The Old Chapel Reviews

We had a very comfortable stay in this warm and cosy cottage. The beds were so very comfy, better than mine at home! Loved having the log burner for a cosy glow whilst eating in the kitchendiner. Cottage very well placed for sightseeing on either side of the Lake.

We certainly would book this accommodation again. Very clean and comfortable. The only negative comments would be that there is no shaver points anywhere and would expect a better quality tv with at least HD with a recording facility and choice of iPlayer etc. Ideally situated for anywhere in the lakes

Nicholas

Everything you could possibly want from a Lake district holiday . The house was easy to find , clean , quiet & comfortable. The outdoor patio area was perfect for watching the sun go down. Had a great meal in the sun inn , about a 4 minute walk round the corner,

Charles

This was our fourth time at the Old Chapel. We live the location away from the bustle of Bowness and Windermere. Nice to see they have redone the outside seating area. Kitchen is a little tired now but functional. Couldnt find a corkscrew

Very spacious well appointed and comfortable . Excellent centre for walking locally and exploring the area

What a lovely place to stay! Great location and facilities for families , will certainly recommend The old chapel to anyone looking for a comfortable clean and warm Lake District holiday

Lovely place in a great location, loads to do in the area, will definitely be back.
