Description

As you enter the cottage via steps at the back, you will find the useful utility space with washing machine, a handy bench for taking off your boots, and hooks for your walking gear.

Head further through the cottage where you will discover the fabulous kitchen diner with plenty of space to cook, dine and socialise with family and friends. The kitchen is fully-equipped with dishwasher, stove, butlers sink, microwave, and plenty of cupboard/worktop space. There are double doors leading into the inviting living area so you can have this space open plan, or closed for cosier evenings in front of the log burner. Here you will find two plush sofas to curl up on while you enjoy a good book or watch your favourite film on the smart TV.

Moving upstairs, there are two beautifully styled bedrooms, each with quality furniture, mattresses and luxury bed linen for extra comfort. The master bedroom is at the back of the cottage and has a double bed, the twin bedroom to the front of the property can be made up as superking size on request (£15 charge applies).

There is also a peaceful reading room where you can enjoy some R & R.

The impressive shower room has a walk-in shower and a bespoke sink which is a real focal point of the room.

To the rear of the cottage there is a lovely decked patio area with bench seating ideal for sitting out and enjoying warmer days with a glass of wine.

Visitors will not need to worry about where to leave the car as there is private allocated car parking.

The cottage is perfectly placed at the heart of the charming village of Portinscale. The popular Farmer's Arms pub is conveniently only a stones throw away, and The Chalet tearoom, Lingholm Gardens and the marinas also nearby. The views from the cottage are sure to inspire and walkers will delight at what's on offer straight from the front door. Head up Catbells for a fantastic birds eye view of Derwentwater. 10 minutes from the property, the walk takes you along the lakeshore, through woods where Beatrix Potter set some of her best loved books.

The cottage is next door to Tawny Cottage, which may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together.

Reviews

Fell View, Greet Location
The property is modern and well equipped in an excellent location. We enjoyed great walks such as Catbells from the doorstep, whilst only being a short walk from the centre of Keswick with all of it's amenities. We did find the access a little tricky, the staircase to the door is fairly steep if you have small children or elderly dogs with mobility issues. The decking is nice but could do with some plants or screening in order to separate it from the neighbours and make it feel more private. We did have some issues with cleanliness, dirty towel (probably missed in error), tissues left in drawers, large cobwebs in bedrooms and the floor under beds / sofas in need of a good clean. Nothing that can't be rectified with a good “spring clean”. It's a great weekend base, just wasn't the correct property for us.
Spacious and comfortable cottage
Fell View is a lovely cottage and even better than the photos on the website. It is more spacious than expected and has been renovated to a high standard. It is less busy than Keswick but only a few minutes away from it by car or a 20 minute walk away from all that it has to offer. We were there for the annual Convention and appreciated the short journey. The cottage is a great centre for exploring the Lakes with great local walks around Derwent Water or up Cat Bells or for going further afield. Keswick Cottages were very helpful and attentive to any requests.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your review of Fell View. We are thrilled to hear that it exceeded your expectations. The cottage's location is a perfect base for a trip to the Lakes, whether it be for the Convention or a walking holiday. Thank you for your comments regarding the team here at Keswick Cottages. We are a local team who are passionate about our properties and ensuring that our guests have the best stay possible. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Lovely property in a great location
Lovely property in a great location. Very well equipped and everything was to a high standard. The large parking to the rear was a real bonus, especially when it came to unpacking etc... We managed you use the patio area, which was really nice and we really enjoyed eating our breakfast outside and enjoying some evening drinks on the patio. The beds were comfy, it would have been nicer with lighter weight duvets, as the heavy weight ones in 29 degree heat was a bit much !

Hi Louise, Thank you for your review of Fell View. We're so pleased you had the opportunity to use the fantastic patio area during your stay. It is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. We hope you had a great stay! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

We have used Keswick Cottages for several years now and have always found their properties prepared to a very high standard and their staff, should you need them are very friendly and helpful. this was our first stay at Fell View but certainly won't be the last! The cottage has been so tastefully renovated and decorated - it is a true haven for rest and relaxation. All needs are catered for, a superb break.
Fell View provided us with the perfect home from home to return to after a long day walking on the fells. We really appreciated the calm feel of the cottage, the impressive hot shower and extremely comfortable bed. Parking was easy and we enjoyed eating outside in glorious May sunshine on the smart decked area. The utility space/boot room also came in really useful for all our walking gear! Portinscale was a pretty and quiet base for our holiday with plenty of lovely walks right from the door as well as excellent pubs and Keswick itself not far away. Thank you for a fabulous holiday!
A great experience, lovely accommodation with little extras all sorted as requested.
