A real gem of a cottage. So much to do without even getting in your car. Beautiful walks, friendly pub, village shop and cafe. If you enjoy nature this is for you.

We had an amazing stay at Braegarth. The gardens were beautiful and well tended. We enjoyed spending time in them exploring or taking in the views and wildlife. Having two streams and a waterfall in the garden was a first for us! The house is spacious and well equipped with lovely views from all of the windows. With comfortable beds and modern bathRead morerooms, Braegarth is everything you need for a relaxing stay in this stunning part of the Lake District. We also enjoyed the free membership for the pool and gym at the local Langdale hotel, The chilled cava was a welcome treat on our arrival too, thanks again for a great week! Hide

Excellent location if you are into walking. Large well kept house and garden with everything you could possibly need. A good nearby pub serving food and a really well stocked village shop in Chapel Stile.
