Had a brilliant stay. Lovely cottage and a great location to explore the Lake District. Our hosts couldn’t have been nicer and more welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
Nice place but the road was closed nearby and we weren’t warned about it so had to turn round and do a long detour. Once we knew it was easy to avoid but it would have been good to be told beforehand. Also I found the bed too hard.
The barn is very well equiped and basically very nice. The hosts were charming and very friendly and helpful. I could not give it 5 stars because on arrival I felt I had to hoover up the lounge and kitchen area of many dead and some also squashed flies on the floor. The hoover did not work properly because it was full and blocked-- I emptied it and did a partial clean of the filter so that it did work. I advised the host that the hoover needed a good clean and the filter to be replaced.
lovely property.peaceful location.,everything required was prvided.hosts brian and sheila were very welcoming and helpful.
Great hosts and cottage !! The hosts welcomed us in a wonderful way and the cottage was extremely clean and cosy. A real pleasure to spend a week there.
Peaceful location, great views, friendly and informative hosts, and very comfortable.
Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable for two of us plus one small dog. The barn itself was clean and tidy, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The welcome hamper was generous, and the owners (who live next door) were friendly and helpful. The garden is spacious with great views. It's lovely sitting on the decking looking down over the nearby pool. It is pretty securely fenced for a dog, although our border terrier pup (8kg) found a couple of gaps into the garden of the owner next door. The gaps were swiftly fixed by the owner, but a small and determined dog needs to be kept an eye on. Larger and/or more relaxed dogs would be fine, and it didn't stop us or our dog enjoying using the garden. The surroundings are scenic. Both the seaside and the lakes are within driving distance, and there are pleasant walks available from the barn itself.
The Fellside Barn is in a stunning location, you can't really ask for more when visiting the countryside - amazing views, lots of live stock around and amenities close by. Our hosts were both lovely, they made sure we felt settled and comfortable and the garden is perfect for the dogs to have a little freedom while staying secure. The barn itself is beautiful, well stocked and comfortable. We'd definitely visit again!
Lovely location, helpful hosts & great accommodation. Would definitely recommend - we had a brilliant time and the welcome pack was a very nice touch.
Lovely barn, with lots of space and well maintained. Beautiful views and plenty of outside space safe for dogs to enjoy their stay too.
A very comfortable, well appointed property. The owners, who live nearby, struck a perfect balance of being friendly and helpful but not in the least intrusive. Ulverston, which has a good range of shops, is a short drive away. Windermere, Kendal, Cartmel etc are easily accessible by car.
Excellent location. Great hosts.
An excellent place, great hosts and a wonderful location. The accommodation is very well designed and equipped and a generous welcome pack provided. Thoroughly recommended.
Beautiful and well appointed cottage. Lovey walk from the cottage to Ulverston using the Cumbria way. Perfectly placed to explore Winderemere and Coniston. A really lovely, warm and comfortable cottage to escape to!
Absolutely stunning peace and quiet the barn has been refurbished to a very high standard all you need and more
The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. It had everything you could need. The owners were very friendly and very helpful. The only downside was the garden was not fully enclosed so not suitable for our dog, however we did get to use the neighbouring field so our dog got a good run in there. The neighbouring field however is not always available as the local farmer does graze his sheep in it on occasions. Would definitely go back to Fellside Barn as we are now aware that the garden is not enclosed so are more prepared for this.
We were two couples staying at Fellside Barn. We absolutely loved it! The facilities were fabulous and we had access to everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was room to relax without feeling like we were crowded and the garden setting is magnificent. We love the location of the home. We loved being away from the busyness of towns and cities and felt like we really were treating to an oasis after the end of days exploring the surroundings. The walks around the property are amazing and our hosts were friendly and caring. Thank you so much for a wonderful, memorable stay.
All good but beds were uncomfortable, too hard. Otherwise suited our needs and had a great week. Beautiful surrounds
