    “This is a very cosy comfortable cottage - we had a really nice week, despite some of the worst weather the Lakes could throw at us with Storm Debbie, and in truth it rained every day after that, and we walked every day, but we were warm and comfortable when we got back.”

    The Wainwright is very close and it does the best onion rings in the world, and it takes dogs (not to cook them...). It's quite spacious and furnished in a welcoming way, the sofas are modern but they are soft and plump, not petite and bony. So you can really relax there. The 2 bathrooms and kitchen have been superbly refurbished, very spacious, with underfloor heating, and excellent showers and a bath. The beds were comfortable.

    The Wainwright is very close and it does the best onion rings in the world, and it takes dogs (not to cook them...). It's quite spacious and furnished in a welcoming way, the sofas are modern but they are soft and plump, not petite and bony. So you can really relax there. The 2 bathrooms and kitchen have been superbly refurbished, very spacious, with underfloor heating, and excellent showers and a bath. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was also roomy, smart and well equipped with a full four seater table. NB The car park is tight if you have a long car - (someone smashed the rear light of my parked car overnight, presumably whilst reversing out of the car park) - but it is unusual and really useful to have off-road parking in Chapel Stile meaning you can walk from the door - just make sure you pull in as close to the wall as possible. The only improvement I would suggest and it is only a minor suggestion is more coat hooks for wet walking gear, maybe in the front door alcove, although the downstairs bathroom is an excellent drying room! (Perhaps the house was too warm, that's my only other minus - the heater in the living room was pre-programmed to 24C. This was roasting, especially as it is possible easily to get a roaring fire going. This tropical temperature must be costing the owners a fortune!) All in all an excellent place to stay and we will definitely book again.

    Thank you for your feedback and it's great to hear that you enjoyed your holiday at the cottage despite the rainy weather.I'm glad that you found the cottage cosy and comfortable, if a little too warm - we try to maintain the heating at a comfortable temperature for our guests but perhaps as the weather has been quite mild the settings are a little too high at the moment so we will review this.There are coat hooks by the back door and on the back of the door of the understairs cupboard, but we can provide additional hooks. We hope to see you again at Slater's Rest sometime in the future. Property Owner

The property

This former quarryman's cottage is a walker's dream in the Langdale Valley, part of a terrace overlooking the valley to the Langdale Pikes. The setting is sublime, only minutes from the sleepy village of Chapel Stile where an excellent pub restaurant, general store and stunning old church are waiting to be explored. Pets are welcome in this charming little retreat, full of traditional character yet lovingly restored to provide comfort and calm - away from the rush, relaxed and welcoming after a day on foot on the fells. You'll find a contemporary dining kitchen for sociable meals and a cosy lounge with open fire. The bedrooms are both a treat with inspiring mountain views and one has a large ensuite complete with bath, perfect for a long soak after a day outdoors. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Enter to the cosy lounge with magnificent views and a warming open fire. The modern kitchen / dining room is well-equipped for daily meals, with a door leading outside and providing direct access to the fell behind. The wet room is also on this level. Up some narrow stairs to the two bedrooms; one has particularly fine views over the valley, whilst the other has a luxurious ensuite bathroom with fellside views. Outside you'll find a shared garden area, perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. Location Chapel Stile is a small village in the picturesque Langdale Valley, just 4 miles from Ambleside yet immersed in peaceful, untouched landscapes. You'll find a wealth of walking routes for all abilities in every direction. From leisurely strolls to Elterwater tarn, to challenging routes on the famous Langdale Pikes. From your Chapel Stile holiday cottage, 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. Ambleside is the ideal place to stop off and stock up the kitchen on your way. The vibrant village centre is also well worth a few day visits; lazing in cafes, visiting historic sites such as the roman fort, or strolling to the shores of Lake Windermere to take a lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside. Ambleside tourist information centre is a useful port of call for walking routes, and there are plenty of expert outdoor stores where advice will be on hand. You'll find a plethora of excellent Lake District country pubs in the Langdale Valley, serving locally brewed ale and hearty food. If you're looking for a special evening out there's a wide choice of restaurants in Ambleside just a short drive away.

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

It encompasses the two villages of Chapel Stile and Elterwater, as well as the hamlet of High Close. Set in the centre of the Lake District, Langdale is probably best known for its mountains, from the Langdale Pikes – a group of mountains on the northern side of the village – to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. Rock climbers will also love Raven Crag, Gimmer Crag and White Ghyll. There Not surprisingly Langdale is also famous for it’s spectacular views, including Dungeon Ghyll Force Waterfall, Harrison Stickle and Pike of Stickle. it is an extremely popular holiday destination and loved by hikers, climbers, fell runners and lovers of the outdoors in general.
