A beautiful home gazing out over the Langdale Valley through a fabulous full wall window. This ground floor retreat is a place to spend precious time together and an outstanding base for walkers. Langdale Retreat forms part of a larger property which enjoys a slightly elevated setting in the quiet village of Chapel Stile. The open plan living area and two bathrooms provide ample space for sharing couples to spread out and relax. Prepare sociable evenings in the large kitchen, head out into the hills from the doorstep, and make the most of your excellent local pub on the way home! On warmer days, you’ll love taking drinks and meals outside to the scenic sun terrace. There is private parking for one car. Entrance porch to the open plan living space with full wall window opening out to the furnished sun terrace. Sitting area with wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas, perfect for a relaxing night in front of the TV/DVD . The modern kitchen / dining area has an electric oven, halogen hob and dishwasher. On the ground floor is a king-size bedroom with luxury en-suite facility. Upstairs is the 2nd king-size bedroom also with its own bathroom.

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!
