The listing says Chapel Stile but it is in Elterwater which was better for me! The key box was difficult to open for some reason. Very comfortable bed and snazzy en-suite bathroom. Parking is good and it has a very useful hall for wet boots and gear. Overall - very good.

I guess it depends who is staying next door! We found this property very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The shower especially good. The welcome pack is a bit sparse, only enough tea and coffee for a couple of drinks. No fresh milk r a bottle of wine which is provided by other companies! However, on balance, this is a good place to stay and we would use it again.

Well equipped and in the perfect location. But I could not recommend it and would not stay again... The noise from the house above was dreadful! They were by no means noisy neighbours, simply a family going about their business. But we could hear everything!! The opening of drawers, tap being turned on, the lid being taken off the kettle. Whilst lying in bed, we could hear their conversation, word for word. It was such a shame as the cottage itself is one of the nicest we have stayed in. But this, sadly, put a real dampner on our holiday.
