There was a lovely welcome pack from our lovely host Jane which was much appreciated. Our American friends really enjoyed making use of the health club which was a nice bonus. I would highly recommend the house to anyone who is interested in booking it.

A fantastic week's stay. Very high quality accommodation.

Colin George

An Absolute Gem The Perfect Getaway! We have just returned home from an absolutely wonderful holiday at Bishop Fell, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. It truly was the ideal getaway for our family. The property itself is incredibly spacious and comfortable, allowing us all to completely relax from the moment we walked through the door. It is also exceptionally wellequipped with everything you could possibly need for a stressfree staythe owners have really thought of every single detail to make it feel like a home away from home. A massive bonus for us was the lovely little park located right next door to the property. It was safe, convenient, and kept the kids entertained for hours on end, which made our stay even more relaxing. On top of the fantastic property, the owners were absolutely wonderful. They were so welcoming, helpful, and attentive, making us feel completely valued as guests. Thank you for a beautiful stay. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be looking to return!

Justine

We had a wonderful stay at Bishop Fell and could not recommend it more. The views are beautiful, it is very quiet and peaceful with walks from the front doorstep. We all enjoyed our mornings having coffee at the outdoor table, in the sunshine, looking at the view whilst deciding where the day would take us. The house is perfect, very spacious and very clean!

Beautiful house, loved the attention to detail. Very spacious throughout but 2nd floor bedrooms were amazing in size, decor and facilities. Host Jane very welcoming on arrival and the use of local health club was great, we used the pool one day as weather was very wet. Good location for visiting surrounding area and we hope to return in the future.

This is a fabulous house, very luxurious with everything you could need. It looks exactly like the photos if not better! We were a family of three generations and it was an ideal property for us all. The garden is three tiers therefore a little challenging for those with mobility issues but this does not detract from the property at all. Jane was fantastic and happy to be contacted if any issuesthere were none as everything was perfect. There was a lovely basket of goodies and milk for us on arrival. Jane sent a message with with places to eat etc prior to our arrival which was a great help. E we were ideally situated for both Ulverston and Windermere. I would 100 recommend this property.

Daniel

A magical Christmas stay! We stayed at Bishop Fell to bring the family together over the Christmas week and proved to be a huge success with lots of memories made. The house was extremely comfortable and furnished to a high quality. The house was always cosy and warm and we appreciated personal checkin from Jane, welcome hamper and Christmas decorations. The kitchen had everything you needed, including two ovens, two fridges and all Le Creuset cookware and crockery. Beds were comfortable and always provided a good night sleep and sofa large enough for everyone to sit together. The house was in a great location for exploring the Lakes, we used the complimentary leisure access at the whitewater hotel to take the little one swimming, the play park next door and walks from the village and slightly further afield West Windermere Way. All the family said they'd return again for a future stay.

Thank you so much to Jane owner who helped us with every single thing we ever needed. Such great hospitality. Such a great property with everything you could possibly need! A home away from home! 5 stars

Valerie

Trevor

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday cottage in the Lake District. The house was absolutely lovely clean, tastefully decorated, and wellequipped with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Jane, our host, was welcoming, helpful, and thoughtful throughout our stay. It really made all the difference and added a personal touch that we truly appreciated. The location was stunning, and the cottage was the ideal base for exploring the area. We felt right at home and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Well definitely be staying again highly recommended!

Second stay here and just as fabulous. We love this house and everything that is provided in it. Great location near the bottom part of lake Windermere but easy to get around by car. Jane is a fantastic host and thoughtful with the gifts on arrival. Love the new sofa Jane. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house. Can highly recommend booking a stay here. x

Victoria

Thank you to the property owner for being so friendly and informative. The gifts in our fridge on arrival were a lovely surprise. We had a wonderful week at Bishop Fell.

The cottages was fantastic had everything you could want for a comfortable stay. Jane was a welcoming host. The location and views were lovely. Great area with lots to do. Hope to go back again soon!

We had the best week in the Lake District weather wise. 2 adults and 3 kids. Bishop Fell is by far the best Sykes property we have ever stayed in. We usually take various kitchen items with us just in case but never needed to use them, the house just has everything you would need. Beds were super comfy and the showers were all great. The decor and views were all amazing. Jayne Owner was lovely and runs a B&B close by. Great walks on the fells behind, close to Windermere and Kendal and the supermarkets in Ulverston. This property is highly recommended by us.

Thomas

We had a lovely week in Bishop Fell, it is well equipped, is in a nice location, and has amazing bedrooms and bathrooms and is the best holiday housecottage I have stayed at.

Patricia

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was spotlessly clean and very high end quality. The owner was nearby if needed and easy to contact. The property was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. We were there as a family of 7, aged 21 87. A grab rail near the toilet and inside the shower would have been really helpful for my parents, and we found to hot water to be too hot but apart from that everything was perfect. It was a wonderful stay.

This is a wonderful property, we couldn't fault it, it was spacious, the decor is a really high spec, the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom is so lovely.

Bishop's Fell is a beautiful property with a stunning primary bedroom and bathroom and lovely views from the top floor bedrooms. Jane was very welcoming and friendly host. We found the property to be an excellent base for all our daily activities. It was also very reassuring that shoes were to be kept at the front door. It definitely reflected how clean the property was throughout. We had a very enjoyable stay and the property was fantastic for us as a family.
