Speddy Cottage is a traditional two storey whitewashed semi detached cottage that sleeps five people. Upstairs are two double rooms and a single with one family bathroom. It is right next door to our End Cottage, which can be booked together offering enough accommodation for eleven guests in total. It has been restored very much in a traditional style with stone flag floors on the ground floor and polished boards on the first. A modern kitchen has been added, along with two wood burning stoves in the living room and dining room. Additional warmth is provided by electric wall heaters in each room. The bedrooms have been furnished with substantial French-style beds with new mattresses, with pretty soft furnishings throughout. There is private parking for one vehicle and up to two dogs are welcome, for a small additional charge.

Located on the top road above Chapel Stile, which is really Walthwaite, this property has wonderful views across to Lingmoor Fell and the old quarry workings across the valley. You can also walk down and across fields to Wainwrights Inn, along the river and into Elterwater. There are some fantastic walks from directly behind the cottage up and over across Silver How to Grasmere with Spedding Crag directly above. Chapel Stile, in the heart of the Langdale valley, is a village that used to serve the local slate workings – well served on a good local bus route and with a convenient little Co-op which carries an impressive stock to support you on your holidays, and of course the local village pub, Wainwrights Inn. For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located nearby in Chapel Stile. Buses are frequent and connect guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!
