    “Birchcroft is a very cosy cottage, situated centrally in Ambleside.”

    The cottage is very well equipped, spacious and has the luxury of two bathrooms!! Sadly, it does not have a garden - just a small courtyard equipped with a table and chairs. Parking is immediately outside the property but limited to one hour. The restriction starts at 10:00 and ends at 18.00. So ot is possible to park outside from 17:00 until 11:00 the next day. However, a parking permit is provided for use at a nearby car park outside these times. Birchcroft is within a very short walk of all ...

    The cottage is very well equipped, spacious and has the luxury of two bathrooms!! Sadly, it does not have a garden - just a small courtyard equipped with a table and chairs.

However, a parking permit is provided for use at a nearby car park outside these times. Birchcroft is within a very short walk of all Ambleside's shops, restaurants, pubs, etc. The town is ideally located in relation to other Lake District towns. Frequent bus services to all the Lake District towns operate from King Street, which is extremely close to Birchcroft. It being a small cottage, the stairs are steep and have turn in them. A banister would help enormously.

If you're discovering Ambleside for the first time, or returning to a place you love, location doesn't come much easier than this. == Accommodation in detail Central Ambleside parking permit for convenient access to property and village. Entrance hall leads to lounge, which is open to, but separate from, the dining area. Stone-flagged floors throughout this living area with sumptuous rugs for warmth. A couple of steps lead to modern fitted kitchen. Back door leads out to the small patio area. Upstairs find two adorable and cosy bedrooms with luxurious bathrooms and TV. Location Central Ambleside permit parking gives you reliable access to the delights of the village; varied shops, cafes, excellent restaurants, pubs, bars and cinema. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from nearby Waterhead Pier, ferrying passengers the full length of the lake with stops at Bowness and Lakeside. Ambleside's location is also ideal for keen walkers; numerous spectacular routes begin nearby and the village is renowned as a hotspot for hiking gear and advice. For exploring, the A591 road leads effortlessly south to Bowness, north to Grasmere and on via simple navigation to the Langdales and Coniston.

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.
