Lingmoor Lookout can be found in an elevated location, enjoying spectacular views over the Langdale Valley and across to Lingmoor Fell. The south facing terrace with perfectly positioned bench means you can relax in the sun with a glass of wine or morning coffee. The cottage is a short stroll from Chapel Stile village centre, conveniently close to the local Co-op shop, Brambles Cafe, Wainwrights Inn and also the bus stop if you plan to leave the car behind. There are numerous walks from the door in all directions.

This cosy and well equipped cottage sleeps up to 4 people (2 adults and 2 children) with a ground floor double room and first floor twin room. The double room is at the back of the property so offers a private and cosy space with wardrobe storage. The twin room features exposed beams, velux roof window, (please note the headroom is restricted in areas of the twin room). The ground floor lounge/diner is a bright space with patio doors leading to the terrace, and also includes a Smart TV . The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven, gas hob, combination microwave oven, fridge with freezer box, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The modern bathroom with white suite features shower over bath, WC and basin. 

The Wifi signal is strong throughout the property with a highspeed connection.

Off road parking is in a private car park.

NB: The driveway to the property is up a hill, perfectly easy in the car, but not so good for the less able. Please note the property does have sloping gardens and path to the front door which may not be suitable for the elderly or less mobile. Please note this cottage does not accept children under the age of 12 years.

What's included?

We want our holiday cottages to be a 'home for home'. All the beds are made up ready for you, towels are included so no need to bring those and shower mats are also provided. Two tea towels and a set of oven gloves/oven cloth will be in the kitchen along with a starter pack that includes: washing up liquid, kitchen roll, toilet roll, basic cleaning products, a bin bag in each bin and a few dishwasher tabs. This is just to 'start you off'; you will need to buy your own once these have run out.

Fantastic location with a beautiful view from the front of the house. The house was warm and clean house. We had a good stay, but the house is a bit cramped for 4 adults staying for anything other than a few days (we were there for 2 nights). The kitchen is very small and only allows one person to work in there at a time. Theres a very low ceiling Read morein the bathroom so its easy to bang your head when using the shower. This would benefit from some padding. For the money we paid we would have expected some basic supplies to be provided such as milk, salt and pepper. The welcome pack consisted of some tea bags and a small pack of biscuits. Hide

Positives: great location and view. Other than above comments kitchen was well equipped. Comfortable albeit small bedroom. This cottage is cozy and comfortable for two but four would feel very cramped. Negatives: above comments and also guests should be warned the access from parking area is a steep slope which gets slippery when wet. Not suitableRead more for anyone with mobility concerns. Hide

A cosy cottage with stunning views and easy access to numerous places of interest including Rydal Water, Tarn Hows and Grasmere. A lovely walk from the cottage by Elterwater too. The cottage itself, although small was comfortable and well equipped for cooking.

Would give the cottage 5 stars for the view and the position. The only downsides to the property was the difficult access. The car had to be parked away from the cottage so wouldnt be very good if you had mobility problems. The property is fairly small , bit of a squash for four , more suited for a couple. The bedroom is very small which made it dRead moreifficult getting in the bed! Also the kitchen is fairly small with a smallish fridge , Apart from that its very clean and we enjoyed our 3 night stay . The village of Chapel Stile is lovely with a good shop, cafe and lovely pub.

The accommodation is in a beautiful location, with lovely walks from the front door. The village shop is well stocked and very friendly. And the Wainwright Inn is a great place for a meal.

A really lovely cottage in a fantastic location. Some great walks and great for local wild life. Would recommend the walk along the river to Skelwith Bridge and lunch at Chesters. There is a small fridge/freezer so dont turn up with a weeks shopping - but we liked supporting the local co-op which is very well stocked with excellent produce.
