“Fell Cottage, Jewel of the Lakes Words don't realty do justice to this place.”
We absolutely loved it! Stunning inside & out, the cottage is spotlessly clean, incredibly well equipped & so cosy. Perfect hosts, Janet & Jon, have thought of everything and the attention to detail is truly out of this world. With open outlook to rolling hills & fells in every direction, the tasteful furnishings & stylish adornments also reflect the Lakeland views gleaned from every window. As for the garden, what a paradise for plant lovers & birdwatchers alike! We could barely take our eyes away from the woodpeckers, finches & tits taking turns at the feeders every morning. The setting, 'Back of Skiddaw', is a tantalising area to explore and thankfully considerably less known than many of the crowded & more touristy spots further south. Among our favourite excursions: Buttermere & Wainwright's Haystacks; Caldbeck; Bassenthwaite Lake & Dodd; Whitehaven & St Bees at the coast; and all the gorgeous, virtually car-free rustic lanes roundabout Sandale & Ireby. Thanks so much to Janet & Jon for letting us share your idyll. We'll be back for sure!!
