A lovely place to stay. My daughter thought it should be highlighted that the garden has no grass her dogs prefer a grass space and it was a short walk away to find a suitable area. Also, it could be helpful to mention the steepish climb from the town my husband is in his 80s and needed us to take the car down to town to bring him back up the hill. But, overall, it was great, and the hot tub and log burners were particular delights!

Just had another lovely week in this beautiful cottage. It is conveniently placed up a small hill from the town and has everything you need for a break away including for your dogs. This was our third time here and will definately be going back for a fourth.

The cottage is gorgeous has everything you could possibly need. Super clean and amazingly comfortable beds. Only drawback as pointed out previously is that there is no grassed area at the house for dogs and the entrance is immediately onto a busy road which i hadnt realised from the description. Only a short walk into Bowness and overall we loved the house and all its facilities thank you.

Everything went well from booking to enjoying our stay, highly delighted with everything. The accommodation was beautifully presented, immaculately clean with lots of everything like towels, kitchen utensils and equipment etc. As always the hot tub was the star of the show well used over the weekend. Located an easy 10 minute walk from the centre it was very handy to escape to and relax after enjoying the facilities at the Lake.

Really really impressed with everything about Fellside Lodge. Extremely clean and absolutely everything you could possibly want was provided. Often when we stay in cottages the kitchen equipment is basic the opposite was true here. Couldnt have asked for more. Was perfect for 3 generation family and 4 dogs. Would love to visit again, and will thoroughly recommend to others.

We had a lovely family stay over the easter weekend at Fellside, 3 adults, 2 teens and 2 dogs. The cottage is lovely, perfect size, plenty of space for us all and lovely bedrooms and home furnishings. Everything you could need is there and so many games, we had great fun trying different ones, and we just loved that there was a lovely doggy theme running through the cottage! The doggies were spoilt too with lovely blankets & towels just for them, and the dog wash station super helpful to have a supply of towels if you forget something or have a wet week! Location was perfect for Bowness, a 10 minute walk down albeit a steep hill so worth bearing in mind for any members who may struggle with that, however near enough to drop down in the car and pop back up to park if needed. We discovered our dogs won't toilet unless they have grass so that was a learning curve for them with the patio but they managed it We couldn't fault Fellside, a super lovely staff thank you. Just one note for the property owner is, the windows had been left on the latches in the bedroom off the lounge. We arrived alter in the day so didn't think to check and assumed it was just a really noisy road. I realised as we left the property the following morning and noticed from the outside so that first night was super noisy but i equally should have checked. sorted once i realised and closed them all the next night but may be worth mentioning to the cleaner or a note for other guests to check if they find the same.

Absolutely perfect for a weekend away it was immaculate, wellmaintained, and had a really lovely welcoming feel. Everything was thought about and it realy seemed like it had dogs at heart, which is so refreshing for these types of accommodations. We made the most of everything the home had to offer and look forward to coming back!

What a lovely cottage. Excellent location with a 10 minute walk into Bowness. Extremely clean and very well furnished and made use of the doggy bath for my Jack Russell. Secure in the back garden which is important as a dog owner and despite being semidetached the garden private and not overlooked. Bed very comfortable and bedrooms well appointed. Very quiet both day and night despite near to Kendal Road. Highly recommend for a perfect break and will book again.

Fabulous comfortable and spacious cottage for families with dogs, close to everything in Bowness. Thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a great break in the Lakes, lots of good books, puzzles and games and lots of dog towels, throws, bowls, treats and walking guides. Lots of places to dry coats, boots and dogs. Loved the dog wash in the basement. Wonderful location, we parked our cars on arrival and used the local bus and boat services to get around to our walking areas. Just a 10 minute walk along a well lit pavement into bowness. Would have no hesitation in booking again.

Went for my husbands 60th with my family had a fantastic time great location & everything you needed in the lodge . The only think I would say is when it rains be careful of the floor around the hot tub as it was very slippery. Certainly would book again .

Fantastic lodge. Second time staying here will definitely be back.

Excellently appointed and very comfortable. Extremely dog friendly and spacious. Gutters need clearing as they overflowed especially over the fibreglass kitchen bay window which was noisy. Radiators need bleeding too but only mention these as minor maintenance tweaks as everything else was perfect.

Absolutely fabulous cottage, it has every possible thing you need for time in The Lakes, we loved the well stocked bookcase and selection of games, our only regret is that we were only there three days. More should be made of the fact that its only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Bowness along well lit pavements, a nice change from walking in the gutter on pitch black lanes! We will be back.

Beautifully furnished and well equipped Cottage in a fantastic location. Plenty of room for four adults and two children. We all wished we could have stayed longer! We hope to return at some point soon

Wow what a fabulous cottage, everything you need for a home from home stay with nothing missed! Massive plus having the dog area in the basement which is ideal for wet days and pampering your pet whilst away. Only downfall is the stairs into the kitchen. Could do with a carpet as our dogs were very wary as they were steep and slippy so we had to assist them into the kitchen area at all times. But on the whole our whole family loved the stay and most would definitely recommend and book again next year! Thank you for helping to make some special memories, it was magical.

Fantastic property which is a credit to the owners. We had everything we needed for our stay and wanted for nothing. The location was excellent and only a short stroll into Bowness. After a day out walking, the whole family loved the hot tub....especially myself with my bad knees! Our Weimaraner has never been so clean. The dog wash facility was outstanding, especially the doggy dryer. We would recommend this property to anyone without hesitation and will hopefully be back next year. Many thanks.

Fellside is the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed, which makes for a very relaxing holiday. The location is perfect as a base for exploring the lakes, and the hot tub is a welcome relaxation after a day hiking. The lodge is only a short walk to the town for an evening drink. We will definitely be back as we have a lot more exploring to do.

Stunning cottage. Clean and tidy and the dog theme was so cute! can tell the owners care a lot about the place!

This was the first family holiday that we have had in a long time. On top of that it was the first holiday for our four dogs and I can honestly say we booked the best place for everyone and one of the best places Ive ever stayed. When we arrived the lodge was absolutely stunning, the pictures that are on the advert are exactly what it is like in person. All the rooms are very spacious, the beds were comfy, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you could ask for. Plenty of pans, utensils, cutlery and crockery. The dog showerbath is great and weve all come away wanting one at our homes. The owners have plenty of dog towelscovers that are free to use. The outside space is great, plenty of seating, a BBQ to use and the best thing of all a hot tub which was great to relax at the end of a day exploring. Its location is very easy to find by car and its only 10 minutes walk from the centre of BownessOnWindermere which is great. Far enough away to not hear the busy centre but not too far to walk. We have already been looking at rebooking for next year and I can say for certain that we will be returning in the near future. Would highly recommend to anyone that is wanting a holiday with their four legged friends.

We had a superb week in Fellside Lodge, 6 adults, one toddler and 4 dogs! Kitchen excellently equipped. Lucky with weather and able to use the bbq, although unable to find any bbq tools! We were aware that there were stairs but we had to be extra vigilant with our grandson particularly between dining room and kitchen. Dogs made use of the dog bath. All in all an excellent property, we would hope to return.

We had a lovely short stay at Fellside Lodge. The cottage is so picturesque and full of charm and character with nice modern touches and attention to detail throughout. The dog wash and hot tub were great touches. Its perfectly positioned and just a 5 minute stroll into bustling Bowness. A slight issue after our stay was handled promptly and professionally by both the property owner and Karen from Sykes customer services. We look forward to visiting again and wouldnt hesitate in recommending Fellside Lodge.

Would very happily recommend this cottage to anyone but particularly those with dogs. The owners have created a very warm and welcoming space. The bedrooms are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the living spaces are perfect. It was beautifully clean and the hot tub is a lovely treat to enjoy after being out in the fresh air. Loved it.

Lovely cottage. There was a time when logs were provided at a small cost. Now its source your own? Not a fan of the leather sofas in the living room as the room was always a bit cold and they felt chilly. Some bits and pieces needed a bit of maintenance. Lovely cottage though. Short walk into town. Fabulous jacuzzi. Big enough for four adults. Nice bedroom downstairs so my daughter and her boyfriend had privacy. Very well equipped kitchen for cooking. Totally brilliant dog washing facilities in the basement. Although watch out for the very hairy stairs that are very deep indeed. The agent rectified a couple of small things that needed attention on arrival. We would definitely go back. Very satisfied.

Arrived later in the day due to the weather but the cottage lifted our spirits immediately. The layout and the standard of the property helped make our long weekend very enjoyable. Good base from which to get around and make the most of the Lakeland scenery.

It is a beautiful cottage and was very warm and comfortable. Its in a great location and we all loved the hot tub.I particularly loved the free standing bath in my bedroom. Dogs enjoyed many walks and the log fires. We all agreed that wed love to return to the area and would choose fellside lodge as the perfect holiday accommodation.

I am not a fan of publishing negative feedback when issues remain unresolved, however given the time frame passed since our stay and lack of meaningful update from Sykes I feel I have been left with no choice. We chose to stay over the Christmas period for a week. Indeed this was the first time that we have ever stayed away from home over Christmas. Positives communication prior to stay, initial impressions of the cottage, amenities, lovely welcome pack and level of dog friendliness of the accommodation, which aside from some of the steps mainly the uncovered ones from the dining area to the kitchen which one of my dogs had real difficulties with really is unrivalled over anywhere else we have stayed. Negatives upon arrival we noted a completely loose kitchen plinth laying on the floor, a leaking downstairs ensuite radiator and that Sky was not working on either Smart TV. I reported these issues on that first evening via the Sykes app. Non of these issues were an emergency so did not warrant a call to the emergency number provided, and I assumed Sykes would be in contact the next day. This however did not happen despite me contacting them on numerous occasions via the same message thread chasing an update and being mindful that given our stay included both Christmas day and Boxing day there was a good chance that staffing would be at a minimum. Cleanliness whilst the cottage was generally clean, by the first morning my dad reported to me having to clean the upstairs shower tray due to it being blocked with hair and other detritus that would have caused it to overflow if left unattended. Oven on Christmas day we were cooking a full meal and as such used both gas ovens. The oven to the right kept going out while we were trying to cook, leading to us having to swap items around to ensure everything was cooked properly and a delay in our meal. Outdoor area there is a real lack of lighting on the courtyard particularly by the two steps leading down to the back gate. There are signs that the slabs become slippy when wet, however treatment of the green algae will assist significantly with minimising this. There are also signs for hot tub maintainence, however to our knowledge it was only attended to once during our stay. Sky TV neither Sky Box worked for the duration of the stay. The box in the living room was constantly whirring, and simply did not work. Luckily the TV's are Smart and we could log into Netflix and Prime, however if you do not have these accounts then watching the TV is going to be difficult. It's a facility that simply shouldn't be advertised if they consistently don't work noted issue on another review. It was Christmas week, and clearly we wanted to watch filmsfestive programmes during our stay. If some of these issues with the boxes are down to lack of system updates these should be checked as part of the cottage reset prior to new customers staying. Sykes response I finally received a reply on the last full day of my holiday. No apology, basically blaming me for not making contact via phone, as apparently phone calls were being prioritised over the festive period. If this was true, then it should have been published on the website auto reply. Since my return I have had to chase for updates any person I have spoken to seems fairly uninterested in the issues raised, and no meaningful apology has been offered over the seemingly standard 50 refund and send some photos of the issues of a non working oven, and a non working Sky box!. I have also been made aware of a recent BBC consumer affairs programme which highlighted similar bad customer experiences. So to summarise, with better maintaince the cottage would be amazing, however I would not choose to book any future holidays with Sykes.

Such a beutiful homely cottage, perfect location ! ! Beds were super comfy and spotless

We had an amazing weekend here with friends. We loved the cottage which was beautifully decorated with lots of doggy pictures and accessories, books and games available to use. There are a few steps to some of the rooms. The cellar was a great place to clean the dog after muddy walks easily accessible from the back door. We all loved relaxing in the hot tub. We would love to return again. Thank you.

Fellside Lodge was such a cosy place to stay. The kitchendining area was so sociable we loved it. Cosy little reading room and beautiful log fires. Beds were very comfortable. All baby items were very high quality and even had brand new packaged sheets if we wanted to use them. The dog facilities were amazing. It was a perfect weekend, despite the weather

A lovely cottage that has been beautifully renovated to a high standard. It is located up a hill just a short walk to the centre of Bowness however still feels quiet and private. There are shops, bars and restaurants within easy reach. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need if you choose to cook. The three lovely bedrooms are all a good size with comfortable beds, 2 with ensuites and one main bathroom. In the snug there is an interesting selection of books and games. I loved the large utility room and had been excited about using the doggy bath, however there is no way I could have got my old dog down the steep steps. The outdoor space is safe and securely enclosed. The hotcold outdoor doggy shower was useful. We have one at home but was a first for us in a rental property. The hot tub was the hit of our stay and we were in it each evening. Just be aware that there are a lot of steps in this property and if you have an older dog they may struggle with the Amtico flooring. Having said that it is by far the most doggy friendly place we have stayed.

Where do I start! My hubby and 2 adult children with partners stayed for 3 nights last weekend. I truly didnt want to leave! Its the first time weve take the kids back to the lakes since they were much younger. The property was so much more than we imagined. Kitchen was amazing, we were doing a come dine with me and were amazed at everything provided, incredible! Downstairs living areas were so comfortable, log burners very welcome. Bedrooms and bathrooms were incredible, we felt as if we were in a 5 hotel. Beds incredibly comfortable. Downstairs utility with washer and dryer plus dog washing, which we didnt actually need to use these but very well equipped. Outside area lovely and secluded, hot tub accommodated all of us comfortably. Just 10 minutes walk from the centre made it a perfect base to walk to or visit surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend this property!

We had a fantastic week with four adults and four dogs! The house was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need for your stay there! We all absolutely loved the house and the hot tub was amazing. Bowness town centre was just a short walk down the hill and we had a couple of great nights in the Arts Bar. We had such a great time and the house was a home from home it was brilliant so much so we have booked to go there again in May 2025

Fantastic place. 6 adults, 2 infants & 2 small dogs, ample space and comfort. Amenities are endless. Having access to the garage to store our roof box and bars in for the week was brilliant. Literally a home from home, none of the family wanted to leave and we are already looking at returning next year hopefully!

The most beautiful lodge, plenty of space and perfectly situated to enable you to walk into town. Everything provided and lots of it kitchen well stocked with utensils plates glasses etc which was refreshing. BBQ wasn't cleaned out from previous renters though so had to scrub to be able to use it but that was only a small negative. Totally catered for dogs! Which we loved.Dog walking book in the lodge was a godsend thank you. Didnt use dog facilities in the cellar as our dog has bad hips so was too steep for him but washed him outside with hose tap supplied. Definitely recommend this beautiful place felt very much like home from home so settled immediately.

Had a great week, beautiful cottage

Comfortable and spacious property, well equipped. Hot tub nice to go in at end of day . Only downside our dog got through railings around hot tub ended up on garage roof, think that needs looked at

I stayed at Fellside Lodge with my family and their dog. It was perfect for all of us. We all enjoyed the hot tub. It was clean and tidy with lots of space for us all. The kitchen cupboards had ample appliances, mugs and glasses etc and all was of an excellent quality. Its a beautiful house and right near the pubs shops and lake. We had lovely walks near by. I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.

Fantastic place to stay dog friendly only 5min walk to pubs etc . Will rebook to stay again

We had a bad time as our dog had a leg injury, we tried to change date but you would not allow us too. We could not find the walk that was in the notes. As the dog could not walk, we had to drive down to the lake every morning, very early for the dog to do his business. He would not go into the patio area. I also thought it smelled of dog urine.The cottage was lovely and would recommend, I don't think its suitable for dogs re garden area. We only stayed for 4 nights as worried about our dog.

Perfectly located cottage with everything we needed for a great stay. Never been in a self catering with so many mugs and glasses. Super dog friendly with a great layout. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house. Lots of good walks, good food and hot tub time for the teenagers. Only minor thoughts would be a pizza cutter would be useful and the steps to the hot tub are very wobbly.
