This idyllic Lakeland cottage is in the charming market town of Ambleside, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the southern Lake District. The property welcomes four guests, with a third bedroom offering alternative sleeping arrangements, making it suitable for families, couples, and groups of friends. Head into the village to explore the collection of independent shops and eateries, before embarking on a scenic stroll along the river to Stock Ghyll Force or following the heritage trail to learn more about the town's fascinating past. Other nearby walking routes include the Fairfield Horseshoe, Loughrigg, and Wansfell. The town sits at the northern end of Windermere, and from Waterhead Pier you can join one of the cruises to explore the area from the water. Further afield, enjoy days out to Grizedale Forest or Coniston Water (both within 10 miles).
The traditional cottage carefully combines characterful original features, such as stone walls and slate flooring, with contemporary decor and an array of homely touches. Enter the cottage directly into the inviting lounge, where two plump sofas are set around a TV and a cosy wood burner-effect electric fire – the perfect place to unwind after a day of outdoor adventure. To the rear of the cottage is a country-style kitchen where you can rustle up delicious home-cooked feasts to share around the cute dining table. Upstairs, two elegant bedrooms await – a double and a twin – with calming decor and plush linens for a good night's sleep. The top floor of the cottage houses a cosy single bedroom, providing an alternative sleeping space for a fourth guest, along with the contemporary family bathroom. Please note, the second floor has a sloping ceiling, and you may experience restricted head height in some areas.
From the kitchen, a door opens onto an enclosed courtyard garden where you'll find furniture for outdoor dining on balmy summer evenings. A parking permit for nearby car parks is provided.
