“Old Postmasters Cottage”
We had an amazing weeks stay at The OldPostmasters Cottage. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need to make it home for a week. The added bonus was the games room, which kept the kids and adults entertained while we was giving our legs a rest! The rooms are bigger then I expected for a cottage, really nice and airy with a lovely modern bathroom. Everything you need is on the doorstep, a cafe, corner shop (which stocks essentials and has a gift section and waterproofs upstairs) Wainwrights pub. There’s also the Britania Pub a short walk away, which does lovely food. We didn’t use the car, apart from a drive to the boat at Ambleside. You can walk out of the door turn left or right and there’s some lovely walks. Warren, the owner emailed everything we needed over, even some maps for ideas of walks. And there plenty of information in a folder at the cottage. If you’re thinking of booking, please do, its perfect for a nice break!

“Postoffice cottage Chapel Stile”
Excellent location very comfy cottage Local shop almost opposite. Exceedingly good pub just down road serving excellent food. Also the Brittania further along in Elterwater. Walks from here down the Langdale valley to some more pubs and hotel. New Dungeon Gill and Old Dungeon Gill and Sticklebarn all offer food and well worth a visit. Also walk to Grasmere and have tea in Fairyland on lake
