Mrs Wilkinson

“The views from the cottage were outstanding.”

Great walking on the doorstep. Close to pub and shop and reliable public transport. Unlike most properties the pictures on the website did not do justice to the interiors - which were much better than displayed.

The property

Cosy, unique and gazing out over the Langdale Valley through a fabulous full wall window... this ground floor retreat is a place to spend precious time together and an outstanding base for walkers. The Langdale Retreat forms part of a larger property which enjoys a slightly elevated setting in the sleepy village of Chapel Stile. The open plan living area and two bathrooms provide ample space even for sharing couples to spread out and relax. Prepare sociable evenings in the large kitchen, head out into the hills from the doorstep, and make the most of your excellent local pub on the way home! On warmer days, you'll love taking drinks and meals outside to the scenic sun terrace. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Entrance porch to the open plan living space with full wall window opening out to the furnished sun terrace. Sitting area with woodburning stove, comfy sofas and TV/DVD and wi-fi service. The modern kitchen / dining area has electric oven, halogen hob and dishwasher. King-size bedroom on this level with luxury en-suite facility. Upstairs to the 2nd king-size bedroom, also with own bathroom. Location This lovely rural property stands in the picturesque Langdale Valley, with superb views of the surrounding fells. Set in the village of Chapel Stile, the self-catering Lake District cottage offers a peaceful location. But with many of the region's attractions are easily accessible, as are some of the gems found off the beaten path. Located at the head of the Langdale Valley, Chapel Stile is only 4 miles from Ambleside and Lake Windermere, and all the attractions and entertainment they have to offer. Ambleside is a good place to stock up for self-catering, exploring cafes and even visiting historical sites. Or maybe you want to take a scenic cruise on one of the steamers from Ambleside to Lakeside or Bowness? Chapel Stile village itself has a small shop, a cafe and an acclaimed Lake District country pub, The Wainwrights Inn. Stroll further into the Langdale Valley and you'll find the peaceful atmosphere and spectacular views continue... with a few more noteable pubs on the way. This location is an obvious choice for a walking holiday in the Lake District. A hike to England's highest tarn, or to the spectacular Jake's Rake ridge, begin almost on your doorstep. The adjacent Wasdale and Borrowdale Valleys bring more superb routes within easy reach, and are traditional starting points for an ascent of Scafell Pike.

About the location

LANGDALE

Often referred to as Great Langdale, to distinguish it from nearby Little Langdale, Langdale's name comes from the Old Norse for 'long valley'. Langdale is a u-shaped valley formed by glaciers. 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.
