Fern Bank Cottage Reviews

A warm and cosy welcome after an 8 hour drive just perfect! Lots of lovely, thoughtful touches and a stunning decor we have come away with lots of ideas for our house renovation! Thank you Sam & Jackie clearly so much work goes into Fern Bank Cottage we will be back!

Pamela

Fernbank was a home from home. Everything you could need was supplied. We were two couples and there was plenty of room for us to be together or separate. The property was very clean and tastefully decorated. It had a lovely courtyard garden to catch the sunshine in. It is in an ideal location between Bowness and Windermere in walking distance of the lake, boat trips, cafes and restaurants and shops. Parking outside the property was easy. It was a wonderful house for a holiday.

Rodney

We visit the Lake District every Summer with our two small dogs and have stayed at Fern Bank Cottage multiple times. We still consider this our 1st accommodation option, an ideal location right between Windermere and Bowness.

Kathryn

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It has a really cosy feel and enjoyed the decor. Lovely to have a dining room and sat there in the morning watching a robin building a nest in the Ivy. Great location for the Lake District. We will definitely be back!

The owners have done a fantastic job with their property in helping to make guests feel comfortable. Local information about the area is placed around the property. The property was super clean and everything that you could need home from home was available to use. The decoration was professional and muted colours for relaxed mood. First night was an issue as radiators were not working in each of the 2 bedrooms and these rooms were extremely cold. Especially for my 82 year old mother. This I resolved by purchasing a radiator key from screwfix in Kendal the next morning and bleeding the air from the radiators. This is the only issue we had, so as much at the time it was an issue, I resolved it and did not have any issues with the property. Of course a few tweaks could be done to improve the property a little, but I would not mention them as I am sure the owners know what they are and I am sure they have plans to do do the improvements. They seem to know what they are doing. For anyone that are looking for a decent , smart , homely property to stay, than look no further. This would suit anyone. We would defiantly stay again, if we could endue the 8 hour drive again. We did break a Mug accidently, but we did purchase a replacement and left this for the owner. We found the Sykes cottage message service on this issue absolutely useless. Which makes me wonder that if there was a serious issue, Sykes cottage support service would not be good enough! Kudos to owners of this cottage. You are doing a great job with your property.

Stephanie

Overall stay was good, theres a couple of issues with the property that could be easily fixed to make it a great stay. The heating it gets cold in February and the two bedroom radiators dont heat well, with a baby this was a concern. The high chair at the property needed screws tightened up and straps scrubbed with bleach to make it usable. The ceiling light in the main bedroom has wires exposed, the hairdryer PAT test is overdue with wires exposed, tiles on the fireplace surround damaged, TV in living room could do with an upgrade, only 1 shelf in the oven and 1 oven tray available. This isnt me looking for issues, just what I happened to notice during our stay. Location is great, price is reasonable, cleanliness good. We have stayed a couple of times before and are booked to stay again later this year, just wish a few of the above points could be addressed.
