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!

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.

The pictures undersell how beautiful this cottage is! Location is perfect 10mins walk to Windermere and less than 20 mins to Bowness. I had a issue on the first day, no water from the hot tap rather than contact Sykes that night, I rang in the morning and all was rectified along with two radiators not working that day. I am in agreement with previous travellers a smart tv where you have facilities to sign in into you own account along with a better spec on mattress toppers as the bed is quite firm would be advantageous. But not a deal breaker! Head to crafty baa Windermere and the flying pig Bowness both dog friendly and cracking food and now the tapas restaurant Bodega Bar & Tapas Bowness also allows dogs. Had a fantastic brunch in Homegrounded but always people waiting to be seated and not dog friendly but can appreciate why with both space and popularity. I would highly recommend this cottage and will be returning

Michael

Very cosy comfortable cottage that i have stayed in last year Perfect location ... Very cosy comfortable cottage that i have stayed in last year Perfect location for local amenities and dog walking Easy to drive out yo other Lake District locations Thanks for a great stay

A lovely cottage with everything you could need. The listing doesn't do it justice! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas which made it feel like home for our week stay. Location is awesome, 10 mins walk to either Bowness or Windermere, we barely used the car as so much to do and see, along with great walks on your doorstep.

Kathryn

We had a lovely stay at Fern Bank Cottage. Very clean and great location. There were a few things that can be improved to make it one of the best places weve stayed. Agree with other reviews on the mattress, definitely could do with an upgrade. After reading the reviews, we took our own topper which I think helped. The TV needs updating, its not a smart tv and couldnt get Netflix, Prime, BBC iPlayer etc to work. And the fridgefreezer. We had to turn it up to make the fridge work and the door of the freezer did not shut properly. A light in the back garden area would be helpful too especially with the dark morningsnights. We would definitely stay again but perhaps a shorter stay rather than a week.

Fern Bank Cottage is wonderful! The photos dont do it justice. Very comfortable house, its warm and cosy. Lovely fire in living room, heating system so easy to use. The kitchen is well equipped. The hand rails were so well thought of and so helpful for my elderly mam. Bedrooms were lovely, spacious and lots of storage. Excellent location! Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great location midway between Windermere and Bowness with a bus stop and great service on the doorstep. Booked again for next year so what can we say....

Beautiful property with everything you could possibly need.

Steven

Really enjoyed Fern Bank. Have been there several times and will return again!

Fern Bank Cottage was just like it was advertised. Clean spacious lovely decor quaint and quirky touches with pictures ornaments etc.I loved the Cludgy outside loo . Very handy when sitting outside or inside saved climbing the stairs. Well located for walking into the town . Close to all amenities and the attractions off Bowness on Windermer and the rest off the Lakes depending on what you chose to do . We both enjoyed a very relaxed and strees free break just what we needed. We will be back in the future .

Lovely little cottage, well presented and equipped. Centrally located for bothe Bowness and Windermere.

Exceptionally clean, warm, great location. .. everything thought of... will stay again ....

Fern Cottage is truly a home from home, all the comforts and little extra's make it a lovely holiday cottage to stay in. Thank you for another lovely visit to the Lakes and a snug cottage to come home to after a day out walking with the pups.

Cheryl

We really enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage. Well equipped, great location in the middle for Bowness or Windmere. Comfy beds, fabulous bath and shower. Only little gripe is the bin in the kitchen needs a really good clean and there is not much space to put your food on in the kitchen as there are lots of personal effects on the shelves so personally I think they could be cleared to allow guests to put food on etc. but apart from that it was fab and we will be going back in the future.

Heather

Fern Bank cottage was delightful. It had everything you could possibly need for the four of us and the dog. It was great having the 2 bathrooms and the master bedroom was so spacious. The only tiny thing I could complain about is that the mattress in the master bedroom wasn't very comfortable, but that did not impact on our lovely break at all. The cottage is in good walking distance from Bowness and Windermere town. We highly recommend brunch at Rum Nicky Brunch Kitchen & Terrace, just a few mins walk from the house. It was fabulous. We would definitely be happy to return to this lovely cottage and would be happy to recommend it to family and friends.

We had a fabulous time at Fern Bank, the cottage had everything you could ask for, the best cottage we have stayed in, cleanliness great, beds super comfy, just a short walk to either Windermere or Bowness, and thank you for the bottle of wine, would definitely recommend staying at Fern Bank Cottage

Rodney

This has been our third visit to Fern Cottage, we hope to return someday soon. Its location is perfect for walking into Windermere and Bowness and is well maintained and very homely.

Stephanie

Spotlessly clean, great location, no issue with parking out the front of the property, the cottage has everything you need for a week away in the lakes. When you find the ideal place, why look further, already booked up for next year.

Vanessa

Fantastic cottage in perfect location between Bowness and Windermere. Only 1015 min stroll either way. Was parking space outside when we arrived and welcome bottle of wine. Didnt need to take the car out as public transport so good and bus stops at the end of the road. Lovely homely accommodation with everything you needed for restful stay. Weather was dry for the most part. Highly recommend a stay at this property.

Nice little cottage for the two of us and our dogs. Would be cramped for 4 people. Great location within easy walk of bars, shops and restaurants. There are also some walks from the door. The large bed in the main bedroom needs replacing as it has had its day I would suggest. Would consider staying here again in the future.

Fern Bank Cottage is beautiful! Its clean, comfortable and in a great location! We loved our stay in this property and will definitely be back to explore some more of the beautiful Lake District.

Gorgeous cottage perfect location and home from home.
