Langdale Cottage
Tucked into the heart of the Langdale Valley, in the small fellside village of Chapel Stile, Langdale Cottage is a light and bright bolthole for up to four guests. Step out into the garden, and you're greeted by the majestic Langdale Pikes rising at the head of the valley — while indoors, the lounge and windows look out across the valley to the gentler slopes of Lingmoor Fell. This is the Lake District as postcards promise it: crag, beck and fellside stitched together into one glorious, ever-changing view.
Inside, the cottage opens up beautifully; the open-plan living and dining area, crowned with a double-height vaulted ceiling, floods with natural light, while a generous sliding door and windows frame views across to Lingmoor Fell. Gather the family around the dining table, or settle in with a film on the Smart TV — Netflix is included, so there's no need to bring your own login. It's a space made for slowing down.
Langdale Cottage is perfectly suited to families with children, thanks to its cosy twin room tucked beneath the eaves, or to couples seeking a peaceful escape from it all. By day, the valley is a walker's paradise, with gentle valley-bottom strolls and some of the Lake District's most exhilarating high-fell routes right on the doorstep. By evening, the choice is simple: step into the garden to catch the Langdale Pikes glowing in the fading light, or wander down to one of the valley's excellent pubs — Wainwright's Inn (0.5 miles) or the Britannia Inn at Elterwater (1 mile), or, for more choice a little further up the valley, Stickle Barn at New Dungeon Ghyll (1.7 miles) or The Old Dungeon Ghyll (2.5 miles) — for a well-earned pint and a hearty meal.
Whatever you've forgotten to pack, Chapel Stile's well-stocked village shop is just a few minutes away, so you can spend less time worrying about supplies and more time soaking up one of England's most beautiful valleys.

About the location
Walkers are thoroughly spoiled for choice. Gentle valley-floor paths wind alongside the Great Langdale Beck, while more ambitious routes climb steeply onto the Langdale Pikes and beyond, rewarding effort with some of the finest fell views in the Lake District. For those who'd rather not drive, the 516 bus service runs daily between Ambleside and Old Dungeon Ghyll, calling at Skelwith Bridge, Elterwater and both New and Old Dungeon Ghyll, making it easy to start a walk at one point and finish at another without worrying about parking.
Beyond the valley itself, the wider Lake District unfolds within easy reach. Ambleside, with its shops, restaurants and lake steamers on Windermere, is a short drive or bus ride away, while the picturesque village of Grasmere, once home to poet William Wordsworth, is also easily accessible. Whether your idea of a perfect day is a strenuous fell walk, a relaxed pub lunch, or simply pottering between villages, this corner of the Lake District delivers it all.
