Character and creativity shape every detail of this Ambleside holiday home, a cosy retreat for six guests just a few minutes' walk from the beating heart of the town. This family- and pet-friendly property is within easy reach of Ambleside's many attractions, including cafes, pubs, boutiques and gift shops along the main road (300 metres). A local climbing wall, mountain bike rental and water sports activity centres can be found nearby (within 0.5 miles), inviting you to stay active throughout your visit, while the abundance of waymarked pathways and national walking trails promise endless adventures for outdoor enthusiasts. Make your way down to Lake Windermere (1 mile), stopping to spot the ancient Roman fort ruins on its banks, before embarking on a nature walk or a scenic lake steamer ride. Explore Wansfell Pike (1.5 miles) and Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), or venture along the River Rothay to reach picturesque Rydal (1.5 miles).
Form meets function in this excellent holiday home, where delightful décor is paired with carefully selected appliances and essential creature comforts throughout. On arrival, enter through the front door into the open plan lounge. There is a boot room-come-utility on the ground floor, complete with laundry facilities and space to store outdoor equipment, coats and boots. A downstairs wet room with underfloor heating invites you to jump straight into the shower after a cold or wet walk, while the wood burner in the open-plan living area adds cosy warmth during winter stays. The living space combines lounge, kitchen and diner into one sociable hub, featuring charming decorations, well-equipped cooking facilities and ample seating for dining or relaxation. Alongside the Smart TV, you'll find a wide selection of books and games to enjoy when evening falls. When it's time for bed, head upstairs to the first floor, where you'll find two peaceful bedrooms: a twin and a king-size. A stylish family bathroom on this floor features underfloor heating and a freestanding roll-top bath. Steep cottage-style stairs lead up to the third and final bedroom, a king-size set beneath the property's trusses, with Velux windows offering lovely views across the rooftops towards Wansfell.
Savour the tranquillity of the courtyard garden at the rear of the property, a paved outdoor space with seating enclosed by characterful stone walls. A parking permit for one car is provided for a nearby local car park.
