Property code: OC-GL133

Wake up to stunning valley views in this traditional Lakeland cottage, set back from the main road in an elevated position. A former quarry worker’s home, this terraced property sits on the outskirts of Chapel Stile with far-reaching views across the valley to Lingmoor Fell. With ample accommodation for four guests, this dog-friendly cottage makes a great base for couples, families and groups of friends that love to be immersed in nature and outdoors activities.

Step inside this two-storey abode to be enveloped in warmth and cosiness. With its traditional slate flooring, warming wood burner and comfortable seating, the lounge invites rest and relaxation after a day on the trails. The light-filled kitchen/diner has everything you need to whip up hearty home-cooked meals, and savour your creations over a bottle of wine. The main bathroom is downstairs, while upstairs two bedrooms – one double and one twin – invite a restful night’s sleep, with lovely views to wake up to in the morning. The double bedroom offers delightful views of the valley and a handy en-suite WC. Outside, a shared lawn is the perfect spot to savour a quiet morning cuppa.

The tranquil village of Chapel Stile has a shop and pub within 0.5 miles, with more choice in the nearby village of Elterwater (just over a mile). The vibrant market town of Ambleside (just over 5 miles) offers abundant activities and attractions. Delightful trails such as those leading to Loughrigg Fell and Stock Ghyll Force (both within 6 miles) mean it’s a paradise for walkers, while its location at the northern tip of Lake Windermere is perfect for water-based activities such as boat trips, sailing and paddleboarding.

Tabithas cottage is well located for exploring the local area with a cosy kitchen/living area for relaxing after a long day walking. I would stay again if there were improvements to the main bedroom as the bed was extremely old and uncomfortable. Cleanliness wasnt up to our expectations, a deep clean is necessary.

The cottage is in an exceptional position. There are great walks from the cottage and there is a local shop in the village. Every Holiday cottage with this company has been very clean with clean towels and bedding .

Fantastic location with great walks and climbs from the doorstep. Easy walk to a good pub serving food and a co-op. Warm and comfortable cottage- good mattresses and bedding which is always a bonus. Bijou in size but we expected that and had a lovely week.

A really lovely cottage with a great aspect and easy access to the fells using a small path next to the cottages. The Pub and village shop were a short walk on road and then the Cumbria Way. There were plenty of choices of walking direct from the cottage, and it was beautiful whichever way you decided to go.

Lovely cosy, welcoming cottage. Comfy beds and sofas. Appreciated large fluffy bath sheets, and lots of hooks and hangers. Thanks too for the garden chairs for sitting outside to take in the incredible view of the Langdale Pikes from outside the front door. Everything needed supplied. Great stay.
