Cloud Cottage

Cloud Cottage is a delightful retreat in the heart of Ambleside, with all amenities within a few minutes’ walk, yet in a peaceful location on a quiet street, with easy walks to the iconic Windermere, England’s largest lake, and some of Lakeland’s most beautiful and accessible hills. Being new to the market, it’s competitively priced, making this the ideal time to make your first booking.

This family-friendly property offers a warm welcome with its inviting woodburning stove and convenient parking, making it an ideal base for families or groups of friends seeking a memorable escape.

Step inside to discover a cosy sitting room with two neatly arranged sofas inviting you to unwind, a digital tv with an inbuilt DVD player (with a selection of DVDs) and a woodburning stove for cold winter nights.

Adjacent to the sitting room is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped for preparing delicious home-cooked meals, and a second, spacious and light-filled sitting area with a Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker, so whether you're the designated chef or simply keeping him or her company, the armchairs and sofa offer a comfortable spot to chill before gathering around the dining table to share a meal and stories from the day.

The cottage spans three floors and features three thoughtfully presented bedrooms.

On the first floor, a king-size bedroom offers a peaceful retreat and a large and recently refurbished bathroom including a bath, walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

The second floor comprises a double and a twin room, each providing a restful space and with spectacular views of the surrounding fells.

A ground-floor cloakroom with WC adds extra convenience for guests.

Outside, an enclosed rear patio awaits, complete with outdoor furniture, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining or a morning coffee.

From this charming base, you’re well-positioned to explore the natural beauty and cultural gems of the Lake District. Visit the National Trust’s Wray Castle, marvel at the cascading waters of Stock Ghyll Force, or add a thrill to your trip with a visit to Zip World Windermere, or walk the ancient but popular and easy paths to the stunning nearby villages of Grasmere or Troutbeck (and for serious fellwalkers, Ambleside is the start and end point of The Fairfield Horseshoe, one of Lakeland’s most famous mountain walks).

Families will love Brockhole on Windermere for its range of activities, while Orrest Head Viewpoint offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the region.

For a nostalgic day out, hop aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and explore the vintage vehicles at the Lakeland Motor Museum.

Don’t miss the Lakes Aquarium, home to the UK’s largest collection of freshwater fish.

With so much to see and do, much of it within walking distance or accessible by bus as well as car, Cloud Cottage is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories in the heart of the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
