Escape to the delightful Lakeland town of Ambleside with a stay at this light and airy cottage, perfect for couples and friends. With Ambleside's offerings on your doorstep, it couldn't be easier to step out and uncover the wealth of cosy cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as a wide choice of local boutiques. Popular attractions here include the historic Waterhead Pier – the starting point for ferries to Bowness and Lakeside Pier – and the beautiful grounds of Wray Castle. Keen hikers are spoilt with the summits of Red Screes, Scafell Pike, and The Old Man of Coniston all within 8 miles. Head off on a foodie adventure to Grasmere (4 miles), where visitors come year after year to try the town's namesake gingerbread. While you're here, make sure to explore Grasmere Lake or William Wordsworth's former home.

This characterful stone cottage blends timeless charm with a fresh, contemporary finish. Step inside and be greeted by an airy lounge, perfect for post-adventure relaxation. Unwind here as you sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, and enjoy the glow of the wood burner-effect gas fire. In the next room, the whitewashed kitchen/diner offers a sleek space with everything needed for cooking up Lakeland feasts. Enjoy your holiday meals at the wooden dining table here, or alfresco out in the courtyard garden. When it's time to call it a night, follow the stairs to the first and second floors to choose from two characterful king-size bedrooms. One features a roll-top bath in the room and an en-suite shower room, while the other is served by a contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower.

When the sun shines, spill outside into the enclosed courtyard garden. This peaceful space invites you to gather for morning coffees and al fresco evening tipples. You'll also benefit from one parking permit for a nearby car park.

This is a nice property, but there were a few issues that guests need to be aware of.

Reviewed by Dina 23rd May 2025

The location of the property was excellent. There were endless walks from the doorstep and a good selection of shops and pubs nearby. The cottage was well equipped and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, convenient location. Stayed here 5 years ago and it was just as good as last time.

A lovely cottage in a lovely small town. Much enjoyed by us all, including the doggies. Thank you.

Loved our stay here with 2 couples our 18 month old and dog. The accommodation was super clean and really high quality, I.e. beds were comfy, kitchen had everything you could need and more, including kid friendly cutlery and bowls/plates. Was particularly impressed with the provision of stair gate, high chair and cot. The bathrooms are amazing, 2 bRead moreig showers and 2 full free standing tubs and an additional downstairs toilet. Would have loved to stay longer. Location is perfect if you don't have a car or just want to be within stumbling distance of a pub/restaurant. Lots of lovely walks straight out of the door including Stock Ghyll force which takes 20 mins max to walk to and a couple of low fells. Would 100% return and couldn't recommend the place strongly enough. Hide

Excellent place right in the centre of Ambleside. Had everything we needed and more. The parking pass made life very easy. One minor incident with an issue with the washing machine which was promptly resolved within an hour of reporting it.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Location ideal. Found Lakeland Retreats very efficient and helpful.

This was a lovely house to stay in. Excellent position in town. Good size bedrooms and main bathroom. Lots of hot water. Quick response from office when we had a query.

Wonderful location, right in the middle of Ambleside next door to a really good cafe. This was a great apartment and we had everything we needed for a week-long stay - four people and a small dog. Proper bonus: a roll-top bath in each of the two bathrooms meant we didn't need to compete to for a sudsy soak! Our third time to Ambleside - but this waRead mores the best place we've stayed so far.

What a wonderful house! Well positioned, spotless, everything you needed. We were given a bottle of Prosecco, a pint of milk and some dog biscuits, although we never had a dog with us. Nice quite private outside space too. We couldn't have been happier and will be booking again!
