  • A traditional Lakeland stone cottage located in the stunning Langdale Valley
  • Boasting mesmerising views of Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes 
  • Peaceful and tranquil location, perfect for a relaxing holiday 
Property code: OC-GL133

This charming stone cottage in the village of Chapel Stile offers you cosy accommodation for a restorative break in the world-famous Lake District. Spend your days taking your pet on long walks through awe-inspiring scenery, followed by cosy evenings in enjoying this stylish house which boasts stunning views of Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes. With two bedrooms, there’s space for up to four guests and one four-legged visitor is welcome, too.

You’ll enter the property into a cosy lounge with inviting sofas, a Smart TV and a wood burner that’s every tired dog’s dream. The stone-flagged floor and mullioned sash windows give this space a lovely rustic aesthetic. With a skylight and two windows, the modern kitchen/diner has an airy feel to it – this is where you’ll enjoy breakfasts and evening meals together. Upstairs, you’ll find the two bedrooms, which are decorated in appealing muted shades with floral soft furnishings. Outside there’s a shared lawned garden which is wonderful for seeking out some fresh air and, for furry guests, more potential snooze spots.

The village has a dog-friendly pub (0.5 miles) where you can enjoy a holiday pint with your pet nestled at your feet. When it’s time to take her for a workout, you’ll find plenty of excellent walks starting from the village – you could start with the wander along the Cumbria Way to nearby Elterwater (1 mile) which has a lovely lake. The Cathedral quarries (3 miles) are an impressive local site you can discover with your pet, while Lake Windermere (5 miles) offers plenty more walking opportunities as well as water sports you can take part in with your pet, like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

Tabithas cottage is well located for exploring the local area with a cosy kitchen/living area for relaxing after a long day walking. I would stay again if there were improvements to the main bedroom as the bed was extremely old and uncomfortable. Cleanliness wasnt up to our expectations, a deep clean is necessary.

The cottage is in an exceptional position. There are great walks from the cottage and there is a local shop in the village. Every Holiday cottage with this company has been very clean with clean towels and bedding .

Fantastic location with great walks and climbs from the doorstep. Easy walk to a good pub serving food and a co-op. Warm and comfortable cottage- good mattresses and bedding which is always a bonus. Bijou in size but we expected that and had a lovely week.

A really lovely cottage with a great aspect and easy access to the fells using a small path next to the cottages. The Pub and village shop were a short walk on road and then the Cumbria Way. There were plenty of choices of walking direct from the cottage, and it was beautiful whichever way you decided to go.

Lovely cosy, welcoming cottage. Comfy beds and sofas. Appreciated large fluffy bath sheets, and lots of hooks and hangers. Thanks too for the garden chairs for sitting outside to take in the incredible view of the Langdale Pikes from outside the front door. Everything needed supplied. Great stay.
