Linda and Martin are exceptional hosts. Everything was accurately presented as what is offered and available. Had delightful conversation with Linda and Martin throughout our stay .. . there's so much to boast about! We were able to check in earlier then expected and able to leave our luggage on the last day so we didn't have to make additional plans there. We were visiting from the States so we had lots of unexpected questions about how things worked around the house. We were met with thorough demonstrations and tons of patience. There were also lots of questions about the must see locations and Linda would come over and share lots of options. There are plenty of maps and brochures available in the entryway so that was also helpful. The location was so convenient as it was a quick walk to Town Center, but sits overlooking Penrith. Cannot say enough good things about our experience at Fell View with Linda and Martin. Would recommend them to any and everyone. Would also like to mention that if you're looking for a great car to hire experience, Eden Garage is the go to for that. They were better priced then the other local options, and they met us at the train station with our car for drop-off and pick-up (both occasions were after hours and that was not a problem). I love supporting local businesses whenever possible.

Group trip
Everything was exceptional with Linda and Martin .. . that are great hosts. There were so many little extra touches that were added that made the stay exceptional. The location is the best you could as for .. . it overlooked beautiful Penrith, but was close to everything. If you're looking for home away from home then go with Fell View. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and if ever back in England, we'll most definitely choose Fell View again.
We were visiting from Texas and Linda and Marting were quick to show us the ins and outs of the unexpected differences in the house. Not only were they thorough, but also patient explaining things.

The home exceeded our expectations and was the perfect base for a long outdoorsy weekend with friends. Linda was super helpful and the kitchen was fully equipped for our stay. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a lovely new year break at Fell View. Locaion was great up on the hill, with views (when it stopped raining) to the Lakes. Keswick is about 30mins away which was ideal. The owners couldn't do enough for us, and were extremely helpful when our car broke down on the last day. Even giving us a lift into town to a carhire company. Would definitely recommend!!

Having stayed a week here, we found it to be a very comfortable holiday home. The place was thoughtfully equipped and particularly good for those staying with dogs. The hosts were friendly, helpful and not far away, should we have required anything. One of our reasons for choosing it was the location, close to a town and of course the Lake District but we also visited places in the Eden Valley. We were lucky enough to enjoy some beautiful sunsets from the decking area at the front, with the view across the fells.

We had a lovely stay. Cottage felt very cozy and homely. We were welcomed personally and felt right at home. Town centre was a 10/15 minute walk and lots of nice places within short drive.

Fell View is a great place and owners Martin and Linda are just brilliant.
House has everything you can ask for - fully equipped kitchen, good wifi, utility room, boxes of games you can play when it rains, BBQ, spacious garden. Whatever you can think of it has it.
This is not just an airbnb holiday rental - It's home away from home. Place you come back to after your adventures at the lakes and you are happy to be there. You feel cozy and welcomed. Not for a single moment you regret being there-Even when it rains!
It is the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed at - from huge field just behind the back garden gate for your four-legged friend to have fun at to all the dog amenities there (washing station, dog bed, toys, towels, treats, bowls and tons more). Linda is also a dog trainer so you can always talk to her about your pet and get useful tips or leave your dog at her care when you go sightseeing.
Then there are the VIEWS and they are stunning.
Can't recommend it enough! 5+

Incredible view in a comfortable home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fell View. It sits high on a hillside and has an incredible view looking over the mountains to the south in the Lake District. You can sit on the front porch and just enjoy the vista! There is also a nice backyard which we didn't get to use. A friend in Manchester had suggested that we had done better if we had booked in Keswick or similar, but we ended up loving being in Penrith. It seemed more like a regular town and not swamped with tourists. There is a short walk into the center of Penrith and plenty of places for groceries in walking distance. There was great access to hikes in the Lake District, the Dales and a trip up to Hadrian's Wall. The home (it is a duplex, and we never heard a sound from next door) is very nicely decorated and has two floors. We loved sitting in the small living room. The bed we used was very comfortable, and we slept well. The kitchen had plenty of cooking gear. There is a washer and dryer, although the latter was out of order but hopefully will be sorted soon. They did have a line dryer (both for inside and in the yard), and we were lucky to have all sunny weather and so not a problem for us. The owners, Martin and Linda, live next door and are very kind. They are available for any questions and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We appreciate staying in rentals that feel like a home, especially for an extended time like this one. We would very happily stay here again.

The Apartment is in a stunning location with breathtaking views. We had everything we needed plus more. Linda and Martin were lovely hosts. It was a huge advantage to have two toilets and bathrooms. The property is very pet friendly and has a wonderful Garden with access to the park behind. The rooms were very neat and clean and comfortable beds.

We stayed 8 nights at Fell View. Excellent place, the house is impeccable, clean, newly refurbished, warm and with all the facilities a family of 5 or 6 with a dog would need. Astonishing views and the owners Martin and Linda were extremely kind and keen to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. A solid 10 out of 10.

Fell View was a lovely getaway for New Years. The scenery is amazing, and they house is incredibly cosy and was perfect for a group of 6 friends and 2 dogs to relax and enjoy New Years celebrations. Linda and Martin were very communicative and ensured we were well looked after, from taking us through the amenities to providing little treats and slippers to relax in the house. The dogs also enjoyed the dog beds provided for them by Linda and Martin too! I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants to relax, enjoys pubs and walking and taking in the views.

A relaxing stay at Fell View over the Christmas period. Well equipped house which has been newly renovated to a high standard. Nice views over the valley and a great location to quickly get into town and onto the main roads for exploring. The owners who live nearby were helpful in answering any questions we had. Certainly would choose to stay again. Thanks!
