Welcome to a delightful retreat for four just a short walk from the centre of Ambleside. Combining contemporary accommodation with a welcoming and friendly feel, you’re sure to feel right at home here. With a lovely living room and fantastic dining kitchen on the ground floor, and two bedrooms and two shower rooms upstairs, everything has been thought of. Enjoying a convivial courtyard setting, there is private parking for one car - a rare treat so close to the centre of Ambleside.

With the town centre so close, why not leave the car where it is and head to explore on foot? There are a great choice of outdoor and independent shops to look around and lots of quirky cafes for a bite of lunch. Try out the indoor climbing wall or why not hire a motor boat for a day on the water?

Take a scenic drive to the magnificent Langdale Valley; head up Lingmoor Fell for stunning views of The Lakes or enjoy a picnic at picturesque Blea Tarn. Why not head to Keswick? Often considered the adventure capital of the Northern Lakes, sign up for an activity with one of the local adventure companies. Try raft building, ghyll scrambling or take on the Via Ferrata at Honister Slate mine if you’ve got a head for heights!

The front door leads you straight into the bright, welcoming living room. Relax on the sofas in front of the feature electric fire, there’s a Smart TV for entertainment. The living room also has wonderful views towards the popular Fairfield Horshoe, a must for serious fell walkers. Continue through to the modern dining kitchen, ideal for sociable mealtimes. The fantastic kitchen is well-equipped and the chefs in your group are sure to love cooking up a feast in here. There’s an electric oven and hob, fridge, handy microwave, dishwasher and plenty of useful cooking equipment. There’s also a washing machine should you need to make use of that during your stay and a freezer can be found in the under stairs cupboard.

Up on the first floor you’ll find the two spacious bedrooms. The lovely king-size room has a wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers for storage as well as its own en-suite shower room with WC, a real treat. The super-king-size bedroom has fantastic views of the Fairfield Horsehoe and also has a wardrobe and chest of drawers. This bedroom can be made up as a twin upon request. Also on the first floor is the fantastic family shower room. With a WC and luxurious modern shower, it’s ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles after a day out exploring.

Outside in the shared courtyard is a private parking space, a real bonus so close to the centre of Ambleside.

Fabulous accommodation in the heart of Ambleside. Great location for the South Lakes. Wonderful bus connections to the North Lakes, which I would highly recommend and leave the car in Ambleside. Lots of walks that can begin and finish from the cottage. Great restaurants on your doorstep, including The Priest Hole. Cottage is very cosy, well equippeRead mored and feels like home from home. This is our second stay and will definitely be coming back in the future. Hide

The cottage was ideally situated for the town centre and a 10 min walk to buses. We found the cottage very limited with lack of natural light in the living room and kitchen. The property as a whole was very spacious in bedrooms/ living /kitchen areas. The en-suite shower room needs upgrading to the same specifications as separate shower room- due tRead moreo barely acceptable water flow, very little storage area for toilet bags etc. Constant monitoring of central heating/ adjust temp, not ideal.

We enjoyed our stay in Ecclerigg Cottage. The cottage was very conveniently situated and just a short walk into town. It was very quiet and peaceful and the living area was warm and well lit with a large modern television. There was parking for one car on site and free street parking for a second car.

Wonderful cottage. Very comfortable and cosy at this time of the year. Great location and easy access to restaurants, bars and shops. Short walk to the pier to grab a boat to Bowness. Lots of great walks from the cottage. We did not use the car until Thursday (we arrived on Saturday!!)

Very conveniently situated close to the town centre yet very quiet. Parking is also quite a bonus. The cottage is spacious and very well presented. This was our second stay there and we will be happy to book for it again.
