    “Our first time at Anniversary Cottage - what a lovely place!”

    It is extremely well equipped, comfortable and cosy. Set in the middle of Ambleside, the cottage is an ideal base for walks in the area and an easy drive to Coniston and the Langdales. There are plenty of great cycling routes too and if the weather's not good (this year ... rain, hail, strong winds!!) there are several places to visit - Armitt Museum, Townend, Wray Castle. We would recommend the Priest's Hole pub for excellent food and service. Hope to be rebooking Anniversary Cottage again ...

    Many thanks for the lovely comments and so pleased you had a great holiday. The thing about Ambleside is that there is always something to do if the weather does not co-operate. Also thrilled that you liked the equipment in the kitchen. That makes me very proud as I love cooking and always hope that if I am renting a cottage, the kitchen will be specced as well or better than home. That is what I aim for at the cottage.

The property

This charming Grade II-listed cottage is ideally located in one of Ambleside's oldest parts, providing easy access to the town's many attractions and the stunning natural scenery that have made it a tourist hotspot for generations.

With its immaculate decor and charming beams, this Lake District cottage is a great home base for groups of friends or families looking to discover the area's many attractions.

Upon entering this warm and inviting cottage, you will immediately feel at home thanks to the gas fireplace in the sitting room.

Additionally, there is a fully-stocked kitchen where guests can whip up delicious meals to be enjoyed either indoors at the dining table or al fresco in the garden with views of Ambleside and Loughrigg.

There are two bedrooms available, a double and a twin, both of which are serviced by a shared bathroom with a shower.

The Fairfield Horseshoe, Loughrigg, and Wansfell can all be reached on foot from Ambleside, making it a paradise for hikers.

Travelling over Loughrigg to Grasmere and stopping at The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop for ingredients would be a great way to spend a perfect day.

Ambleside's unique mix of stores, bars, and eateries, as well as its excellent three-screen cinema, ensure that the town is a good fit for any visitor.

Come on by Apple Pie Bakery for some tasty treats.

Whiteplatts Park, home to tennis courts, pitch-and-putt, crazy golf, and bowls, is located within walking distance of this homely holiday rental.

Relax with a drink on the patio after a long day, then head to one of the area's many excellent restaurants or inns to reminisce with friends and family.

Indulge in the allure of the Lake District every season at Anniversary Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
