Enjoy the relaxing ambience of this inviting cottage in Chapel Stile at the centre of the Lake District. Sleeping six guests, this three-storey, three-bedroom abode is in an ideal position for anyone wishing to visit Coniston Water, Windermere and Ullswater. In a village setting, 4.5 miles from Ambleside and 3 miles from Grasmere, it has a delightful, lawned garden and is happy to welcome four-legged friends.
Leave your walking boots and hang your jackets in the porch, then wander into the hall to discover this retreat has a reverse-level design. A king-size bedroom and a twin, both with en-suite shower rooms, are downstairs, together with a family bathroom. The twin bedroom features extra long single beds. Venture upstairs to find an inviting, first-floor lounge/kitchen/diner with an airy ambience. Head over to the modern kitchen area to cater for your party on those occasions you choose to dine in, then set the table for happy holiday meals together. Gather on the soft seating afterwards to watch the Smart TV or listen to music as you play games. There is also a family bathroom at this level. Head on up to the second floor to find the third bedroom, which is another lovely twin. Spend sunny days out in the attractive garden, where there is ample space for children and pups to play. Dine out on the patio here and linger over a bottle of wine as the sun sets.
Head into scenic Grasmere to see the former home of poet William Wordsworth. While you are here, make a stop to buy some of the village’s renowned gingerbread. Visit the National Trust’s Wray Castle, 6 miles away, on the banks of Windermere. Board a cruise out from the jetty here to enjoy more of the national park’s incredible scenery from the water.
