Indulge in a stay right at the heart of the vibrant Lakeland town of Ambleside. This three-storey, stone retreat sleeps six guests across three bedrooms and welcomes waggy-tailed companions too. Perfectly positioned for Ambleside’s many shops and eateries, it is also ideal for anyone hoping to spend time on or around Lake Windermere. There is a patio for outside dining and taking in the views out across the charming rooftops towards the scenic fells.
Climb the steps up to the front of the house and enter to find a hall and then the bright kitchen/diner. Unpack any tasty Cumbrian produce you have bought in town, then prepare a sumptuous feast that everyone can sit down to at the table by the window. A useful boot room and cellar that make ideal storage spaces are also in this part of the house. After dinner, head through to the lounge to watch your favourite programmes on the Smart TV and to enjoy some quality time together. When the day draws to a close, make your way up to the first floor of the cottage to lay your head in either the twin bedroom or the queen-size. The queen-size room has zip-and-link beds that can also be made up as twins by prior arrangement. The family bathroom is also on this level while a king-size bedroom, with splendid views, can be found on the floor above. Enjoy the fresh air of the Lake District out on the patio on fine days. Have a cocktail out here as the sun sets over the fells.
Stroll 1 mile from the property to see Ambleside’s famous fort. Walk the same distance down to Waterhead on the shores of Lake Windermere. Hire rowing or motor boats here or take a cruise out on the water.
