Ambleside, The Lake District and Cumbria
Dulcanter is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
This delightful home from home welcomes family and friends to experience the charm of a Lakeland retreat. This historic building is perfectly positioned within the heart of the oldest part of the village of Chapel Stile. Its old slate walls provided shelter for the horses of people travelling through the Langdales. It was completely remodelled in 2023 to include many eco friendly features aimed at minimising its carbon footprint through the use of solar power. This lovely retreat is nestled in the quaint village of Chapel Stile, surrounded by the natural beauty of the fells, the local pub, café and shops all await. Nature lovers and hikers will revel in the myriad of options available amidst the encompassing fells of the Langdale Valley. Discover tranquillity on the banks of Elterwater, a delightful 0.8 mile walk along the River Brathay. Explore the beauty of Rydal Water, 2 miles south east, which offers diverse trails suitable for all skill levels and is complemented by a majestic estate and gardens. For enthusiasts of cultural heritage, Grasmere is only 3.5 miles away, where you can visit the Wordsworth Museum. Ambleside lies 5 miles south, with an array of eateries and independent shops, ensuring all your needs are met nearby.
