This romantic bolthole in the heart of Ambleside is the perfect base for couples seeking a mix of relaxation and adventure. The apartment's central location means the village's shops, galleries, cafes, bars, and popular restaurants are all right on your door. The nearby fells beckon, visible from the lounge window, tempting even novice walkers to head straight into the hills. A gentle mile's stroll takes you to Lake Windermere at Waterhead, where you can hop aboard a cruise. Explore the lake at a leisurely pace, stopping off at waterside villages along the way to enjoy scenic views and local treats.
Inside, exposed stone walls and oak beams have been carefully preserved, while the oak flooring throughout adds a contemporary touch. The open-plan living area draws the eye to a wood burner nestled against the stonework – a cosy spot to gather on the leather sofa during cooler months. A window seat frames sweeping vistas over the rooftops to Loughrigg Fell, while the kitchen combines cool granite surfaces with limestone tiles for a sleek, stylish finish. The king-size bedroom continues the traditional theme, with charming windows, soft furnishings, and access to a dressing room complete with a day bed. Adjacent, the slate-tiled bathroom features a power shower over a deep bath – just the thing for easing tired legs after a day exploring the fells.
While the cottage doesn't have its own garden, the surrounding fells beckon from the doorstep, ready to be explored. Parking is available on the sloping roadside, or you can use the nearby car park with a permit provided.
