About this property

Mellbreak is a delightful, three-bedroom holiday home set in an elevated position, near to the picturesque village of Chapel Stile. The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy spectacular and idyllic trails from the doorstep and some of the most acclaimed Lakeland mountain walks lie just three miles up the valley. It is a half a mile walk to the well-stocked village shop, the popular Bramble's café and the famous Wainrights Inn. Sleeps five people, ideal for a family or two couples.

Walk up to the back door and leave your outdoor gear in the utility room. You will find a pretty single bedroom with en-suite shower room at this level. Take the stairs to the first floor and find your bright and welcoming open plan living area, sit on your comfy sofa to enjoy lovely views to the fells, across the road. Discover your newly fitted kitchen area, which has been designed to cleverly connect with your stylish dining table and sitting room, ideal for socialising with the head cook. Take the spiral staircase up to the top floor to find two further neat and pretty bedrooms: a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. Your family bathroom is also situated on this floor. Utility can also store a bike.

Head out on foot to experience spectacular walking trails or take the bus though the beautiful Langdale Valley to Dungeon Ghyll to walk some of the most acclaimed trails in the National Park. For a more relaxing day, explore the Langdale valley and have a bite to eat at one of the famous Dungeon Ghyll pubs. At the end of the day sit outside your cottage to watch the setting sun and start to plan your next day’s adventures.

A delightful, rural village nestled right in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park. Chapel Stile is an excellent hidden gem, set at the bottom of a stunning valley, flanked on one side by the River Brathay, surrounded by incredible scenery and filled with wonderful slate and stone buildings. The village offers a traditional church from the mid 1800's as well as a café, a pub and a village shop that has stood for well over 100 years. Chapel Stile is a great base for exploring this National Park, with easy access to a number of sights and fells worth visiting. You must go to the lovely neighbouring village of Elterwater and stand on the Skelwith Bridge and simply take in the views. Nearby are the fantastic Lake District towns of Ambleside and Kendal are withing a short driving distance, offering excellent views, buildings and so much to do. For you outdoors people, make sure you visit Bowness-on-Windermere, with its incredible lake activities and so much to do; it's perfect for families.

    Always clean and comfortable. Such a great base for walking the Langdale valley and surrounding area. Hope to return.

    I am 83 and didn’t have any trouble with spiral stairs , in fact I loved them. Kitchen wonderfully equipped, my daughter in law and I amused the grandchildren showing things we grew up with. I have stayed in many self catering houses and rate this as one of the best. I was wheeled into village and to the amazing river. Had to have help with footrest but so comfortable. We all had a great time such a good centre . We all hope to return. Thank you very much indeed. GREAT

    Two things were not good:- There was no information or facilities for recycling which is not acceptable. The lighting in the lounge/dining room was dim - we were not able to read in the evening.
