Hello we are Brian and Alison Smith, the owners of Woodside and Fell View cottages  in Lake District. We manage Low Mill for our neighbours Carl and Nikki.  In the image we are sitting in Fell View’s local pub in Allithwaite! -The Pheasant.

Why Fell View in Allithwaite ?

After many years of holidaying in the Lake District,in 2001 we decided to buy Fell View. We love the Southern Lakes and in particular Grange over Sands and Cartmel.  Allithwaite seemed to have everything we needed. A fabulous pub to walk to, great walks from the front door, a village shop for that all important pint of milk and loaf of bread, a children’s play area and a tennis court!

It was ideal for our family, and I am sure everyone who stays would say it is a wonderful location and ideal for them!

Why Woodside?

Then in 2009 ago we saw Woodside and fell in love with the cottage and its location. Woodside was a real labour of love as it had been unchanged since the late 1960’s! I love old buildings and very much enjoy bringing them back to life, Woodside was crying out for just that! So in 2009, we bought Woodside and over several months transformed it, into what you see today.

Woodside is in a peaceful woodland valley, and as a result you look out onto quiet lanes and trees. If you want to recharge your batteries, have long scenic walks, then this is the place for you!

What’s special about our cottages?

Our aim is to make your stay as luxurious and comfortable as possible. In equipping our cottages we have chosen high quality furnishings and fixtures and we have tried to provide everything you will need to have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Each room at our cottages has been meticulously designed with a unique colour scheme and furnishings. We have just three bedrooms at Woodside and two bedrooms at Fell View which means we can pay attention to every detail. Many guests say we have thought of everything, I hope you would agree.
We are a small business so it’s easy for us to combine a personal touch with high standards .
Every inch of our rooms were designed and crafted by us using quality, hand-selected furnishings and colour coordinated schemes.
We wanted our accommodation to ooze warmth and comfort to ensure you have a memorable stay. All rooms have quality carefully selected beds for a good night’s sleep and topped with layers of quality linen to sink into at the end of the day. You’ll also be treated to fluffy towels at Woodside and if booked, at Fell View.
You can unwind with free wifi, or simply sit at the table by the window with a tea, coffee or wine and play games. What could be better?

Our gardens

Oh, and did I mention the gardens? You’ll be surprised at what wanders or swoops across them. And of course I must mention the peace and quiet. Both cottages are in peaceful locations with plenty of bird song to enjoy!
