    “Excellent. It’s elevated position provided lovely panoramic views.”

    The walk into town down the steep path at first daunting at the end became part and parcel of our daily routine and fitness. Super walks direct from the doorstep, the car remained in its designated parking space for the duration of the holiday. Excellent bus and ferry services also used to explore further afield.

    The walk into town down the steep path at first daunting at the end became part and parcel of our daily routine and fitness. Super walks direct from the doorstep, the car remained in its designated parking space for the duration of the holiday. Excellent bus and ferry services also used to explore further afield. Plenty of eateries for all tastes can be found in Ambleside as well as Force Restaurant a ten minute walk up the hill behind cottage for superb breakfast and wonderful views. Eating back at base no problem,Primrose Cottage kitchen is fully equipped to make family meals. The beds were so comfortable and afforded a good nights sleep after a days walking, mind you the end of walk beverage at The Golden Rule also helped. A really comfortable home from home and sat on the middle tier of the rear garden watching the sunset over Loughrigg Fell - priceless.

There is a charming front patio area with a bistro table and chairs where you can enjoy your morning coffee after parking along the roadside. Relax in front of the Smart TV on the two plush sofas in the inviting sitting room, which has an electric fireplace to add a soft glow and warmth. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, complete with a handy dishwasher, and serve up a feast for six people around table set in front a crackling woodburning stove, sure to become a favourite spot for your dog. On nicer days, why not savour your meals at the lovely picnic bench in the back sloped garden? You'll find a freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer in a utility room on the lower level of the property. There is a bath and shower on the first floor, where you can indulge in soothing soaks or freshen up after a day of adventure. Catch your rest in one of three well-appointed bedrooms, a super-king-size with zip/link, and two king-size, each with plenty of storage for your belongings and idyllic views over Ambleside's surrounding countryside. The Armitt Library & Museum Centre, White Platts Miniature Golf, Ambleside Climbing Wall and the 2nd-century Ambleside Roman Fort are all within walking distance. Six Michelin-starred restaurants are available in Ambleside, including the Drunken Duck Inn, the Old Stamp House, Lake Road Kitchen, and The Samling. You'll be able to enjoy a wide range of watersports, including sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, right outside your door on the famous Lake Windermere. Windermere has something for everyone, from the spectacular views of the Langdale Pikes from the vantage points of Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head to the Windermere Jetty Museum, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or Hooked. Continue on to Grasmere, where you can explore William Wordsworth's former home, hike along the River Rothay path, or explore the man-made Rydal Cave, built on the site of a former slate quarry. Keswick, with its Theatre By The Lake, Derwent Pencil Museum, and Derwent Island and House National Trust site, is a little further away. Your adventure to the Lakes begins at Primrose Cottage.

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.
