This charming escape is the perfect place for couples or small families to create lasting holiday memories. It's located in central Ambleside, a popular base for exploring the wider Lake District, but with much to offer in its own right. In the town itself, you'll find charming streets lined with cafes, shops and historic pubs. There's a great independent cinema, and within 1.5 miles, you can visit a Roman fort, the National Trust's Stagshaw Gardens and the extraordinary Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Stroll or take the shuttle bus to Waterhead Pier for scenic cruises of Lake Windermere or, if adventure calls, you're just minutes away from some of the Lake District's most iconic trails and stunning views, including the Coffin Trail, Loughrigg Fell and the iconic Fairfield Horseshoe. If you feel like venturing further afield, Windermere is 4.5 miles away, and Kendal is around 9 miles further.
Open the front door to your cosy retreat. The inviting interior instantly feels like home, with pale walls, wooden accents, and thoughtfully coordinating colours throughout. Kick off your shoes and unwind in the lounge, where a Smart TV awaits for an evening of relaxation after a day of exploration. This space is open plan to the kitchen/diner, which includes all the appliances you'll need to whip up delicious holiday meals, from hearty breakfasts to simple suppers, as well as a washer/dryer and a compact dining space. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms: a restful double and a compact twin, both with ample storage. Freshen up in the cottage's handsome bathroom, featuring a shower over the bath – ideal for soothing tired muscles after an active day in the fells.
While there is no dedicated private outside space for this property, you are just steps away from the amenities of Ambleside and its scenic attractions. Parking is by way of a permit, which can be used at several Westmorland and Furness Council car parks in the South Lakes area.
