    “Having stayed at St Giles at least 6 times over the past few years we were so pleased to see what a great make over the new owners had done!”

    The bathrooms were quite luxurious now and all bedrooms very comfortable, clean and a lovely touch to have gorgeous toiletries available. The cottage was also beautifully warm, which was most appreciated after some long winter hiking. We were disappointed not to have the Leisure Passes available as on previous visits but understand why this was not now an option. Only thing which was a slight problem (and did leave a small note for housekeeping) was the freezer compartment within the fridge ...

    The bathrooms were quite luxurious now and all bedrooms very comfortable, clean and a lovely touch to have gorgeous toiletries available. The cottage was also beautifully warm, which was most appreciated after some long winter hiking. We were disappointed not to have the Leisure Passes available as on previous visits but understand why this was not now an option. Only thing which was a slight problem (and did leave a small note for housekeeping) was the freezer compartment within the fridge was totally frozen up and therefore unable to use at all. Would have been helpful to just pop a few things in and certainly needed doing the summer months. Also, perhaps might be worth noting for future guests that although it does state 2 car parking spaces the one outside the front door is extremely tight, especially if you have a larger vehicle. You need to park very tightly up against the wall and this could be quite an issue for St Giles guests (should there be 2 vehicle spaces needed) and/or occupants of the cottage driveway directly opposite to try and manoeuvre in or out. Otherwise, enjoyed a lovely holiday and hope to return soon. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments. We will let the management team aware of your comments so they can resolve the freezer problem. We are really glad that you appreciated the new changes to the property and that you would like to return. We look forward to welcome you back in the future.

The property

Nestling in the heart of picturesque Elterwater village, near Chapel Stile, this traditional stone-built cottage, St Giles, has much to offer the Lake District visitor and will make an ideal base from which to explore the wonderful walking and majestic scenery in the surrounding Langdale area. There is much to challenge the serious walkers with some of the finest high fell walks easily accessible in the central fells and for easier days you can enjoy delightful riverside rambles, two good pubs and various tea shops within walking distance. Chapel Stile (about 1 mile) has a well-stocked village shop with everything for your holiday needs. Accommodation: This interesting cottage is a conversion of stables belonging to the former (19thC) Gunpowder Works. Front door entrance via a few steps up to new patio area and then a further couple of steps into the entrance hallway where there is space for outdoor gear. Two steps down lead into the open plan kitchen/sitting dining room (open fire, Wi-Fi, TV, DVD) which has pleasant views from its south facing window. There are two ground-floor bedrooms accessed from the hallway, a Twin and King and a useful shower room (shower, basin and WC). Upstairs you will find a comfortable double-bedded room with interesting roof lines and pretty views across the valley. The family bathroom has a bath, hand-held shower, basin and WC. St. Giles is homely without being trendy; inviting and well-equipped for holiday use, whilst retaining much of its original character. It has been popular for many years with those looking for a central location from which to explore the National Park and to enjoy the fine scenery in any season of the year. Outside: Patio area with seating to the side of the house. Parking: Guests can park either on the road in front of the garage or tucked in immediately in front of the property front door. Pub approximately 100 yards, local bus stop in the village, village shop half a mile. Choose St Giles for a countryside escape to Cumbria.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.

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.
