Mrs Smith

“Lovely, spacious & well equipped cottage & we liked reading about its history & that certain original features have been retained.”

We really loved sitting out in the truly fabulous garden, thanks to some great weather, listening to the birds & enjoying the views. Good walks from the door too.

The property

Originally an 18th century Inn, White Lion Cottage is a delightful true Lakeland retreat. Maintaining many of its original features this characterful dog-friendly property has been finished sympathetically with quality in mind and is the perfect place to escape with those closest to you. The stunning, fell side garden provides peace, tranquility and unrivaled views. Perfectly located for walks around the stunning Langdale Valley, you will seldom need the car once here! == Accommodation in detail Entering into the traditional fully equipped kitchen with range-master oven and seating for 6, a perfect kitchen for entertaining all the family. From there you go through into the traditional living room you will find plentiful seating for 6 and lots of books for those rainy days, cosied round the wood burning stove.. Also on the ground floor is a 3rd WC. Upstairs you will find the spacious bedrooms one with feature fireplace and all with spectacular views. The master king-size bedroom has en-suite shower room. A further king-size bedroom features a zip and link that can therefore be requested to be set up as a twin or a double at the time of booking. There is a further twin room.

Chapel Stile is located at the head of the valley, only 4 miles from Ambleside and Lake Windermere, providing endless access to low and high level walks in the Langdale Valley. These are some of the most photographed landscapes in the Lake District, and you'll soon see why. Chapel Stile village itself has a super 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 notable pubs on the way.
