“We had a lovely stay in this beautifully presented Cottage with fab views from the front of the house.”

Just a couple of useful points. There is no phone reception in the area but there is a land-line (we needed this for old people to be able to contact us!) but WiFi was perfect so we could use watsapp even for video calls to other family . The stylish wet room is actually downstairs and through the small lounge and kitchen. If you are a person who needs the loo more than once a night it might be useful to know this! Also for us though the rainshower is fun it woukd be useful to have a hand held ...

“We were very comfortable, only slight downside was the lovely bathroom being downstairs, but I can see the trade off with the third useful single bedroom, for young families, which we didn't use.”

As we were there in dark nights, a larger TV would have been appreciated. However the general equipment and facilities were very good and all within a stunning location. We really appreciated the supply of coal, a nice generous touch. We would recommend and re-book Slaters Rest in the future.

“We have stayed a few times at slaters rest and always enjoy it.”

However this time the house was grubby. The only thing that appeared to have been cleaned was the floor which was swimming in a strong bleach solution. It needs a deep clean. The bin lid was full of food etc… I am sure at times the cleaning staff are up against it but we weren’t happy. We have left it cleaner than when we arrived.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review further to your stay with us at Slaters Rest; although it was ever so disappointing to read your negative comments about the cleanliness here. The Lakelovers housekeeping team clean this proeprty so had we been made aware of this during your stay we would have happily reattended to make good for you. I'm really sorry that you encountered this, and this is not the usual standard we would expect of our cleaners. I really do hope that this didn't mar your stay with us too much and we really do hope to welcome you to stay with us again at Slaters Rest in the near future. Kind Regards, The Lakelovers Owners Relations Team. Property Owner

“Excellent place to stay in the lakes, good views, close to a nice pub and some brilliant walks.”

Lovely to have the working coal fire!

“A clean, well appointed and homely cottage situated in an ideal location with stunning views.”

Parking was a bit of a squeeze with allocated parking slots but didn’t pose any particular problems and there were numerous walls from the doorstep. With a shop and a pub within easy walking distance All the essentials were on-hand. The cottage itself had excellent cooking facilities; fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and a washer/dryer. The only slight drawback was that the wet (beautifully presented) was downstairs, which was a bit of a nuisance for a visit during the nigh. In general, the cottage was perfect for our needs, which included a Walk-loving Labrador And I have no hesitation in recommending Slaters Cottage.

“Wonderful location!”

Very cost little cottage with pretty much everything you could ever want (except a bath maybe)! The knives could do with a bit of a sharpen would be my only feedback!

“The only problem we encountered was the erratic water supply.”

We had stayed in the cottage before and did call you out to look at the problem but this time we were aware nothing could be done. We are early rises so every morning we wanted breakfast pack our lunch make our flasks etc but there was never any water!! We had to fill bottles kettle etc when water was coming out of the taps if we were in during the day. This however didn’t impact too much on our stay but a warning would be nice. The wifi also never worked the router just kept flashing. Lovely cottage perfect place just a few slight irritations.

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 or on the fells. You'll find a contemporary dining kitchen for sociable meals and a cosy lounge with open fire. The double bedrooms are both a treat; one with inspiring mountain views and one with a pretty dressing room - complete with an extra children's bed. == 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 room is also on this level. Up some narrow stairs to the two double bedrooms; one has particularly fine views over the valley and the other is complete with a dressing room, which has an extra bed suitable for a child. Outside you'll find a shared outside 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 just 4 miles away, and 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, sample the Glass House in Ambleside or seek out the famous Drunken Duck Inn and Restaurant in Outgate.

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.
