Transition easily into the comfortable living area with its sofas, electric fire, and TV. You can’t fail to notice the first of the bedrooms as your eyes are drawn to the glass-fronted stairs leading up to the mezzanine king size bedroom in the rafters of the chapel, it may be noted there where there is a glass screen overlooking the lounge also an en-suite bathroom to the left. The remaining three bedrooms downstairs from the living room, consist of two more king-size beds and a twin room, all with en-suite bathrooms and two doors to the outside. The gardens are surrounded by stone walls overlooking farmland and not secure for larger dogs to be left unsupervised.
The chapel is in the quiet Hamlet of Lowick Green near Spark Bridge but offers a great location to explore the scenery and attractions of the South Lakes area. There is a local pub The Farmers Arms. The iconic Coniston Water is just 10 miles away, offering a great location for wild swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking for those water enthusiasts. Alternatively, within a short drive, you can enjoy the world-famous Windermere water offering Lakeside towns to explore with an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, pubs, or attractions like The World of Beatrix Potter. Take a lake cruise or hire your motorboat to enjoy this vast expanse of water. Other local attractions include the Motor Museum, Lakes Aquarium, escape rooms, high ropes, and outdoor adventures, right through to horse racing or Michelin star restaurants. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy and all set against some of the most stunning scenery in the world. Bardsea Beach 5 miles (dog friendly).

Lovely family break. The Chapel had loads of space for everyone to relax in. The living area was stunning with plenty of seating for us all. The drying room was great, for wet boots and dog towels to dry. We visited the 2 local pubs for food, pizza at the Farmers Arms in Lowick (just across the road) which was great and a lovely3-course meal at The Royal Oak Pub in Ulverston just down the road in Spark Bridge. Both pubs were very dog friendly too.Only suggestion would be maybe to have some full length curtains in the bedroom’s downstairs where the doors are - when we were there it was extremely windy and there was quite a draft that came through them which made it a little chilly in the mornings. Otherwise would definitely recommend The Chapel.

Beautiful cottage perfect for what we wanted for a weekend break. The balcony bedroom was a little weird. Good job we were all friends and not too noisy. For what we wanted the situation was great, near to the coast and the lakes. We had a lovely meal with good service at The Royal Oak .
