    “This our first time at Cringol Cottage and I hope not the last.”

    We had a wonderful few days there over what was a very wet weekend. The cottage was warm and cosy and very comfortable. For two of us it was perfect. Plenty of seating and we could chat while one of us cooked in what was a very easy to use kitchen. One of us was very sound sensitive and was slightly affected by traffic in the morning but it was a fairly quiet time of year otherwise it was blissfully quiet.

    We had a wonderful few days there over what was a very wet weekend. The cottage was warm and cosy and very comfortable. For two of us it was perfect. Plenty of seating and we could chat while one of us cooked in what was a very easy to use kitchen. One of us was very sound sensitive and was slightly affected by traffic in the morning but it was a fairly quiet time of year otherwise it was blissfully quiet. The bathroom was nice and spacious for such a small cottage and the shower was very good. The beds were very comfortable. If we had one issue it was a lack of drying space. The weather was so bad that venturing out into the fells was almost impossible but had we been inclined we would have been drenched. I suspect the bathroom would have been the only place to dry clothes and waterproofs. We had a wonderful time in what was such a great central location close to all we needed without having to use a car and the parking outside made life very easy and I have no hesitation recommending this cottage.

    Thank you for your positive feed back. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you are able to return some time soon. The shower has just been replaced, great to know its delivering! Merry Christmas Simon & Kim owners Property Owner

The property

Cringol Cottage is a wonderful Lakeland stone-built cottage in a location that makes it a very popular holiday home at any time of year.

The cottage is situated in a neat courtyard just moments away from the centre of Ambleside and Lake Windermere.

The cottage is well presented with quality furnishings and equipment and is maintained to a high standard.

Find the front door entrance where you are welcomed by a heated, inner porch with handy hanging/drying space for all the walking gear from your many adventures.

Continue through to an open-plan, well-furnished sitting/dining room where you can unwind and flick on the TV.

Find the fully-equipped kitchen area at one end and help the designated chef of the group whip up a hearty meal that you can all enjoy around the dining table.

When the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first floor to find a sleek bathroom where you can choose between a soothing soak or refreshing shower ahead of sloping off to sleep in either the double or single bedroom.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, take a short walk into the heart of Ambleside where you can find an array of eateries including cafes, restaurants and bars; the perfect setting for date nights or just to enjoy a well-earned evening meal! The nearby attractions make this property a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, try your hand at tennis, bowls, mini golf are enjoy a leisurely stroll through Rothay Park which houses a flowing river and children’s playground for little ones; there is also Borrans park where you can admire scenic views and otters, which tend to rise quite early.

Alternatively explore the other nearby Lakeland towns such as Windermere where you can roam around the famous lake, enjoy a lake cruise or be more adventurous by taking to the water on kayaks and paddle boards!

All of this and more awaits at Cringol Cottage. Cringol Cottage welcomes guests up to 3 persons.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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.

Cringol Cottage welcomes guests up to 3 persons (this includes an infant). 3 persons plus an infant will not be accepted.
