you return to Dalegarth on the train we would highly recommend The Boot pub in Boot about a quarter of a mile from Dalegarth Station. The roads are narrow , be prepared to give way or reverse occasionally. Many thanks to Dawn the Housekeeper who was very helpful when going out on separate trips we accidentally locked ourselves out. The boys and adults were so happy with the week we wished it had been longer.

Amazing stay, lovely cottage, peaceful, tranquil, just what we wanted.

The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped, the little one loved playing with. Amazing hot tub views. Great contact from Kate and Dawn.

The property and gardens were amazing the views spectacular.

If I were to recommend anything at all it would be more comfortable mattress in the king sized room and proper 3 foot 6 single beds in the other rooms. It's not always small children who require a single bed. This said it would truly take some beating. Provided the best r+r withing easy reach of bars, plenty of walking both gentle and more challenging. Would deffinatly book again.

What a find.

The most beautiful of locations, the most beautiful cottage and excellent facilities. A small stream running through the garden, bridges, a covered gorgeous Hot Tub with breathtaking views and the cottage couldn’t feel more ‘Lake District’. Dawn was VERY helpful and the cleanliness, instructions and welcome gifts were lovely. Thank you for a very wonderful holiday, we shall be back.

I stayed here with friends for a walking holiday and we absolutely loved the place.

The owners had left us a lovely welcome package and the cottage had everything that we needed. Can't imagine a better way to finish a day of strenuous walking than sitting in a hot tub and looking out at the snow-capped fells!

Very comfy and delightfully situated cottage

A lovely Cumbrian stone cottage, which has been sympathetically extended.

The cottage has all the facilities we could have wished for, including a hot tub at the top of the garden. In summary a lovely quiet location. Santon Bridge is a small village however there is a good pub, and several good tea shops/ cafes. Eskdale Green and Wasdale are very close, lovely unspoilt villages, with more places to eat and drink, and the idyllic Wastwater lake.

Fantastic garden, views and facilities, wii for the kids when needed, range of books games, fully furnished property, great sized laundry/boot room for dogs, hanging outerwear, storing boots etc.

Bedrooms were comfortable and really clean as were the bathrooms, with an abundance of towels I think it’s fair to say the decor is a little dated, but our interaction with the owners and the prep for our stay along with the overall comfort levels more than made up for this. Most of the days are spent outside and it was a great place to return to after rafting, walking etc and is perfectly positioned for the great pub, just down the road. Fully recommend staying here, for the space in the house, views, facilities provided by owner, the great garden and overall comfort

What a fabulously large cottage in a great location that easily accommodated 6 adults and 2 dogs.

Gorgeous garden and the hot tub was a delight after a day's hiking.

Excellent house: very well situated and equipped.

Owners and housekeeper are lovely and always on hand to help. Would stay again

Amazing spacious accomodation.

.everything we needed.

A comfortable family property with fantastic views and a great well kept garden with beautiful flowers , squirrels and birds galore with sheep in the surrounding fields .

The cottage has everything you need , spacious rooms , books and games available and a tinkle on the piano too . Welcome pack was great with bones for our dogs too. Fab location , walks from the cottage , Ravenglass railway 10 minutes away , and less than a 40 minute drive will take you to Wastwater , Whitehaven and St Bees. An hour away is Coniston water , a drive over the hills , and through windy roads, Ice cream and gingerbread in Hawkshead not to be missed . Overall a fantastic holiday , we would definitely love to visit Fell Foot again .

The cottage excesses are expectations.

It was clean and well equipped. The gardens were stunning. The location was truly tranquil. The most enjoyable week with family. The dogs enjoyed the peaceful surrounds. Would definitely go back.

Such a beautiful cottage in a beautiful area, there was 8 of us staying all together and there was plenty of room for us and it made such a nice weekend, we are already looking at rebooking to come back!

Fantastic property with character, as described and really well-equipped.

Loads of board games plus waterproof OS 1:25k maps to borrow. Fell view from hot tub with a (plastic) glass of something fizzy was a treat! Local pub 1 min walk, 1.5 mile walk through local wood past tarn and round to halt station on the steam railway; 1.75 miles to pub at Eskdale Green and fab hike over Irton Fell with Wasdale views to brill pub at Nether Wasdale (The Strands). Easy and fun local drives, overall quiet area of the Lakes. Great having Fell Foot to come back to at night. Highly recommended.

This was a very well equipped residence and the garden was fabulous for our two terriers.

we would definitely stay again.

What an amazing property, so well equipped.

From bread and butter, to waterproof maps. And of course tea and cake! Amazing. Dawn, the housekeeper, was so helpful and on hand at any moment. Beautiful views from the hot tub and garden, there is a cattle grid at the front of the property, which, somehow, our dog managed to get across, but only once, we think he didn’t like the experience first time. We loved to play the games which were on the bookshelf, with all the pieces still in their boxes! Oven gloves and tea towels, plastic rubbish bags and kitchen roll were all available for us, in the kitchen.

Lovely property, great location, and quick communication from housekeeper.

Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in the Lake District.

It was a beautiful location.

On arriving in the cottage, the extra touches that were there was lovely, being welcomed with a lovely ‘Welcome card and pack’ with even extra for your 4 legged friends. Arriving in December, expecting it to be cold, the cottage was warm and comfortable. Highly recommend to stay here.

An absolutely fantastic property.

We loved our stay - a cosy, homely property in a fantastic location. We can’t wait to return!

The property was of a very high standard and well equipped.

We had a great stay and loved the hot tub. It was perfect after a day of walking. Everything from booking to picking up keys was perfect, Kate even contacted us to say it was ready early if we needed to arrive sooner. This was very thoughtful and well received as we were in the area early! I can see us booking again in future. Thank you

Very comfortable and well equipped property.

Brilliant location with lots to do and see. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a days walking looking out onto the fells. Owner very friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing holiday.

Was a very well equipped comfortable property.

The hot tub and garden were amazing, as was the views. The communication from the owner and housekeeper was brilliant, would definitely go again.

Our holiday was perfect, from the accommodation right up to the areas to visit whilst there.

Photos just doesn't give the house justice. Very clean, very roomy, very well equipped, we all absolutely loved it, especially at night when my 18 year old son would play the X Box (as he's not keen on hot tubs). Really nice views from the huge, lovely quirky garden and when relaxing in the hot tub which was used more or less every day. Would love to visit again especially as a gate will be fitted to the entrance of the drive way. I would highly recommend.

Great cottage in a very peaceful setting.

Loots of space for us and our 2 dogs. The garden certainly kept them busy. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained. A short walk to a great pub/diner meant no cooking nightly, a big hit for us too.

Great location!

fabulous garden and hot tub with great views. Fell Foot is a real hidden gem and is without doubt the one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in. The only minor down side was the bed in bedroom 2 was very uncomfortable, apart from that we had a fantastic holiday, and would hope to stay there again sometime in the future.

We had a wonderful week at Fell Foot it was home from with everything you you would expect and more.

Attention to detail was great one if the best holiday cottages we have stayed in lovely location stunning garden and a very helpful housekeeper if needed above and beyond expectations. Will go back again.

Lovely house and garden, hot tub serviced every two days, plenty of room , facilities and equipment for the 6 adults and two children in our party.

Fabulous holiday home, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need.

Accommodated 8 adults and 2 dogs easily. Hot tub was gorgeous with amazing views to the mountains and lovely gardens. Plenty of off road parking and a short walk to the local pub which serves good food. Cafe round the corner for basic supplies and a small gift shop. Highly recommended!

Best property we have stayed in in many visits to the Lakes.

A really comfortable home from home with a fabulous garden (ideal for older children but not toddlers), beautifully presented and with everything we needed. Very dog friendly. Nice quiet location with beautiful walks nearby.

The location of the cottage was perfect, so tranquil.

Unfortunately the alpaca farm which was next door has closed so the write up needs updating. The cottage had everything we needed for a multi generational family to stay. It was a warm and welcoming house. The only slight negative were the very small single beds which were pretty uncomfortable. The garden was fantastic and we used both the upper and lower terraces and the family made good use of the hot tub. We would definitely visit again.

Perfect for a group or family We (4 couples) had a fabulous weekend in this lovely cottage.

We were extremely lucky with the weather(!) and so got to enjoy the garden as well as the interior. Clean with plenty of space, the cottage is in a quiet location with great views, but also very convenient for the pub. Perfect.

Wonderful cottage, great hot tub, close to some great walks!

Fantastic stay

This holiday was amazing.

We went over Christmas and where able to spend Christmas under the same roof as a family of 8. The cottage was everything we had hoped. Was all set up to feel christmassy specially with the open fire on. We all had an amazing time and didnt want to come home. Absolutly lovely place. So quiet. Would definatley recommend.

What a beautiful property.

Honestly you can tell its loved, everything you can think of is ready for you. Lovely comfortable beds and the towels and linen so clean and new. Thankyou so much, we really enjoyed our stay.

We loved the cottage, garden and the hot tub.

It felt really homely and cosy. We would definitely like to stay there again

Property is stocked with all sorts of useful things.

Very homely and a great garden/hot tub. Extremely relaxing.

Fell Foot Cottage is a very comfortable, homely cottage nestled within beautiful and breathtaking scenery that exceeded our expectations.

The hot tub was an added bonus. We will definitely be returning.

Wow.

What a beautiful and huge holiday home set in the most exquisite location with views that make your eyes hurt! I wouldn’t hesitate to return with family and friends. A superb holiday with just everything you could ever need. Thank you so much for letting it occasionally to others. We will be back.

A brilliant fortnight in an amazing house with fantastic garden.

Peaceful location, lovely views and extremely well equipped. 10/10

a very peaceful and tranquil place, surrounded by stunning landscape and the hot tub area and view was absolutely amazing.

we can't remember a holiday so relaxing, just what the doctor orded

This is a perfect holiday cottage.

It gives home from home comfort and a warm welcome.And so much more is provided in the views and vistas, the little touches and kindnesses of this house and the lovely gardens. Thankyou

We are aware that there are on going improvements to the property but overall were all very impressed with the cottage, its garden and the surrounding landscape, also the welcome pack was gratefully received.

Just a few minor points, maybe some more soft furnishings for the dinning room ie.curtains/ blinds some bins in the bedrooms and better lighting for the kitchen. We would like to say that the owners made us feel very welcome and at home, we would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you all, we had a wonderful time.

We could not get in as Sykes gave us the wrong key pad number we had to phone the owner .

It was Great place to stay hot tub

The property has a superb location.

100yrds from the Woodlands Tearoom, 300 yards from an excellent pub, The Bridge Inn, easy access to both Eskdale and Wasdsle valleys and 15 mins to the coast . Perfect base for walkers and families alike.

This cottage is superb, it was immaculately clean and comfortable and the garden was just magical.

The area is breathtaking, just to sit in the hot tub looking at the views was so relaxing. Dawn the housekeeper and her husband were extremely helpful without being intrusive . A beautiful place to be .

Beautiful cottage in quiet peaceful surroundings.

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday, excellent space for our dog who loved investigating the garden. Beautiful walks available around the area, excellent pub and cafe nearby. The hot tub was an added bonus - wonderful stay, already looking to see when we can go back!
