Description

Felldale cottage is perfectly placed amongst some of the most stunning scenery in the Lake District, with every season offering a new picture postcard view.

Nestled between Place Fell, Angle Tarn Pikes, High Street and Deepdale: this is truly a property where you can leave the car for a week, and take to the fells right from the front door. There are mountain bike trails right from the doorstep; and Ullswater, with all its water based activities, is just a five minute drive away.

Two homely pubs just under a mile away: the Brothers Water Inn and the White Lion in Patterdale, provide just the refreshment a day on the fells demands- or if you don't fancy cooking, some good pub Faye

Felldale comprises of 1 double bedroom, 1 king bedroom and a twin bedded room which benefits from an ensuite shower room; adjacent to the doubles are a shower-toilet room and a family bathroom - giving everyone on holiday their own space. Decorated to an excellent standard throughout and furnished in a homely and welcoming style, Felldale has lots of space to entertain and relax, with all the rooms in the cottage looking out onto the fabulous views.

Accommodation in detail

A narrow country lane leads up to the cottage, following a spectacular drive over the Kirkstone Pass. The cottage is all on one floor: making access throughout the property easy, with only a few steps up to the second lounge.

The first lounge has a Smart TV with Freesat and an open fire set in a large stone hearth (coal provided). The second lounge is a real feature room, with a large dining table; wood beams; Smart TV/DVD and micro CD player; an electric colour change fire; comfy furniture and access onto an excellent outdoor space.

The terrace, with a large dining table, is the ideal BBQ or breakfast spot in the summer months. The property faces south/east, giving sun to the front and back gardens, which stretch up onto the fell side and provide lots of room to relax.

The kitchen is well equipped with Neff appliances including; two ovens, a dishwasher, a nespresso coffee machine, and a separate utility room containing a second large American style fridge freezer and washer/dryer.

Choose from any of the three comfortable and well - appointed bedrooms which serve as a welcome retreat at the end of the day. The first two bedrooms are doubles and the third is a twin. It is this third bedroom which contains the ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms are complemented by a separate shower/toilet room and a family bathroom.

The front half of the garage has been sectioned off to provide secure storage for mountain bikes, canoes and outside gear: making Felldale a fantastic facility for those with adventurous plans. The sloping driveway provides parking for three cars, with a secure level garden at the front of the cottage, making the most of the spectacular views, and an elevated terrace and patio area with more garden at the rear of the property.

Location

The inspiration for Wordsworth's 'Daffodills' Ullwater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District and is widely thought to be the most picturesque, being ideal for a self catering Lake District holiday. Travelling from the central Lakes over the stunning Kirkstone Pass you will drop down into the beautiful glacial carved landscapes surrounding the Lake itself, with many quaint villages along its shore line. The areas around the lake provide the perfect place for a restful and relaxed self-catering holiday, with plenty of opportunity for walking, exploring and getting out on the Lake.

At the southern end of the Lake you will find Glenridding, a popular little village and an excellent base to explore plentiful challenging peaks but especially Helvellyn and Striding Edge . The area is excellent for either touring or relaxing and there are many walks from the cottage - The High Street Ridge, Place Fell, St. Sunday Crag and the Fairfield hills all being within striking distance.

Ullswater is thought by many to be the most beautiful of all the lakes in the northern Lake District, being a serpentine body of water snaking a nine mile course under the lea of magnificent fells, woodland and mountain. Much of the lake, its shore and surrounding fells are accessible for visitors to explore, where you will find some of the finest walks and water activities, along with the amenities of the lakeside villages.

One of the best walks in the National Park is the trail that runs along the eastern shores of Ullswater. Explored from the southern end of the lake, dominated by Place Fell, St Sunday Cragg, and Fairfield, you take the path from Glenridding over to the east side of the water. You will be able to ramble all day with a magnificent view always in your sight. For the return journey, board the steamboat from Howtown back to Glenridding. For those who like getting up high, there are some of the best mountains and fells on your doorstep, the most famous being Helvellyn and the precipitous Striding Edge.A gentler walk is Aira Force, probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls. The main force falls some 70ft below a stone footbridge - so don't forget your camera.

Getting on the water is easy. You can take a boat cruise on one of the five beautiful steamers in the Ullswater Steamer fleet. They run the boats from Glenridding, with piers also at Pooley Bridge and Howtown. It's a great way to see the lake from a different perspective and well worth taking a camera.Boat hire is readily available, both at Glenridding and Pooley Bridge, where you have a varied selection of craft on offer including kayaks, sailing boats and little motorboats, along with hire of fishing tackle and licenses.

We were massively surprised by how well-equipped and spacious this cottage is!

There were 3 adults and a dog in our party, and we had no space issues whatsoever. ​The facilities are fantastic, though adding an electric car charger would be a great "nice-to-have" upgrade. Our only minor drawbacks involved bed sizes: the only room with an ensuite features two single beds that felt a bit short for someone 5'10" to sleep comfortably. Combining those into a zip-and-link king or double would make it a true master bedroom. Additionally, the double bed was also a little short; since there is plenty of space in the room, upgrading to a king-size in the future would be a great touch. ​While these bed sizes would unfortunately prevent us from booking as a group of 6 adults, we still had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend it!

Firstly, the situation of this cottage is magnificent and the internet access commendable, but this delightful house does need some attention.

As others have commented the sofas are on their last legs and generally there is an air of delapidation with much of the paintwork being tatty including the garden furniture. We also suffered a minor inconvenience when two of the three toilets had problems and one radiator had a bowl underneath to catch the drips. After discussion with the owners, plumbers visited and things were put right, but the last thing you want to spend time on when on holiday is the maintenance of someone else's property. I have noticed that with their expansion it has got much more difficult to get hold of anyone at Sykes, and the owners' contact details seem to fall under the category of state secrets. I'm sure that with a bit more love and care this house will be tremendous find.

Felldale is a tardis!

And its located in an amazing part of the lake district,with many great walks, from the end of the long narrow lane. Patterdale, glenridding, angle tarn, brothers water, ullswater and for the adventurous helvellyn are right on the doorstep. The cottage itself could use some tlc. The sofa in the front lounge is worn and torn and the furniture in the top lounge seemed more suited to a conservatory and the amazing room could fit a much more comfortable sofa than the sofa bed. The TV in the top lounge was also hard to watch as it seemed discoloured. The radiators in the twin and back bedroom didnt seem to come on which ment the nights were a tad chilly. King size bed was really comfortable but the twins were very creaky. Showers were fantastic but will bring our own towels next time as the ones provided were small. Another blue bin bag could be useful. Kitchen well equipped with everything we needed and the unexpected milk, eggs, bread etc were very appreciated. We saw the rabbits and the red squirrel came each day. Already looked at dates to come back but due to how lovely felldale is, its not surprising that most dates are already booked.
