An attractive stone cottage perched in a blissful countryside setting near the village of Chapel Stile in the heart of the Lake District, this scenic retreat is perfect for outdoor-loving families or groups with the dog in tow. Embark on a stroll along the light-dappled woodland trail following the water’s edge of Grasmere Waterfall Walkways (3 miles), then return home to enjoy an evening tipple in the sun-soaked garden that awaits.
This elegant property features a bright interior with dark wooden beams, crisp neutral tones, and contemporary clean lines. Slip off muddy boots and hang coats in the entrance, before stepping into the airy kitchen to whip up a hearty post-adventure feast. Move through to the lounge/diner and settle in for supper gathered around the glass table. After dinner, sink into the plush corner sofa with dessert and debrief on the day, before watching your favourite films on the large TV. When night turns to day, retire to the inviting bedrooms; a king-size room and double bedroom that both benefit from the well-equipped family bathroom. On warm evenings, open the patio doors and enjoy al fresco drinks and meals on the furnished patio space, whilst dogs and little ones play safely in the enclosed and scenic garden that is shared with the neighbouring properties.
Admire the signature blue-grey stone buildings as you saunter the streets of Chapel Stile (0.5 miles) and swing by the historic Holy Trinity Church. Embark on a hike through the rugged landscape of Langdale Pikes (2.5 miles) or enjoy a gentler pace with an amble along the Great Langdale Beck (2 miles). For days spent in quintessential Lake District towns and villages, visit Coniston and its famous lake (7 miles), the market village of Hawkshead (8 miles), and one of the region’s most popular towns, Windermere (9 miles).
