Walkers will find Little Mell less than 2 miles away, Hellvelyn and Place Fell within 7 miles. Glenridding is just 4 miles away, enjoy a pub lunch and then catch the boat to Pooley Bridge; you can then walk to Howtown, which is just over 2 miles distant. This was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks and offers views of Ullswater and Helvellyn. Enjoy a day at Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens (7 miles) or why not visit Rookery House Activity Centre (3 miles), offering a huge selection of activities including go-karting and paintballing.

As you enter the property into the hallway, to your left you will find the bright cosy lounge, offering views across the garden. Kick back in the evening and relax, watch a good movie on the Smart TV or, for the more competitive amongst the group, play a game on the Xbox. In the winter, curl up in front of the glowing wood burner. Across the hallway you will find the kitchen, it has everything you need to enjoy a family dinner together including a range-style electric oven and hob, dishwasher, coffee machine and fridge/freezer. The feature island offers additional space to prepare lunch and evening meals. There is a dining area within the kitchen for you to catch up as a family over dinner or make plans for the day ahead while enjoying breakfast. Off the kitchen area, there is a handy utility room with a Belfast sink, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer; there is also a storage area for sports equipment and bikes. Head back into the hallway where you will find a pretty twin bedroom with views over the garden and wall-mounted Smart TV. There is a shower room next door which features a shower and WC. Head up the stairs from the hall to the first floor you will find a further three bedrooms, 2 king-size and 1 twin, all of which have wall-mounted Smart TVs and lovely garden views. There is a second bathroom on the first floor which features a bath, a separate shower and WC.

Very spacious and comfortable house . We definitely felt pampered and cosy while we were there .Was a great size for 6 women and easy to go on walks around the lake . The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of parking space . We would definitely return to it .

Lovely house but as above needs work around the wood burner. The bathroom would benefit from a deeper full size bath. The house should have an information booklet. The kitchen could do with removing the island as this is too close to the cooker and difficult when more than one person being in that area. Garden is lovely but could do with the toys bRead moreeing out of sight, we usually stay at a property that does not allow children which is brilliant for us. House was nice and warm. Hide

The property is in a peaceful location perfect for travelling to different areas of the Lake District. The house is set in beautiful gardens which we managed to use once due to bad weather which was a real shame. Cozy comfortable house but could do with an update.

This is a gorgeous most tastefully decorated cottage furnished to high standards. Photos are accurate. There is a huge OS map covering the kitchen wall which was terrrific for planning routes and reviewing at end of day. We parked at Dockray pub and walked up Gowbarrow Fell and then a circular route with views of Ullswater then up Aira Force. We waRead morelked from Patterdale to Grasmere and got bus back to Matterdale via Keswick (change in Keswick). Great base for exploring Northern Lakes. Hide

Enjoyed a winter weekend with friends here in this beautiful house. We made ourselves very cosy in the living room, used the log burner and had everything we needed in the kitchen to keep ourselves well fed. We liked the house decor and appreciated the gowns and slippers provided. We didnt spend too long outdoors due to the cold weather but got lucRead moreky with a beautiful view of the stars in the sky on both evenings. Definitely considering booking again for a family visit. Hide

We had the most wonderful week at Fox Hollow. The cottage is unbelievably comfortable and warm with everything we could need to make our stay perfect. The bedrooms were big and comfortable, bathrooms clean and warm with the added luxury of bathrobes! Although late October, the kids loved the garden. I can imagine how perfect the garden is for longeRead morer days and warmer weather. Utility room, washing machine and tumble dryer a god-send! Amanda the housekeeper was fab! The location was great.

Our family had a lovely stay at Fox Hollow. The house is beautifully furnished and in a great location to access Ullswater and some beautiful walks. Unfortunately, due to the weather we werent able to enjoy the wonderful garden but the cosy wood burner was very welcome. We would definitely like to come back again in the future for a longer holiday!

Ideal location. Out of the way. Good for Ullswater and the north lakes. Very comfortable and appointed to a high standard throughout. Really enjoyed our stay. A marker of a good cottage is being sad to leave and I certainly felt that way. We had three young kids. Suitable for them too. We would certainly be happy to return.
