We spent last week at Fountain Cottage and what a perfect week it was! The cottage is all we could have wished for and more, cosy, warm, and clean with stunning views and surroundings. We love the balcony, and it was used frequently to view the sky at night with our newly acquired telescope. The weather was lovely and warm with only a couple of showers, and even then sun always followed. The local sheep wander around the village and seemed to like the grass outside the kitchen window at the church gate. The co op is just down the road,and very well stocked. We walked along the riverside to the Brittania Inn and Maple cafe, about 15 minutes away but took longer as we were taking photos and sitting by the water enjoying the experience. We ate at the Wainwright's Inn mostly as only 5 minutes walk and very good food, ale, and roaring fire. It gets busy on weekend evenings but we could always find a table and didn't have to wait long for our meals. We had a meal one evening at Stove on the Langdale estate and what absolutely beautiful surroundings there, highly recommended! Don't forget to take a torch with you to light the way along the dark road if you walk down. We visited Ambleside and had lunch at The Fulling Mill which was lovely. We had coffee and cake at The Bluebird cafe on the lakeside at Coniston. We went to Kendal, Ullswater, Windermere, in fact where didn't we go!
Belinda and Simon have supplied all the information you could need in the cottage, along with many books, games, even binoculars. and a torch (see above). Oh and not forgetting the cookies, tea, and coffee left for us. Thank you!
Highly recommend this perfectly located cottage and would love to visit again.
