Take-a-Break at Bottom Chapel
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation

We offer a four-star bed and breakfast experience in our converted chapel in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Our aim is simple: we want your stay at Bottom Chapel to be the very best we can make it. We want you to feel relaxed and comfortable and free from the pressures of life. Ask for anything we haven’t provided: if we can do it we will. Bottom Chapel was built by the Methodists in 1878 and was a place of worship until the mid 1990s when it was partially converted by the people who lived here before us. We completed the conversion during the summer of 2009, to provide two additional bedrooms with high, leaded windows, a lovely library/sitting room on the third floor - and a model railway room for Ian.

Lake District
Take-a-Break at Sally's Cottages
Our holiday cottages are mostly in the Western Lake District, especially in Eskdale, Wasdale, Ravenglass, Gosforth and Ennerdale, although we also have houses in the Borrowdale valley near Keswick, in the Duddon Valley near Coniston and in Grasmere. This part of the Lake District has a slower, quieter pace of life than in the more bustling centres of Windermere and Ambleside. Here, there are still more sheep than people, a real sense of tranquility, and hundreds of wonderful walks, either along the river banks at valley floors, the coastal beaches of the Irish Sea or high up on some of the most spectacular fells in the country.

Our self-catering accommodation gives you the flexibility to cook at home, or to visit the many welcoming pubs within easy reach, offering traditional Cumbrian foods and ales.

Pictorial Walking Guides


Originally compiled in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Wainwright walking guides
are perhaps the most distinctive and unusual such guides ever devised. The result
of painstaking and lengthy research by their namesake and author over a period
of thirteen years, the guides have retained their original format and design
to this day. The books contain intricate hand drawn sketches by the author,
detailing routes of ascent, and gradients of the hills in and around the Lake
District and outlying regions.
