A six-bedroom country house built for unhurried recovery, hearty breakfasts, and quiet evenings after long ridge walks.
Woven Herdwick wool blankets, undyed Portuguese linen, and stone sills framing the ridge. Built without television or clutter for deep recovery after long valley walks.
£210 / night
Two first-floor chambers facing the southern crags. Fitted with super-king oak frames, deep-soak tin bathtubs positioned beneath the eaves, and bespoke wool throws milled in Cumbria.
£185 / night
Two flagstone-floored suites opening directly onto the lower walled lawn and fellside gate. Designed for walkers with muddy paws, including a warm boot wash, dog blankets, and outdoor drying rack.
£165 / night
Two secluded rooms tucked beneath the larch roof beams. Compact, quiet, and centered around a cushioned window seat looking north toward the valley beck.
Cooked Cumbrian breakfast, afternoon tea kettle in the drawing room, and open access to the boot drying room with route maps for tomorrow morning.
The Morning Kitchen
Breakfast at Fellside House is hearty, unhurried, and included with every overnight stay. We cook each morning order to order over heavy iron skillets, setting you up properly before you lace your boots for the high ridgelines.
Coarse-ground Cumberland sausage seasoned with black pepper, dry-cured streaky bacon, and golden-yolk farmhouse eggs collected from nearby valley pastures.
Thick country loaves griddled in salted butter, accompanied by damson preserves, churned Lake District butter, and roasted field mushrooms.
Freshly ground dark roast coffee pressed at the table, loose leaf breakfast tea, and pressed orchard apple juice served continuously from eight.
Leave car keys on the hall hook. Fellside House borders open fell common, offering immediate paths onto quiet ridgelines, glacial valley tarns, and sheltered beck crossings.
8.5 miles / 4.5 hours / Steep fell track
Climb directly from our rear drystone boundary through purple bracken toward the high tarn basin. The route tops out along an airy slate crest before descending along the old sheep trod into the valley.
4.2 miles / 2 hours / Graded gravel path
A gentler circular walk tracing the tumbling clear water of the beck through ancient moss-carpeted woodland. Passes three deep natural bathing pools before looping back through traditional slate-walled meadows.
2.1 miles / 50 minutes / Soft turf
The house favorite before supper. Follow the lower pasture boundary to the western viewpoint over the water as the light fades across the opposite fells, returning by the kitchen herb border.
Underfloor heated slate drying racks, boot warmers, Ordnance Survey sheets, and warm towels for damp dogs ready after every outing.
With only six bedrooms, every reservation is handled directly by our team. We prepare your room according to your fell plans, dietary preferences, and boot sizes.
We observe a two-night minimum for weekend stays spanning Friday and Saturday. Single-night stays are welcomed Monday through Thursday.
Two dedicated ground-floor rooms accommodate well-behaved dogs with direct courtyard access, dog towels, and warm water wash stations.
Full cooked Cumbrian breakfast, house sourdough, and fresh filter coffee are included with every room reservation.
Heated drying room access, locked cycle storage, and trail route maps annotated for local weather conditions.
