Lingmoor View

The only reason for 8 is the hill up to the property which is very steep but if you are very mobile it's not a problem, the views from the lounge window over the valley are spectacular.

Couldn’t fault this lovely property.

It was clean comfortable and warm , also very peaceful and everything you would need for a perfect holiday was provided and more. The beds we found were extremely comfortable .The views from the lounge were great and it was lovely to watch all the birds on the bird feeders and the views of the Langdale Pikes from the garden are stunning. Lots of walks to do from the door and there is a good pub which is within walking distance of the cottage ( maybe a little steep on the return up the lane but doable) .There is also a useful village shop and cafe in the charming village of Chapel Stile .

Perfect base for our family for exploring the Lake District.

We were extremely comfortable. Beds were very good, plenty of space for the four of us, kitchen well equipped, two fridges and large freezer were useful, showers powerful and hot. We would love to return.

Very comfortable well equipped cottage in a great location we didn't have to use the car all week but did make use of the local buses to do some linear walks.

The local shop has anything you need and we bought bird seed and were rewarded with a daily display by many species of birds plus a tiny wood mouse. A good base for walking in the area.

Lingmoor View turned out to be a real gem of a cottage.

Honestly, our first impressions on arriving outside weren't great, as the building didn't look all that strong structurally and we were a little worried about security for our valuables, especially as the main access is hidden from view and unlit. But that was our only real concern. The cottage itself was exceptionally well equipped, with everything we needed. We cooked everyday and found nothing lacking in the kitchen; plentiful crockery was available, which meant being able to fill up the dishwasher instead of having to continually wash up cups and mugs. The rooms were cosy and warm, a welcome respite from the very wet weather outside! Hot water was plentiful for showers and the odd bath. There were loads of usefully-placed power points - no need for the extension leads we brought with us! The view of the Langdale Pikes from the garden was stunning, though sadly the weather was not on our side when it came to sitting outside. A lovely touch though were the bird-feeders. Having seen a previous comment about them, we brought some bird seed and nuts with us and were rewarded with beautiful songbirds every day - and on the last 3 mornings, a red squirrel! Though not a problem for us, the steep access road to the cottage could potentially be a really problem in wintry conditions. And although leaving a car at the bottom may be a viable option for some, unloading lots of gear and carting it up the hill by hand would be too much for most people. Would I book this cottage again? Yes, definitely - but not in the winter months.

A very nice and comfortable cottage in a beautiful valley, there is nothing else needed for a great stay.

Thank you for a no complaints stay.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage: the views are great, it was clean, has everything one needs, lots of windows to let the light in, and one hardly needs a car: lovely walks start at your doorstep and there's a Co-op within walking distance.

Please be aware that the driveway to the cottage is steep and that the number of towels for a 2-week stay is rather limited (2 per person).

We had a wonderful week in this cottage, which was clean, warm and comfortable with wonderful views.

We had a problem with our car on the last night Sykes out of office team, the local office and the owner were extremely kind and helpful allowing us to book an extra night at very last minute whilst we got the car sorted out. Thank you all and we will definitely return here.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

The views are amazing from Lingmoor and within easy reach of the village shop and pubs

Lovely, comfortable property in a fabulous location.

Beautiful views. Shop & pub within a short walk. Lots of great walks straight from the property in all directions. Car parking behind property which is great though not so good in icy, snowy weather as the access road is very steep. We did manage to find a space at the bottom of the hill before the snow came. Only hiccup was our gas ran out at 6.30pm on New Years Eve. 4 bottles outside but all empty. We contacted the number for out of hours problems and they rang me back within 20 minutes. Everyone pulled out all the stops and surprisingly we had a gas delivery at 10.30pm. Thank you to all. This was excellent service but really think its a bit crazy to let all the bottles run out, especially in the middle of winter in the Lake District. Sadly we will not be able to return to this property as they no longer accept dogs. This is a real shame and wonder what has happened to instigate this change.

Very pleased with the cottage as a whole, but found the beds uncomfortable.

The double had dips both sides and I had to turn it around on the frame to make it slightly better, please replace this. Otherwise would love to stay again but unfortunately can’t as the cottage no longer accepts dogs.

The week at Lingmoor View was excellent.

This was probably the cleanest, best equipped and most comfortable cottage I have stayed in. The location is excellent with very easy access to paths to the surrounding valley and fells.

We put out the bin the night before it was due to be collected but it was still full at the end of the collection day.

A lovely fortnight spent at Lingmoor View.

Very comfortable and well equipped.

Lovely property in an amazing location.

South facing, your own personal view of Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes (I believe they’re called). Parking very good and only several metres from the property. Fully equipped cottage with upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Will more than likely try to book this property again.

Fantastic location with stunning views and in the perfect location for exploring the surrounding area.

Only a short walk to the pub and village shop. Beautiful cottage and very well stocked, both with kitchen equipment, and the odd bits and pieces you find you might need while you are away. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there already, even small items like a pencil, or a bit of tape to remove a stuck camera battery. Everything was in good condition.

Second visit here.

Started badly as the keysafe code given was wrong and no mobile signal!!! Fortunately the French windows were unlocked so we sorted the nimber out next day. Great cottage , never used the car all week and the bird life outside was superb.

Just got back from fantastic stay in this cottage, very well equipped, very comfortable and lots of walks from the front door.

Only fault had with the holiday was that it rained all week!

Comfortable cosy accommodation.

Beds very comfortable and loved the wool duvets. Fabulous views from the elevated position. Disappointed that a small maintenance issue wasn’t addressed in a timely manner however we managed despite the inconvenience. We would be happy to come again.

Cottage was very well equipped, warm and comfortable.

Views were outstanding from the garden. Lots of positives could be listed. We found the private access road to be a big issue. It is extremely steep (1st gear steep) and has a pothole at the top. Our car struggled, with 4 passengers, so inevitably we had to leave our car in the bottom carpark. This meant a steep climb with bags, etc, everytime we went anywhere. Not ideal in the rain. The shared garden also has no gates (so not secure) and a big drop on one section. It does tell you to supervise your dog but we had to put ours on a lead everytime we let her out as she is inquisitive. Some fresh milk would have been lovely after a long drive. There were 3 mini cartons left in a tea caddy but that wouldn't have even made us one drink.

We absolutely loved the cottage, the surrounding country side was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views across to the fells.

The cottage too was wonderful. Great walks in the area too really added to the experience and so near to Ambleside and within easy reach to so many place.

High quality stay as on previous occasions in this very well equipped cottage.

Only minor issue is that scales for weighing food are VERY inaccurate. On demand hot water proved very useful - not least for warming us up when coming in out of the rain! It was nice of the RAF to arrange a very low fly-past of 4 of their jets for us on the Thursday morning - certainly shook the foundations!

Generally a lovely place to come home to after a busy day out.

The only real negative was the slightly 'functional' look to the downstairs bedroom. The shelving at both the foot of the bed and the kitchen side of the bedroom looked like the kind of thing you'd see in a garage, which combined with the adjoining utility room did make the bedroom feel a little like an afterthought rather than the main sleeping area. Just a few changes here would make a huge difference. Don't want to moan too much, though - the rest of the property was perfectly fine. :-)

Lovely time would recommend, steep drive but worth it .

Enjoyed our stay (again).

..no issues...a lovely week!

Was a lovely place, really well equipped, clean and comfortable.

Amazing views with some interesting wildlife visiting (sheep in the morning). Hopefully book again for next year!

This was one of the best cottages we have rented in the Lakes.

Comfortable sitting room with enough light for reading, very well equipped kitchen, sunny garden with lovely views. Our only criticism is the lack of garden furniture for outdoor dining: despite the cottage being advertised for 4 people, it was barely possible for 2 to eat outdoors using the tiny and very uncomfortable 'bistro' set. The cottage needs an outdoor dining table for 4.

What a perfect cottage, lovely and comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well equipped all in all perfect!

Just 2 points we used the cooker and washing machine but couldn’t find any instructions but we did eventually we found them in the middle draw of the window seat, would have been better left out!! The other point which is not the owners fault is the steep drive, anyone with walking difficulties might have trouble managing the climb but all in all a perfect cottage with amazing views, we will be booking again!

We had a problem with the front door lock during our stay it was fixed the same day.

Lovely comfortable cottage very clean, wonderful views ideal location for walkers.

Will definitely return

Great location and a really comfortable and well equipped holiday cottage.

Fantastic view over the valley to Lingmoor Fell.An excellent base for exploring the area on foot and by bike ! We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another year

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Perfect week away!

Another glorious week in this comfortable, warm, well-equipped and well-maintained little house.

So restful, and brilliantly located. Walks straight out of the door.

The property is lovely with everything that was needed and fabulous views.

My issue is with the marketing of the property. It is advertised as dog friendly with a shared garden. The garden is mentioned more than once and is indeed a fabulous place. However when you get to the property there are large signs saying dogs aren’t to be in the garden. This should be made very clear at the point of booking. As a dog owner I would never book a property without access to a garden. I book cottages several times a year and have never encountered this. At best this is an oversight, at worst it is deliberately miss leading. I loved the cottage but no longer have any faith in the company.

It’s a shame that guest Christine found the house dirty… when we stayed in the property it was spotless throughout.

Faultless! We used public transport to get to the cottage and did all our walking straight out of the door. This is a real plus for this beautiful cottage. Usually in rental properties there are some store cupboard items like oil and sugar … but there is literally nothing at all except salt so … useful to know that you need to bring everything! However there is a very well equipped food shop and great cafe above it in the village, a couple of pubs AND A COCKTAIL BAR - which must be visited. Loved the place so much we re-booked for two weeks later! Phone service brilliant.

Views excellent, location great, walks straight from the door, cannot fault.

We are regulars to staying in the village of Chapel Stile several times a year hence we know the area very well. Appliances in the property were very good and worked well, unfortunately though the overall standard throughout was not, the armchairs and couch are dirty, we put our own covers over so we could use the couch, the dining table chairs are filthy with food and stains. Housekeeping was terrible bins not emptied in the main bedroom and bathroom (had been left full of sanitary products!) had to clean before we could unpack, this property needs to have deep cleaning carried out before it is let again.

Great property and location.

No complaints whatsoever. Really well furnished and very clean. We will be back for another holiday here. FYI the refuse was not collected on Thursday and now there are two full bins which might concern the next party in the property. Also, the ensuite toilet's overflow is running into the bowl which won't concern guests but could add to the owner's water bill.

Position of and views from the cottage were superb.

Ideal for walking in the fells( or to the pub) without using the car. Well equipped and comfortable accommodation although second bedroom had height restrictions.

Perfect, well equipped cottage with dreamy views and excellent walks straight from the front door.

Everything was great and we had a wonderful time,clean comfortable well equipped,warm,fantastic views and great location .

We will return

An excellent rental, lovely views and really well looked after.

Good provision of cooking utensils and the washing machine was super. The heating remained a mystery all week..either too hot or not on unless boosted but boost was set at 3 hours which then overheated the house. All four of us adults tried to make the tumble dryer work, using the instructions but it did not dry anything. We were otherwise extremely pleased and would happily book again.

Having the information folder hidden in an obscure storage basket on arrival was not helpful - we found it on our last day.

Only downside on cleanliness was not down to your cleaners but previous occupants had left greasy utensils and roasting tray which was disappointing. Other than that cottage was excellent and the stunning views more than made up for the excitingly steep access road! Would be well worth mentioning to occupants the footpath which can be accessed just up the road to the quarry which saves the steep descent/ascent if walking into the village.

Excellent cottage in a stunning location extremely well equipped presented and maintained.

Definitely re-visit.

The hill leading up to the cottage should be classed as very steep as it requires 1st gear to get up as you cannot get a run at it.

Excellent holiday in excellent location in excellent property!

Only slight issue regarding bins (not clear which bin belonged to which property) and our bin being full to the brim when we arrived on Sat with no collection until end of week. We popped into the Keswick Office on the Monday just to advise of the issue - the 2 ladies staffing the office were very helpful.

Absolutely super cottage, better than the pictures and the views couldn't be better.

Reaching customer services has proved to hard at various times before and during the stay.

The cottage equipment was extremely good ,the one little niggle was that we found the crockery rather large and heavy but we are both in our eighties , a directional reading lamp would have been appreciated, apart from that, the cottage was the best equipped we have stayed in,I felt that the owners must have stayed there to know what was needed, and we enjoyed very much the elevated position with open views of the nearby fells .
