Description
Violet Cottage is a wonderful mid-terrace cottage nestled in Ambleside, Cumbria.
Violet Cottage is an excellent option for two people or a small family because of its convenient location in the Lake District National Park, just a few feet from the shore of the world-famous Lake Windermere.
On the inside, you'll discover a inviting sitting area with a TV, a woodburning stove, and plush seating, perfect for unwinding after a long day; a well-appointed kitchen, where you can whip up your favourite foods; and a dining area with space for four. You can unwind with a bath at the end of the day or get a quick rinse under the overhead shower in the sleek bathroom located on the second floor.
There are two bedrooms available, two doubles, both of which are attractively designed and feature front and rear views.
Make use of the lovely rear patio garden area, perfect for relaxing with a drink after a day of wandering the fells. There is also a bench to the front, where you can sit and enjoy the view across Ambleside and to the mountains beyond.
Check out Fellinis, Copper Pot, and The Old Stamp House for some tasty eats; stop by the convenience store, the Armitt Library and Museum, and the breathtaking 70-foot Stock Ghyll Force; and learn about Roman occupation in the area at the interesting Roman Fort, which dates back to the 2nd-century. Nearby, you may also explore Rydal, where you can climb through the breath-taking manmade Rydal Cave and visit Rydal Mount & Gardens, or continue on to Grasmere, where you can tour the former home of William Wordsworth.
The next destination is Windermere, where you can try your hand at a range of watersports on Lake Windermere, take in the scenery from atop Queen Adelaide's Hill, play a round of golf at the world-class Windermere Golf Club, and dine on fresh seafood at Hooked. You can also visit Keswick, which is home to the Derwent Pencil Museum and the Theatre By The Lake, as well as the Keswick Museum. Violet Cottage has this and much more in store for you.

What guests are saying
We had a great stay at Violet Cottage.
It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed provided. It was lovely and peaceful but right in the heart of Ambleside. It is a great location. It is unfortunate that it is listed with parking facilities. You can't really park outside the cottage as it is on a narrow lane, and even a small car doesn't fit. We parked a few streets away, which was fine.
Lovely little cottage in a great location.
Well equipped and homely for a few days away
We had a lovely stay at Violet Cottage.
The cottage is well furnished, lovely tableware and comfy beds. It was styled beautifully and felt really homely. The only thing I wouldn’t agree with is the street parking. In order to allow cars to drive past, I had to park very close to the entrance to the cottage so it was hard to get into the cottage once we’d parked and the only alternative was paid parking, so I managed. The WiFi buffered a lot with the thick walls, I was less bothered but my 5 year old was very bothered
