Lovely, modern place
Great location near a footpath up to Todd Crag, which has a spectacular view. Sitting room was exceptionally comfortable. Kitchen had everything I needed. Beds good too. Only concern was that parking was tricky. Probably would have been fine if I had a smaller car or it was my car rather than an unfamiliar rental but I was concerned every time I had to maneuver in the tight space. However, I did consistently manage it. :) Per plan, I moved to another place for the second half of my Lake visit and found parking challenging there too.

The cottage was fine . The only problem we had was the boiler: we had to reset it every day and climb a small stair to reach it. It would-be approperiate to repay 15% from the rent.

Spacious home!
We so enjoyed our time at the cottage. The description was accurate with the amenities. There are THREE bathrooms! It was great to have the ensuite ones for me/hubby and then the other for my mother-in-law. Yes, the driveway is not for the faint of heart, but you get used to it after a few days. About a 15-20 minute walk (stroll) into Ambleside. The weather was absolutely beautiful, so we were able to eat dinner outside on the tables provided. One suggestion we have is to replace the kitchen chairs -- they were comfortable but they're 'shedding' a bit and we kept finding pieces around the house. Perfect puzzling table in the kitchen. Great lighting. Comfortable beds. Really impressive water pressure. Thanks so much!

Frustrating and disappointing for us
WARNING - Keith and Helen (K/H) have a very strict change/cancelation policy! We booked 6 weeks in Fellside. A month after booking, circumstances required us to reduce our stay to 4 weeks. We gave K/H 2 -1/2 months notice. They told us they would re-list the two weeks (which they did) and they said they would work with us on a refund (which they did NOT). The 2 weeks did not rebook in the 2- 1/2 months that they were re-listed. We asked K/H to please refund the 2 weeks that we did not use or at the very least to give us a credit that could be used in the future. Our requests/emails were ignored. The cottage itself was nice - roomy, comfortable and well appointed (other than the kitchen, which was a bit sparsely equipped). However, it was plagued with a host of issues that continually had to be dealt with - to name a few: a bathroom that was unusable due to a very bad odor, a broken washing machine, numerous failed light bulbs, slow draining shower and sinks, a missing DVD player. To their credit, K/H remedied these issues with the exception of the strong decaying/dead animal odor in the bathroom, the source of which was never identified. However, it was annoying to have to deal with all of these issues, and surprising in a property as expensive as Fellside. The issues above are the reason for our 1 star rating. We rate our accommodations based on whether or not we would return. For us, having to pay for 2 weeks of unused accommodations has cast a dark shadow over Fellside and K/H - accentuating the cons and diminishing the pros of our stay. We do quite a bit of traveling. When selecting accommodations, we rely heavily on reviews. Therefore, we always try to take the time to return the favor by writing detailed reviews including pros and cons lists. Below is our cons and pros lists. Cons - inflexible change policy, quite expensive compared to other lovely cottages we have rented in Ambleside, lack of views, no Wi-Fi signal in the main bedroom, extremely steep windy driveway, difficult parking spot, main bedroom bathroom shower basically has one temperature and it makes a loud whining sound. Pros - comfortable living room, good size refrigerator/freezer, plenty of storage for food and clothes. We are usually so happy with our rental cottages and we have come away with life-time friendships with many of the cottage owners. In contrast, the experience with Helen and Keith has been quite frustrating and disappointing for us.

Lovely place
We had constant rain and flooding which stopped a lot of activity but the place was so comfy with great heating, showers, lovely beds, comfortable sitting room and good kitchen. A nice place to hole up and escape the weather with TV, music and games.

Lovely cottage and well appointed.
Cottage was lovely and clean. Some of the previous comments I’d read were accurate. The drive is a bit steep and if a few cars are in the courtyard it’s difficult to reverse. Well placed fir a 3/4 mile walk into town.

Lovely Property, Great Location
This property had everything we needed for our stay; it was well equipped and very comfy (I can’t remember the last time I slept so well, even after lots of walking and fresh air). It couldn’t have been in a better location, we hardly used our car as we were in walking distance of so many places: Watershead & Ambleside for shops and restaurants, Lakes Windermere, Rydal and Grasmere, and Loughrigg Fell for a gentle hill walk. Would highly recommend this property and definitely hope return again.

Very comfortable and well situated cottage
Very comfortable cottage and well situated to visit the Lake District. Kitchen well equipped, cosy sitting room and very good beds. Ambleside is ideal to visit the Lake District (Brockhole visitor centre, Wray Castle, Rydall Hall, plenty of walks...). There is a steep slope to reach the house/parking but also possiblity to park the car just beneath the house. Very helpful owners.

Great 2 Bedroom in the Lake District
When booking a place we always wonder if it really looks like the pictures & Fellside definitely does! What you see is what you get. We had family visiting and found the two bedrooms with nice sized living room and eat in kitchen was perfect. Plenty of space so no one felt crowded. It's about a mile from Ambleside, a perfect central destination in the Lake District and Windermere with it's larger stores is only 15 minutes down the road.

Great property in superb location
we stayed for a week over Christmas. Cottage is very well appointed, TV's in every room, 2 ensuite bathrooms and 1 shared toilet. The owners had taken the trouble to put up a Christmas tree plus other decorations. Only a 15 minute walk to town along footpaths. Parking is a bit tight but not a big problem, we had 2 cars. Access to hill walks with great views within yards of the property. We really enjoyed our stay

Fantastic!
Very pleased with our accomodation! In a private area that over looks the countryside and lake. A well finished property that is extremely comfortable and thought through. Beds are amazing- slept very well during stay. Make use of the top private garden and one below beside small lake. Quiet and enchanted! 1 thing I would bear in mind for again would be that the drive way leading up to property is very steep with a tight turn into parking.. possibly not suitable for very large SUVs. However our long estate car did just fine!

The house was very good
Overall the house was very good - but it was not overly well equipped in the kitchen - for example there was no means of making coffee - we had to go out and buy a cafetiere. There were a couple of other issues - the pump on the heating system was very noisy, sufficiently so to wake lighter sleepers at night. Also the Velux skylights gave excellent light during the daytime but those in the bedrooms flooded the room with light at 4am, again waking lighter sleepers - they need to be fitted with blinds. Finally, there was confusion about the time the house was available - the final details (which including address, key Code etc) sent to us via the iPhone app said 2pm. We arrived at this time to find the house had not been cleaned - cleaners did not arrive until 3pm. We called the owners who told us that arrival time used to be 2pm but is now 4pm. This needs to be corrected in the documentation provided to your clients. Other than the above, we found the house to be very good - the beds were particularly comfortable.

A big thank you to the owners and to the lakes for a break that was memorable for all the right reasons.

Clean spacious and very comfortable, a real home from home
Four of us spent 5 days in the cottage and on arrival were immediately impressed with the standard of furnishings and the modern open feel and look of the accommodation. All the rooms were of a good size and were very comfortable. Two days confined to the cottage because of heavy rain did nothing to impair our feeling of comfort and relaxation. A minor problem with the plumbing was resolved satisfactorily with Keith making arrangements for a plumber to call the same day. The property was well placed for a short walk into Ambleside and For exploring other parts of the Lake District. We would definitely stay again and will recommend it to friends looking to visit the area

Modern and great location
This cottage is ideally situated to walk into Ambleside and to visit the attractions of the lake district. The cottage is modern with all that is required for a comfortable stay. If I had one wish it would be for a bath after a long walk, but all rooms were en suite with showers.

Such a lovely cottage : )
The cottage is lovely and we would definitely stay again. It was tastefully decorated and very homely. It had a good mix of traditional cottage style with high ceilings with beams and log burner, but lovely modern big spacious kitchen dining room. The beds were very comfy as well as the sofas. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped. We made use of the slow cooker. The owners were very help too when I needed directions to get to the cottage. The location is very good. Quite central to travel to other parts of the Lake District.

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Helen Farrell

Host profile image
We live in a small village in Poynton Cheshire we have always loved Ambleside and the surrounding area and finally purchased Fellside that was old and was in desperate need of renovating. It is now fully renovated and is ideally situated within easy walking distance to all amenities yet still in a quiet and peaceful position.

Why they chose this property

If you enjoy a peaceful quiet location yet want also to be able stroll into the village and be amongst the many bars and restaurants this is ideal. From Fellside you can walk easily to the village and Ferry port (Lake side ) The cottage shares a court yard where you can enjoy the sunshine and the views of the Lake.

What makes this property unique

Due to its elevated position accessed by a small steep drive the views from the court yard and above the property are stunning this is one of the main reasons we bought the property. The bedroom and lounge have featured ceilings creating a pleasing cottage feeling.
