Most guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-maintained, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, a few guests encountered issues with housekeeping, such as bins not being emptied and dirty utensils, which slightly lowers the score.

Guests consistently report a comfortable stay, with special mentions of the cosy sitting room, comfortable beds, and the warmth of the property. Some guests suggested improvements to outdoor dining arrangements and the downstairs bedroom's aesthetic.
The property is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen and good quality appliances. However, some guests reported issues with the tumble dryer and heating controls, and there were comments about the lack of instructions for some appliances, which affects the score.

About this property
Lingmoor View is a pleasant duplex, two-bedroom holiday home, sitting in an elevated position at the heart of the picturesque village of Chapel Stile and its amenities. The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy spectacular and idyllic trails from the doorstep and some of the most acclaimed Lakeland mountain walks lie just three miles up the valley. It is an ideal holiday retreat for a family or two couples.
Walk into the porch, store your outdoor gear and step into your bright and spacious open plan sitting room with dining and kitchen areas and enjoy the natural light flooding into this welcoming space. Go through the patio doors to your shared garden area and take in the breath-taking views to the Langdale fells. Find a double bedroom at ground level, with king size bed, TV and en-suite shower room. Climb the stairs to your twin bedroom, TV and lovely views from the Velux windows. You will find your family bathroom on this floor with bath and shower cubicle.
Head out on foot to experience spectacular walking trails or take the bus though the beautiful Langdale Valley to Dungeon Ghyll, to walk some of the most acclaimed trails in the National Park. For a more relaxing day explore the village and its surrounding area, before having breakfast at Bramble’s café and stocking up at the local store. Or, visit the well-loved Wainrights Inn for lunch, a stone’s throw from the village centre, then take the scenic path along the river to the pretty hamlet of Elterwater.
At the end of your day take a drink onto your terrace in the shared garden and gaze at the panoramic views.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

This was probably the cleanest, best equipped and most comfortable cottage I have stayed in. The location is excellent with very easy access to paths to the surrounding valley and fells.

South facing, your own personal view of Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes (I believe theyâre called). Parking very good and only several metres from the property. Fully equipped cottage with upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Will more than likely try to book this property again.
