Warm your feet by the fire in this impeccably styled Lake District cottage. Your hosts have cleverly combined period elements with modern style to create a welcoming home where you're free to relax in comfort. On the ground floor, an open layout invites you to unwind on the sofa by the wood burner while others play cards at the dining table, and tempting smells emanate from the sleek kitchen. Here, a well-stocked larder and an impressive range cooker are set to elevate the self-catering experience to the next level. Head upstairs to uncover a couple of outstanding bedrooms, one with a four-poster bed and a gorgeous en-suite bathroom, while the versatile twin room has a shower room adjacent for utmost convenience. The cottage also features a beautiful garden with a hot tub and outdoor seating and dining areas, all set within a beautifully landscaped garden that perfectly juxtaposes the untamed beauty of the Lake District National Park beyond the property. For lovers of the great outdoors, some of the country's most picturesque walks are right on your doorstep. And after working up a thirst on your morning hike, head to The Britannia pub for a refreshing pint or a bite to eat at either... of the hotels in the village. Less than a mile away, Chapel Stile has a Co-op where you can stock up on essentials, while ten minutes in the car will see you arrive in the bustling market town of Ambleside, on the north shore of Windermere lake.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
