Take your friends, family and four-legged companion to this attractive holiday home in the Lake District’s Chapel Stile. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom retreat sits in immaculate, lawned gardens and offers generous accommodation. Situated almost 5 miles from Ambleside, it is well positioned for the many outdoor opportunities of Lake Windermere, as well as the National Trust’s Tarn Hows, 6 miles away, and Coniston Water.

Pull off your wellies or walking boots in the porch and head into the capacious lounge/kitchen/diner. This airy, light space has ample room for everyone to spread out after your many adventures. Sit back on the soft seating in the lounge to watch TV or listen to music. Whip up delicious home-cooked meals in the kitchen with the Cumbrian produce you have found on your trips out; enjoy lively meals together at the table. There is also a family shower room and a useful utility room downstairs. Make your way up to the first floor at the end of each fabulous day away to enjoy a relaxing night’s sleep in either of the two king-size bedrooms, the twin or the bunk room. One of the king-size rooms has an en-suite shower room and the twin has single beds that are longer than normal. There is also a family bathroom up here. Spill out into the sunshine of the lovely leafy garden to play games with the children or chat over a bottle of wine. Light the BBQ on warm summer evenings and sit out under the stars.

Step straight out from the cottage to enjoy long walks and cycle rides. Discover the Langdale Valley and the Langdale Peaks and climb Loughrigg Fell, 2 miles away. Venture 5 miles to Waterhead to hire boats to take out on Windermere or to explore the lake on an organised cruise.

This is the perfect pet friendly property for a large family stay. The layout of the house, garden and driveway was spot on with excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities - could have stayed forever if only!

this property is in a prime spot, however make sure you close the gates and secure with a stone as the sheep are rather cheeky and head butt the gates until they open. One negative was cars parking opposite the gates making it rather difficult getting out. However, this property has everything needed, the garden is great for children and secure fRead moreor dogs, just watch out for the sheep poo Would book this cottage again for the family holiday in the lakes Hide

Really enjoyed the holiday, only comment I would make to improve the property is to install some outside lighting at the back of the property, as you couldnt see a thing when you let the dogs out on a night.

Lovely place, very clean, perfect base for the Lake District. Nice essentials in welcome pack. Some basics such as salt, pepper, cling film, foil, etc would be really useful. Car charger very useful as this was our first holiday with an electric car. Very comfortable bed. As far as the property is concerned, Id have no problem to recommend. The cRead moreompany was very efficient with notifications, etc so that was much appreciated. Thank you. My only reluctance to recommend Original Cottages as a company is the lack of cancellation scale. Every other holiday cottage Ive booked has had a percentage scale for cancellations. We booked with a 100 deposit but did not notice in the T&Cs that, regardless, youre liable for the full holiday amount, even if you need to cancel months in advance. This seems very one sided and unfair as a contract, particularly as even if the property is re-let, the refund is only given at the companys discretion. Ive never had to cancel but Ive always been happier with the peace of mind that there is a sliding scale. Hide
