Old Chapel in Levens is a charming, well-located cottage ideal for exploring the South Lakes and nearby Kendal. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and proximity to local amenities such as a well-stocked shop and an excellent pub. The property is well-equipped for short stays, though some mention compact bedrooms, occasional dampness, and limited kitchen utensils.

No sound insulation in the place and you can hear absolutely everything. Maybe should actually state that there is an apartment above you. The actual area is beautiful and plenty of places to visit.
