Situated on the fringes of the Lake District National Park between Penrith and Keswick, Fell View provides comfortable accommodation in the foothills of Blencathra Fell in Whitbarrow Village, Berrier near Greystoke. Constructed, furnished and equipped to a high standard, the first floor apartment has open countryside views and is a peaceful base to return to after exploring the Lake District. With an open plan design, the apartment has a spacious super king size bed with comfortable mattress topper, lounge with a sofa bed, armchair and 50" smart TV with freeview channels, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The dining area and fully-equipped kitchenette has everything you need and even extras like egg cups and a cafetiere. It has a 2-ring electric hob, mini oven, microwave, dishwasher, full size fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, toaster, slow cooker and steamer. Bedding and towels are provided in addition to dishwasher tablets, soap, kitchen roll, washing up liquid and tea and coffee for the first day or two. The bathroom has twin sinks and a shower over a large bath. The north-east facing balcony is accessed through French doors and is a relaxing place to sit with your morning coffee and take in the country air and peaceful surroundings. The only vehicle you will hear is a very occasional tractor as you are far removed from any road traffic. To unwind you have complimentary use of the shared indoor swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna and gym and if you want to take a break from cooking, there is an on-site restaurant offering dine in or food to takeaway. These facilities are in the same building as the apartment, so close enough to not have to put a coat on to reach them, but far enough away to not hear the chatter of any people using them. There is also a giant outdoor chess / draughts board, games room with table football, a pool table, cinema room, Playstation room, outdoor play area, 9-hole putting green and an 18-hole mini golf course.

There is a quiet lounge to relax and enjoy drinks in, there are board games and books and two desks for workspace. There are 4 electric vehicle charging points on site. The apartment is within easy travelling distance of Ullswater, Keswick and Windermere and is a great base to explore the Lake District, especially if you’re looking for hotel amenities with the flexibility of self-catering. The pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room and gym are open from 8am -7.45pm every day (the last 45 minutes of the day are an adult only swim session).

There is also a DVD player with a selection of DVDs and a digital clock radio with bluetooth speaker, wireless phone charger and USB port. For the warmer days and nights when we have the occasional heatwave there is a portable fan.
