  • A fabulous cottage in the glorious Langdale Valley, in the heart of the Lake District
  • Tastefully decorated, with quirky extras like a doggy shower, this is a real home from home
  • A lovely communal garden that overlooks by the Lake District National Park

Property code: OC-GL103

Lap up spectacular views across Lingmoor Fell from this cosy end-of-terrace cottage in the heart of the Lake District. You can spend satisfying days exploring the rural and watery delights of this world-famous national park, then enjoy cosy evenings in dog-friendly pubs or tucking into leisurely meals in your holiday home. With two bedrooms providing space for up to four human guests and one pet, it’s perfect for a holidaying couple or a small group of friends.

This appealing accommodation has a colourful, contemporary feel to it, with clean, white units in the kitchen and an open-plan living area featuring cosy sofas and a glass-topped dining table. Extras such as a Nespresso coffee machine and a digital radio make you feel right at home. Outside the property, there’s a patio with a table and chairs, plus a shared lawned area where your faithful friend can go for a run around. After long days of exploration, there’s even a doggy shower for rinsing off muddy paws and fur before settling down for the evening.

You’ll be in the village of Chapel Stile which has a dog-friendly pub (0.5 miles) and a few shops, as well as being the springboard for countless pretty walks in the national park. The impressive Cathedral Cave (3 miles) is well worth the trip, or you may choose to stroll along the River Brathay to the nearby village of Elterwater which is famous for its lake (2 miles). When your pet is hounding you for a longer leg stretch, head to Windermere (5 miles) where you can visit the remains of a 2nd-century Roman fort before enjoying an extended scenic walk around the water.

Planned 3/4 days of walking in the Langdale Valley with my son. Toffee Cottage is fabulous. We walked every day from the cottage (great location), Two or maybe four great pubs in walking distance (great location). Beautiful views from the cottage, lovely to sit out with a brew on the terrace (great location). Toffee Cottage is a clean, comfortable Read more, and well equipped cottage. Somewhere nice to relax after a hard day pounding the trails. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Toffee Cottage. It was in a wonderful location, quiet, peaceful and there were plenty of walks straight from the property. The cottage is very well equipped and felt like a real home from home. As others have mentioned there is steep driveway access to the property but plenty of car parking space.

The cottage is in a delightful village with good access to walks, and close to a pub and shop. It was very comfortable and very well equipped with lovely views across the valley and a very sunny south facing garden. It was a bonus to have the patio doors in the lounge area and be able to appreciate the picturesque landscape. The bedrooms were fairRead morely small and I bumped my head on the sloping ceiling several times in the room upstairs but it was light and sunny and I would not let this deter me from booking again. The whole cottage is what you would call compact, but it works well, especially the entrance lobby where coats, boots and rucksacks could be stored. The bath towels were the best I've encountered as they were large and soft, a rarity at the many places in which I have stayed during the last few years. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Toffee Cottage over the Christmas period. The cottage itself is very clean and cosy, and has everything you could need and more, warm and lots of hot water. The scenery is beautiful, and as you are situated at the top of quite a steep hill, you really do get to appreciate the peace and quiet of the area, the area itself is rRead moreeally well situated for several lovely walks and the pub down the road is great and dog friendly. We did take our dog with us and we appreciated the offering of dog bowls and treats, the garden is fairly well enclosed too. The only thing I would say is that if you are a fan of a firmer pillow, then you may want to take your own as they were a little soft for us, the beds however are very comfortable and the linens/ towels provided were spotless. Wonderful stay which we enjoyed thoroughly. Hide
