We spent a great week In Lingmoor View in Chapel Stile. A lovely place to stay, spacious and quiet with beautiful views on the surrounding hills and peaks. The house is very clean, well kept and very well equipped. It has its own parking area. An excellent location from where you can make all types of walks and trips to e.g. Elterwater, Great Langdale, Grasmere, Ambleside. The only hiccup was that we were given the wrong code to the key safe by the front door when we wanted to enter the house upon arrival.

The room was comfy and clean. The location was excellent, a set of stairs next to the property lead you straight into the centre of Ambleside. We had a little bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival! The host allowed us to extend our stay and I’m so glad we did, I only wish we could have stayed longer! Would 100% recommend, great place to stay in Ambleside.
