Soak up the wondrous views from your very own private Hot Tub, before taking a refreshing shower in the adjacent Wet Room and to make the most of the stunning scenery, why not dine Alfresco and gaze at the sunset, while preparing one of the two barbeques – one situated on the upper terrace, the other on the Hot Tub patio. The local area is wonderfully remote and unspoilt, yet accessible to enjoy all the attractions of the Lake District, here you can find the amazing experiences of “walking with wolves” and observing “majestic animals” or just enjoying the famous Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding, will provide holiday memories you will never forget. From the property, walk down the adjacent, ancient, medieval Drovers Lane, past the village green to the Crown pub opposite, where the accoladed Michelin Star Chef is opening his “fine dining” restaurant and offering delicious bar snacks. Local stores and Post Office are nearby in Lindale and Newby Bridge. The local Edwardian seaside town of Grange-over-Sands is well worth a visit for even more wonderful amenities of Golf, Nature Reserve, sites of special Scientific Interest as well as fashion and craft stores and a plethora of restaurants to satisfy every taste. Grange has several of the usual supermarkets, with larger superstores to be found in the town of Kendal, some of whom can deliver. Within the Lake District National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Centre) you’ll find abundant walking and cycling routes all around, with Tarn Hows, Old Man of Coniston and Blencathra being just a few of our favourites all benefitting from being just a scenic car journey away, Several romantic Lake Cruises operate from the different lakes.

Lindale is a modest village resting in the south of the Lake District National Park, settled amongst the beauty of The Southern Lakes, making it an idyllic holiday base at any time of year. Within the village you can find a local pub and a Post Office with a convenient general store, while nearby Cartmel is well-worth a visit for its famed sticky toffee pudding.

    The views are stunning, even on a wet day, especially if you are sat in the fabulous hot tub. The property was a perfect fit for my 60th birthday, with lots of friends and family joining my husband and I in the celebrations. There is lots of space to gather and lots of space to grab a moment to yourself. Loved the sauna and each bedroom has an on suite, with an extra bathroom off the kitchen. Lots of attention to detail, for example an Aga and an electric oven, two fridges and freezer's, huge comfortable beds and lovely pillows Lots of space to park many cars, which is always a bonus in the Lakes. We all enjoyed our stay at FellFoot and will fully recommend

    All the bedrooms were very well furnished and the beds were especially comfortable. The owners were lovely and it was nice to have them check on us to make sure all was OK, and when a minor issue with the hot tub arose, they were quick to get back to us with a solution - though the weather meant we weren't able to use it again! A couple of left items were reported to me very quickly and have arranged for them to be returned via Sykes. The layout of the house meant we could all have our own space, but often we were found in the kitchen around the ample dining table (with space to spare). We would suggest that maybe the sofas in the living room need looking at as one especially sinks very low when used! But this is a minor point and did not distract from the overall greatness of the property. We may be back in the future, perhaps in the more summery months next time!

  • Pamela

    Fell Foot was an excellent base for exploring the Lakes and everybody was catered for in the form of personal space and fantastic bathrooms. Parking was very good, but we would have liked the electric gates to have been functioning, as we had dogs with us. We didn’t use the hot tub, but enjoyed the facility of a balcony with a beautiful outlook. The lounge furniture was comfortable but the settees are in need of replacement. The kitchen was spacious and very well equipped, although we struggled a little with the electric AGA. Our group was all adult, and our elderly mother should have been with us. She would have had issues with the couple of steps from kitchen to lounge. The property is listed as wheelchair inaccessible but an idea of the few steps would have been useful. Any small points were vastly outweighed by the positives of this fabulous holiday house
