Is The Old Chapel Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The Old Chapel is not ideal for families with young children. The property has a pond in the garden which presents a safety concern. There's no outdoor play equipment or child-specific facilities. A highchair is available for mealtimes. The cottage works better for older children who can appreciate the peaceful countryside setting and walks. The nearby World of Beatrix Potter attraction is 6 miles away.
For Couples
The Old Chapel is perfect for couples wanting a romantic Lake District retreat. The king-size bedroom features a roll-top bath and walk-in wardrobe. Cosy up by the wood burning stove in the lounge with countryside views. The enclosed garden offers a private patio space. Comfortable sofas and peaceful surroundings create an ideal setting. The Sun Inn pub is a 10-minute walk for meals together.
Pet Friendly
The Old Chapel does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no pets policy for all bookings. This makes the cottage unsuitable for guests wanting to bring dogs or other animals. The enclosed garden and peaceful rural location would otherwise be ideal for pets. Guests needing pet-friendly accommodation in the Lake District should look for alternative properties that welcome animals.

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

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

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
