Chapel Cottage

• "As always when travelling to the cottage that we are going to stay there is always trepidation as what to expect."

  Having stayed in quite a number of holiday cottages Chapel Cottage is high on our list, it was absolutely perfect, spotlessly clean and provided everything we needed and more. The peace and tranquility really made it for us after travelling to visit local attractions to return to bliss. We will certainly be recommending Chapel Cottage to all our family and friends. Our only concern was, and please don't take this as a complaint, was that the heating was set rather low for the time year. We overcome this by the mesmoration of having a log fire, which we totally enjoyed. We were a bit worried that we could leave the cottage in the same state of cleanliness, but we absolutely did our best.

• "The Chapel Cottage is cozy & well maintained, has everything you could possibly need, hairdryer, towels, toilet roll, kitchen roll, hand wash, treats for the dogs, little towels to wipe their paws, a torch for the dark nights and much much more."

  We stayed for 3 night after getting married on a short minimoon, we were welcomed with a little welcome board, a congratulations card and bottle of wine, some delicious homemade bread, homemade jam and a little tub of butter and even the thought of milk in the fridge. The village hasn't a lot around, but that was exactly what we wanted, peace & quiet. The local pub (Sandford Arms) is literally a stone throw away, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food was wonderful. The walks are beautiful, we walked out of the cottage to the right and took the 1st left (at the slow down, red squirrels sign) it took us along the river, which was lovely and peaceful. All the residents are very friendly, including the Red Squirrels which we saw plenty of.. look out for them in the trees opposite and on the wall outside the living room window. The cottage has a comments book for you to write in, it was nice to read all the lovely comments and recommendations from people who have stayed previous. Thank you Tracey & Gary for a wonderful stay. Rachel & Shane.

  It was a home from home. 3 humans and 3 fur babies. We arrived to treats for us all which was appreciated after long drive. The hosts are lovely. Always on hand if you need them but also not in your face. The Chapel has everything you need and more. The local pub is a 2 minute walk away and the food was lovely. The locals are all very friendly and made us feel welcome. Appleby is a lovely little village. It has butchers, greengrocers, bakers, and other lovely shops. I fell in love the green grocers and the butchers everything was fresh ans tasted yummy. The weather was a but wet but as someone said its called the lake district for a reason

  We had a very cold and snowy week but we were warm and comfortable and the log burning stove was a extra bonus. Everything we needed was at the cottage and local shops in Appelby had all we wanted. The very local Sandford Arms was very welcoming and both the beer and meals were very reasonable.

  The property is in a great location, easy to get to the lakes, Ullswater and Derwent, also the nearby towns of Appleby, Kirkby Stephen and others. There's plenty of nice places to eat within a short drive but also a well equipped kitchen if you don't fancy going out. The area at front of the property is great for sitting out in the sunshine and safely enclosed if you are taking your dog, also not overlooked. The area is very peaceful and quiet, with a friendly local pub in staggering distance

  The welcome with ours and the dogs names was a lovely touch as well as the milk in the fridge, welcome snack and the dog box with chews and useful bits for them. Everything was labelled well and the information pack was useful down to the photocopied maps of local walks. The kitchen had all the utensils needed to make meals and the useful porch had various items like torches/umbrellas etc that could be borrowed if needed. The cottage is situated on a ‘No through’ road so it is extremely quiet from traffic noise.

• "We had a fabulous time at Chapel Cottage."

  From the moment you arrive it feels welcoming and homely. The added touches of the milk, bread and jam for humans were much appreciated after a long drive. Some properties say animals are welcome but it can feel like they're not really welcome with the numerous rules and lack of space for them. However, Chapel Cottage is truly special! The towels, water bowl, poo bags, collar tag and treats warmed our hearts and we knew we were in a fabulous place. The pub is very close but you hear no noise - it really is an escape from busy lifestyles. The pub does excellent food and even takeaways! We really loved the other additional touches in the cottage; the maps for local walks and the picnic basket for us to use. It's an old building and can feel a little chilly but nothing the heaters and woodstove can't fix. The woodstove was LOVELY! We were really sad to be leaving Chapel Cottage and will certainly return.

  Excellent provisions for everything, extensive information manual with guides on how to use certain appliances, explanations about what switches do what in the house and useful tips about local attractions and walks. The cottage was lively and clean, one minor point I would have found helpful is a better hoover as I was trying to keep the place fairly tidy (and hoover up the dog hairs) but the hoover wasn't great. The beds a super comfy and very cosy at night. The advertised 'enclosed garden' I would like to just highlight is enclosed but not very helpful if you have a big dog as they can easily jump over the wall. And there is no grass area that is enclosed to let the dogs out freely. Saying that, it is such a small village you can walk the dogs off lead to the grass area just down the road and th locals are all very friendly. Overall great location to travel into the lakes, the yorkshire dales and the north pennines!

  Thank you for your feedback - we have now purchased a new hoover. We do feel that the description (as an 'enclosed yard') and photos on the website are an accurate representation of the outside space at Chapel Cottage. Thank you for pointing out that there is plenty of green space in the village. Property Owner

• "Really love our hoilday, owners were lovely on site and also emailed us to confirm anything we needed and even kept updating regarding a power cut - can't fault them!"

  Dog treats and welcome treat was amazing especially the home made bread and jam! Only issue we found was that there wasn't a big enough garden for two dogs as they rather excitable being in a new place and we felt we couldn't relax without checking them all the time. However we found there was lovely walks where we could take them and the owners provided a little pack which included us with local walks which was accurate. I would highly recommend coming here! Thank you for sharing your lovely Property with us.

• "The Cottage was very pleasant, hardly any traffic which meant lots of peacefulness, numerous places to walk to and a local pub a stone throw away."

  Excellent when you need to get away from everything.

• "Amazing and immaculately clean accommodation and fabulous owners - A brilliant relaxing holiday."

  The whole place was clean throughout, we pay a lot of attention to the standards in the kitchen and bathroom on holiday and they were absolutely spotless and the bedding was so clean and comfy.The logburner was fabulous and we enjoyed all the modern facilities such as the TV/Netflix etc. It was a real home from home and we loved every minute of our stay. Thank you also to the owners for checking to see if we needed anything. We didn't, you had supplied everything we could possibly need and we could tell how much thought and consideration you had put into your guests' comfort and enjoyment.The property is also set in immaculate lovely grounds, the village was lovely and quiet in the middle of rural farming areas and yet still with a real community feel, everybody was friendly when they saw us walking the dogs every day, and the dogs also had a brilliant time all week.We sat outside on the front in the afternoons having a snack, we could just just pop to the local pub 2 minutes away for a meal, then we could get back to walk the dogs again.We will absolutely be back for another visit and have already recommended this property to all our friends.Thank you so much, from Paula and Billy.

• "We had a great time at Chapel Cottage."

  The cottage was clean and comfortable and a good location for local walks. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a nice relaxed break. There was a nice little welcome pack for both us and the dog. Netflix on the TV was an added bonus.

• "Considering we are in a pandemic at the moment, the cottage was not what I would call very clean."

  The cooker hood was very dusty and grimy, the tiles in the kitchen were dirty on the top edging. The bathroom did not look very clean. That said, we did enjoy staying at the property.

  We are pleased that you did enjoy your stay. It seems that some of the dust from the newly fitted chimney flue and wood-burning stove had resettled during your stay and we were unware of this. We apologise for this and are glad it didn't spoil your stay. If a guest informed us there was a problem we would ensure it was resolved immediately. Property Owner

• "Chapel cottage was one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed at."

  We arrived in the middle of a storm on boxing day. The cottage was warm and welcoming. It has been fitted out and decorated to a very high standard, with everything well thought through. We are a family of four and there was plenty of room. The local area was lovely, a quiet village location with plenty of walks on your doorstep and appelby in westmorland just a short drive away with good shops and facilities. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage, thank you so much for a fantastic break!

  A really interesting property and the surrounding area is well worth exploring. A perfect base for Lakes and Pennines. Will definitely be revisiting in the near future.

  The Chapel cottage was great, and the location was close to A66 which is the main road all the way through the Lake district. (just wish Sandford had a corner shop lol.) We would definitely go back. Tony & Sue.

  This is the place to go. It's in a very quiet village. Beautiful place to stay. Pub only a few yards away. Good food. We had a lovely peaceful time. The old chapel is lovely and cosy.
