Fellside Lodge in Windermere is highly praised for its cosy ambience, dog-friendly approach, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The property's suitability for both families and pets, alongside its proximity to local amenities, makes it a favoured choice for a Lake District stay.
Most guests find Fellside Lodge clean and well-presented, especially considering its pet-friendly nature. However, a few guests noted areas for improvement, such as floors needing a mop and the presence of leftover laundry, which slightly affected the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for being close to Bowness village and the lakeside, offering easy access to local attractions. The quiet yet convenient setting is a highlight for many visitors.
Guests frequently compliment the comfortable furnishings and beds, as well as the spaciousness of the property. The cosy atmosphere and the provision of dog amenities contribute to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and hot tub, are generally appreciated. However, some guests encountered maintenance issues such as temperamental blinds and a problematic tumble dryer, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
While many reviews express gratitude for the dog-friendly features and the well-equipped property, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate a level of thoughtfulness beyond the expected amenities. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
Resting on the outskirts of Bowness-on-Windermere, just below the Brant Fell, is this immaculate semi-detached cottage, Fellside Lodge. Set over three floors and sleeping up to six guests, this pet-friendly cottage is a charming dwelling for a group trip to the scenic Lake District National Park. You are welcomed to the property by an off-road parking space for two cars, as well as a front patio with bistro-style furniture so guests can enjoy their morning coffee in the fresh air. Stepping in through the porch, which is an ideal place to leave any coats and shoes, then to the sitting room which has a warming woodburning stove and a Smart TV for a relaxing evening with some popcorn. After a long day, when you just need to read the book that you're so close to finishing, head into the lovely snug for some quite time. The kitchen/diner is a stylish and well-equipped spot to rustle up an evening meal to impress your loved ones, as you talk about your fabulous holiday around the dining table, and don't forget to take advantage of the handy dishwasher. The ground-floor also boasts a cloakroom with WC, which then leads down to a utility room which has handy washing facilities and a fully electric motorised professional dog bath, professional dog dryer and hot/cold outdoor tap - your furry friends will love it! Stairs from the sitting room also lead to a lower-ground-floor bedroom which boasts a king-size bed alongside a stunning freestanding bath which is very quirky and romantic, and this is complimented by a dressing table and an en-suite shower room. For those of you who prefer to sleep above ground, head to the first-floor where there are two well-kept bedrooms; a super-king-size which can be a twin to allow for flexible sleeping arrangements, and a king-size which has the added privacy of an en-suite shower room. Both rooms have lovely wooden features and well-thought-out decorations, and they are complimented by a spacious bathroom where guests can soak their muscles after a long day. Outside there is a rear patio, which is enclosed for your furry friends’ safety, with furniture so you can enjoy some al fresco dining and a garage which can be used for bike/canoe storage. From Fellside Lodge you can indulge in a number of bars and eateries, browse round the lovely local shops, visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction or learn more about boats and team at the interesting Jetty museum. With Lake Windermere so close by, you can get stuck into watersports, or enjoy a boat trip across to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside. Once in Lakeside, you can visit the popular aquarium or hop aboard the 3.2-mile-long heritage railway to Haverthwaite, and whilst on that side of the Lake, take a tree-top adventure at Go Ape in Grizedale. Also nearby there is a golf course, some great walking and cycling trails and the market town of Ambleside which has a great number of shops, eateries, museums, galleries, and the ruins of a medieval castle. You'll never be bored with Fellside Lodge as your base, so be sure to enjoy the best of the Lake District from your magical holiday home.
The town of Bowness (sister to Windermere) boasts a range of shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as watersports on Lake Windermere and boat trips to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside. Nearby, there is The World of Beatrix Potter attraction, the Old Laundry theatre, the tree top adventure at Brockhole, and Orrest Head, the scenic spot where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks.

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. Didnât 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.

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
Joanne
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. Itâs a beautiful house and right near the pubs shops and lake. We had lovely walks near by. I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.
