Location
This fabulous self-catering holiday cottage in Chapel Stile is a rare treat, just a few minutes' stroll from the tiny village's general store, cafe, historic church and pub restaurant. Chapel Stile's Wainwright's Inn is a quintessential Lake District pub, with flagged floors, real Lakeland ale and cosy open fire.

Chapel Stile is located in the blissfully unspoilt Langdale Valley, past Elterwater village and tarn. But despite the remote-feeling atmosphere, Chapel Stile village is only 4 miles from Ambleside, a vibrant Lakeland village on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. There you'll find sophisticated shops, acclaimed Lake District restaurants, plenty of choice for an evening out and tempting delis for stocking up the kitchen. Ambleside's tourist information centre is also a useful port of call.
From Ambleside at Waterhead Pier, you can take a steamer cruise on Lake Windermere to visit Bowness or Lakeside - two other popular Lake District holiday destinations.

From your holiday cottage in the Langdale Valley you'll enjoy a wealth of walking in every direction. From leisurely strolls to Elterwater tarn, to challenging routes on the famous Langdale Pikes, walkers will be spoilt for choice. From Chapel Stile, a pleasant first outing takes you down the peaceful road running into the Langdale Valley, arriving at the Old Dungeon Ghyll walkers' bar. There you'll find the perfect place to soak up the remote and unspoilt scenery for the first time.
