    “I lived in Ambleside during my teenage years and lived at number 5, two doors down from this property so I new what I was expecting.”

    I knew it was going to be cosy, quiet, compact, relaxed with all the 'nuances' you would expect with an old cottage like this. From the moment we walked in, my fiancee and 2 young children absolutely loved it. It is a perfect cosy cottage for a couple or family of 4 if your children are small/young. Our daughter (3) loved sitting in the window watching the birds! Very clean and tidy with all the facilities in place.

    I knew it was going to be cosy, quiet, compact, relaxed with all the 'nuances' you would expect with an old cottage like this. From the moment we walked in, my fiancee and 2 young children absolutely loved it. It is a perfect cosy cottage for a couple or family of 4 if your children are small/young. Our daughter (3) loved sitting in the window watching the birds! Very clean and tidy with all the facilities in place. Just an observation, be mindful of the water pressure can sometimes drop which is normal due to the age and infrastructure of these old cottages and we knew this beforehand. Due to the nature of the cottage, the toilet and shower room is a very compact space but is very clean and well designed and does the job. The kitchen and lounge and lovely spaces. The little table and chairs at the end of the pathway outside were a perfect place for a morning brew, enjoying the surroundings, watching the birds (that came right up to us), and the local cat who we all took a shine to! The allocated parking space is a great feature as well, just be careful when entering the space that you don't go over the yellow bar with your tires! Only a few minutes walk away from the centre of Ambleside, and in the other direction, 10-15 mins to Waterhead for the lake and boats. Also, it's a perfect location for going on car journeys to neighbouring villages whilst taking in the scenery and landscape along the way. Again just an observation, don't be put off by a slight 'aroma', these old cottages can at times have a little damp smell that you don't notice after a bit. Maybe a dehumidifier might help those who are sensitive to this. Again, context is important, this is an old traditional and rustic cottage and it is to be expected that it is not like a typical modern build. Would definitely stay again, we all had a great time!

The property

Fell View, a charming, traditional Lakeland cottage located a short stroll from the bustling town centre of Ambleside, Cumbria.

The well presented cottage offers the perfect escape for friends and families who want to make the most of their time in this stunning region. Cross the threshold into Fell View and kick your feet up in the inviting open-plan living space, where you can curl up on the plush sofas in front of the gas fire and catch up on your favourite shows in front of the Smart TV. After a day of exploring, the budding chef of the group can show off their skills in the well-equipped kitchen, before sampling their creations at the dining table; or if the weather permits, why not enjoy a refreshing beverage in the peaceful, enclosed rear courtyard with furniture.

When the sky darkens, retire to one of the two inviting bedrooms: a double and a bunk room, perfect for the little ones.

Freshen up in the shower room before completing your evening routine and hunkering down for the night.

In the morning, set off and explore the beautiful area of the Lake District National Park, where you can discover the charming town of Grasmere, known as the home of one of the most celebrated poets of the English language, William Wordsworth.

Take a stroll and admire the stunning views of the area, or visit the world-famous gingerbread shop!

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, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. 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.
