    “The location and views from the cottage are stunning.”

    The walking from the cottage is breath-taking. As per previous reviews the cottage is a little chilly and could do with a heating upgrade, it would be nice as well for logs and kindling to be made available, its only £10-£15 from local shop. The lighting throughout the cottage is dismal and with 2-3 bulbs not working makes it worse. Lounge and bedroom lamp??

    The walking from the cottage is breath-taking. As per previous reviews the cottage is a little chilly and could do with a heating upgrade, it would be nice as well for logs and kindling to be made available, its only £10-£15 from local shop. The lighting throughout the cottage is dismal and with 2-3 bulbs not working makes it worse. Lounge and bedroom lamp?? The cooking arrangements need clarification as there are induction pans but in the instructions its convection pans only?? The property folder with instructions would be better presented either in a wallet or bound, loose sheets of paper seem very cheap and unprofessional?? You need to know that the shower only starts if laid in the shower tray for 10 seconds and the water may be turned off at the mains in the downstairs bathroom. Only two toilet rolls so if you're more than two be prepared? Generally a nice cottage but with a little investment in light & heating would be a 10/10 property. PS lovely neighbours.

    Thanks for your comments and so glad you loved the stunning views and location. The lighting is not something anyone has commented on - sounds as though you just had a couple of bulbs gone (which we would have been delighted to replace immediately for you if you'd mentioned it to us or the agents during your stay). There are multiple lamps in every bedroom and in the lounge, so we don't really understand your comments above on that. All the instructions on pans and on the shower are set out in the user guide and previous guests over the years have not had any issues with these so far, however we'd be very happy to guide you through this for a future visit if that would be helpful if you had any uncertainty over that. So happy to hear the feedback on the walking from the door being breathtaking - we wholeheartedly agree! :-) Property Owner

The property

Settled in the peaceful hamlet of Kentmere in the beautiful Kentmere valley, this stone cottage takes its name from the breath-taking views of the surrounding Fells and is a spectacular and traditional base for a trip to the Lake District. Kentmere Fell Views is a three-bedroom cottage ideal for three couples or a family seeking a peaceful and scenic retreat to Cumbria, with incredible vistas on your doorstep. Be welcomed into the spacious boot room where you can store boots and coats, with a door from here into the utility room, and another door taking you to the beautiful kitchen/diner. Come upon bespoke oak units and a large range cooker settled by the dining table, a great place to host delicious feasts, with French doors looking out onto the patio. Head down the corridor which has a few steps and find a ground-floor shower room and a back kitchen which is equipped with further appliances for rustling up tasty meals, with the addition of a washer/dryer too. Retire to the sitting room following a busy day outdoors and be warmed by the woodburning stove as you sink into the large corner sofa or one of the armchairs as you watch the TV, a great way to end another wonderful day. The original cottage staircase made from lakeland slate which is slightly narrow and uneven just adds further charm to this old property, leading you to an oak floorboard landing; from here discover three bedrooms to choose from all featuring rustic beams and pretty shutters, comprising of a king-size and two doubles, with another shower room up here boasting a large enclosure to freshen up in. The beautiful garden is a haven to enjoy with a patio hosting outdoor furniture for dinner alfresco, while the wonderful lawn space is a welcome addition, and the incredible views can continue to impress. Begin your adventures by exploring the Kentmere Fells on your doorstep, with this beautiful area perfect for walks outside the front door. The town of Staveley lies around four miles south and is the nearest place to find amenities including pubs, shops and restaurants, with Windermere being around eight miles away, showcasing local and independent shops and more traditional pubs to enjoy. Visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere before hopping on a cruise along Lake Windermere to take you to another town; go north to Ambleside to see the Roman Fort or head south to find Lakeside, home to the Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway. Enjoy the lake in many more ways too with boat hire so you can go at your own pace and even explore Windermere's many bays and islands, or try out a watersport like kayaking, paddle-boarding, swimming or even water-skiing, there's something for everyone and plenty of local organisers to make it happen! More day out can be enjoyed in Kendal which lies within easy reach, home to the Lakeland Museum, while also nearby is the amazing Sizergh Castle, well worth a visit. Kentmere Fell Views offers an outstanding location for a scenic stay in the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
