Look out over rolling fells from this charming cottage close to beautiful Lake Windermere. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway nestles in the village of Troutbeck, 4 miles from Ambleside and 3.5 miles from Windermere. Dating back to the 17th century, it has outside spaces where you can absorb the Lake District scenery, plus two wood burners for warming up on chilly days.
Step inside this enticing cottage to find it has a bright and airy interior filled with natural light. The large lounge, which has windows on two sides, has a TV to watch from the comfort of deep seating. Light the wood burner in here to bring a cosy glow to the space and curl up in the window seat with your holiday novel. Stroll through to the open-plan kitchen/diner to light a second wood burner during the colder months or to open the French windows to the courtyard garden. Whip up hearty feasts for your friends or family then dine together at the table. Follow the oak staircase up to the first floor of the house as the sun goes down over the fells. Here you will find both your bedrooms, a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a double room. The family bathroom, with a contemporary, free-standing bath, is also here. Look out over the Troutbeck Valley as you sip your first cup of tea of the day in the morning sunshine. Serve al fresco meals outside on fine summer evenings. There is private parking for one car at the cottage.
