Floral textures, antique-style decor and pastel-painted nooks make this characterful cottage a truly unforgettable base in picturesque Cumbria. Nestled in the quaint village of Troutbeck, just 4 miles from Ambleside and 3 from Windermere, this beautifully rural yet well-connected retreat promises peace, relaxation and easy access to countless walking routes throughout the Lakes. Accommodating up to six guests and welcoming dogs, the property is designed for comfort, with plush mattresses, soft linens and luxury touches – including two roll-top bathtubs – ensuring a stay where wellbeing is woven into every detail.
Every corner of this lovingly styled cottage reflects care and character. On the ground floor, find two inviting spaces for unwinding – a country kitchen/diner and a spacious lounge. The kitchen is ideal for preparing meals, sharing stories and raising a toast over dinner, while the lounge offers a cosy setting for curling up by the wood burner and watching the Smart TV. A handy WC sits on the way upstairs, where you’ll find three bedrooms – one super-king-size and two king-size – along with two elegant bathrooms, one en-suite. Both feature stunning slipper baths, perfect for long soaks after a day in the hills. Outside, the large, fully enclosed garden offers sweeping views of the surrounding fells, with private parking for two cars completing the picture.
Perfectly positioned for exploring one of Cumbria’s most beloved regions, the cottage lies just 2 miles from Lake Windermere, where you can enjoy lakeside walks, steamer trips and water sports from kayaking to paddleboarding. Head to nearby Ambleside, a charming market town of cobbled lanes and historic architecture. Set out from your doorstep to reach Stock Ghyll Force (2.5 miles) and Wansfell Pike (1.5 miles) before circling down into Ambleside to refuel in a welcoming local pub or independent restaurant.
