    “Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.”

    That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and ...

    That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

The property

Chapel Stile 0.7 miles.

Woodloft Cottage is a charming single-storey dwelling located in the remote Cumbrian village of Elterwater, close to Chapel Stile.

The cottage sleeps two people, ideal for a romantic getaway, and is well situated within the Lake District National Park, just a short drive from Lake Windermere and its plethora of attractions.

Feel at home as you enter the spacious open-plan living area, which is surrounded by historic beamed ceilings.

Prepare delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, gather around the dining table, and cosy up in front of the electric fire. Discover the conservatory on bright days, where you can opt to eat outside or just relax with a few drinks while the sun sets.

Step into the king-size bedroom, which has a notable iron bed frame and plenty of storage, before a quick refresh in the contemporary shower room in the morning. Don't forget your walking shoes and make your way to Chapel Stile, where you'll find a variety of services to satisfy your self-catering stay as well as the opportunity to explore the Skelwith Force waterfall, Wordsworth Grasmere Museum, and Cathedral Cave, all excellent for touring.

Enjoy walks through Borrans Park on your way to Ambleside, with walks adjoining Lake Windermere, or stop to see the splendour of Stock Ghyll Force, a 70-foot waterfall.

The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, Hill Top Beatrix Potter House, Wray Castle, Windermere Lake Cruises, and Treetop Lake District are among the top attractions in Windermere, which is a must-see on your travels.

Enjoy all of this with Woodloft Cottage as your abode.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CHAPEL STILE

Ambleside and Grasmere 4.5 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 9.5 miles.

A delightful, rural village nestled right in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park. Chapel Stile is an excellent hidden gem, set at the bottom of a stunning valley, flanked on one side by the River Brathay, surrounded by incredible scenery and filled with wonderful slate and stone buildings. The village offers a traditional church from the mid 1800's as well as a café, a pub and a village shop that has stood for well over 100 years. Chapel Stile is a great base for exploring this National Park, with easy access to a number of sights and fells worth visiting. You must go to the lovely neighbouring village of Elterwater and stand on the Skelwith Bridge and simply take in the views. Nearby are the fantastic Lake District towns of Ambleside and Kendal are withing a short driving distance, offering excellent views, buildings and so much to do. For you outdoors people, make sure you visit Bowness-on-Windermere, with its incredible lake activities and so much to do; it's perfect for families.
