Oak Cottage, built in the 1850s, is a traditional terraced Lakeland three bedroom stone cottage on four floors on the road leading up to Holy Trinity Church in Chapel Stile. It sleeps up to six guests. The entrance leads into a small hallway before an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. The lounge has comfortable seating around an open fireplace, flat screen TV, Sky Sports and blue ray DVD player and a selection of DVDs to entertain on a damp day. The kitchen has warm, oak fronted units, double oven, microwave, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer and all the equipment and dishes you could wish for. A large oak dining table seats six so guests can enjoy a meal together while making plans for the rest of the holiday in the Lake District. There are two bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom has a king size bed, en-suite shower room and views over the village centre. The second bedroom has a double bed with the best view, overlooking the field down Great Langdale Valley towards Lingmoor Fell. The main family bathroom with bath, basin and WC, is beside this double room, almost making it en-suite. On the top floor is the large ‘L’ shaped twin bedroom with en-suite shower room, wash basin and WC, small seating area with TV (Freeview only) and tea making facilities. This room is perfect for grandparents or grown up children wanting a bit of space. From the lounge there are stairs down to the basement which has been converted into a games and TV room suitable for children. The three large comfy bean bags are great for playing on the Play Station and watching TV. The washer, dryer, wine fridge and bicycle storage are located at the other end of the basement. The lawned garden with picturesque views towards Lingmoor Fell. An outbuilding, converted into a heated drying room, can be accessed from here. Please note the garden is shared with the neighbouring property, although both have their own private seating areas.

Chapel Stile, in the heart of the Langdale valley, is a village that used to serve the local slate workings – well served on a good local bus route and with a convenient little Co-op which carries an impressive stock to support you on your holidays, and of course the local village pub, Wainwrights Inn. It is just 5 miles away from Ambleside, a much busier tourist hub with many shops, cinemas and a variety of eateries to suit most palates. Grasmere is only 9 miles away, famous for its lake, gingerbread and home to William Wordsworth which he described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found." For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located nearby in Chapel Stile. Buses are frequent and connect guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!
