  • A fabulous cottage in the glorious Langdale Valley, in the heart of the Lake District
  • Tastefully decorated, with quirky extras like a doggy shower, this is a real home from home
  • A lovely communal garden that overlooks by the Lake District National Park

Overview
Property code: OC-GL103

Perched above the village of Chapel Stile with glorious views across to Lingmoor Fell and further down the valley towards the magnificent Langdales, Toffee Cottage is a beautifully presented terraced cottage for your Lake District getaway.

The cottage has been completely renovated providing a modern, stylish, luminous space for you to enjoy in this glorious location, which is surrounded by the breathtaking, ever-changing scenic tapestry of the Lake District.

Enter the cottage through the porch which houses the washer/dryer and has storage for coats and boots used for your days exploring this wonderful location. Step into the modern slick fully equipped kitchen which includes a dishwasher and little extras such as the digital radio and Nespresso machine. Also on the ground floor is a lovely contemporary bathroom with T bath shower allowing you extra space when taking a shower but of course you can also relax and have a soak after your day of fresh Lakeland air and exertion on the fells.

Stepping across the hall is the first of the two attractive bedrooms which is a twin bedded room with cheerful colourful decor, and the generous double room with king size bed upstairs has some sloping ceilings, built in storage and simply stunning views from the window.

The open plan lounge and dining area look out onto Lingmoor Fell, with the comfortable seating and the dining table all looking out towards the fells, you may find yourself admiring this superb natural vista instead of the TV. Step outside and you have a table and chairs to enjoy this wonderful setting with a morning coffee or your favourite tipple. The lawned area is shared between the cottages on this row. Outside the porch entrance to the left, we have another thoughtful extra with the doggy shower area. 

Set in the Langdale Valley, this lovely cottage is a couple of minutes walk to the Chapel Stile village facilities, including a shop and pub and the Langdale hotel. Also on the doorstep, just an extra 10 mins walk is pretty Elterwater village with the famous Britannia pub and other eatery choices here, too. You are spoilt for choice with walking from the door and breathtaking scenery in every direction. This excellent location is also close to Grasmere, Coniston and Ambleside so is a remarkable location for exploring and having a truly memorable holiday in all seasons.

Toffee Cottage nestles at the top of a short, steep driveway that takes full advantage of the wonderful views, perfectly easy in a car and with plenty of space in the free car parking area to leave your car and enjoy the beautiful countryside.

Please be advised that the Sky TV package excludes Sky Sports.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Toffee Cottage. It was in a wonderful location, quiet, peaceful and there were plenty of walks straight from the property. The cottage is very well equipped and felt like a real home from home. As others have mentioned there is steep driveway access to the property but plenty of car parking space.

The cottage is in a delightful village with good access to walks, and close to a pub and shop. It was very comfortable and very well equipped with lovely views across the valley and a very sunny south facing garden. It was a bonus to have the patio doors in the lounge area and be able to appreciate the picturesque landscape. The bedrooms were fairRead morely small and I bumped my head on the sloping ceiling several times in the room upstairs but it was light and sunny and I would not let this deter me from booking again. The whole cottage is what you would call compact, but it works well, especially the entrance lobby where coats, boots and rucksacks could be stored. The bath towels were the best I've encountered as they were large and soft, a rarity at the many places in which I have stayed during the last few years. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Toffee Cottage over the Christmas period. The cottage itself is very clean and cosy, and has everything you could need and more, warm and lots of hot water. The scenery is beautiful, and as you are situated at the top of quite a steep hill, you really do get to appreciate the peace and quiet of the area, the area itself is rRead moreeally well situated for several lovely walks and the pub down the road is great and dog friendly. We did take our dog with us and we appreciated the offering of dog bowls and treats, the garden is fairly well enclosed too. The only thing I would say is that if you are a fan of a firmer pillow, then you may want to take your own as they were a little soft for us, the beds however are very comfortable and the linens/ towels provided were spotless. Wonderful stay which we enjoyed thoroughly. Hide
