“Location great.”

Cleanliness great. Would have been good to have had wood for the fire when we arrived...only place we've stayed at that hasn't been provided; I really think that should be sorted. Seating in lounge v limited had 6 people been staying. Newly decorated so felt v 'together'. Would stay again. Thanks v much.

“Fantastic facilities for kids, lots of toys for all ages.”

This is the best equipped holiday cottage I've stayed in. Great central location but quiet.

The property

A charming and cosy Ambleside bolt hole. This lovely Lakeland stone cottage is set on a quiet side road at the heart of the village with shops, restaurants and pubs just around the corner. Return from a day on the fells to relax in front of the log burner or head out to one of the plethora of restaurants and pubs or perhaps an evening at the cinema. With fresh décor and guest comfort and convenience in mind throughout, Woolly End is always a popular choice Given the central location, you'll enjoy views to Wansfell from the front room and easy access to an abundance of walking routes. The owners have made the cottage a dream for families with toddlers; providing stairgates, fireguards, travel cot, high chair- perfect when so many local attractions including the lake shore are within walking distance. You'll find ample space for dining in and a lovely home to return to, wherever your days take you. == Accommodation in detail Parking permit provided for local car parks, plus visitors on-street permit. Small porch to the welcoming lounge with comfy furnishings. A multi fuel log burner is lovely to snuggle around in the evening. Separate dining room, adjacent to the designer kitchen. Upstairs to the attractive double bedroom with TV and wonderful Lakeland views. Across the landing, the twin bedroom has a useful washbasin. Upstairs again to the second double bedroom with TV, and the large, fully-tiled family bathroom with shower over bath. There are small, enclosed sitting-out areas to the front and rear of the cottage. Location You couldn't hope for a more convenient location, right at the heart of the Lake District's most sophisticated village community. Families or groups will enjoy their freedom and independence here, even without private transport. Nestled on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a charming historic village that has grown to become one of the most vibrant in the Lakes. Popular for its location close to the lake shore and surrounded by dramatic Lakeland Fells, it's easy to see why so many people return year after year to enjoy their favourite form of Lakeland village life! In the village centre, explore tempting cafes and a wide range of shops - everything from local craft to expert outdoor clothing. Ambleside is home to several acclaimed Lake District restaurants (try the Glass House for a memorable evening out) as well as many affordable cafes and family-oriented options. Ambleside even has two cinemas - the 5-screen Zeffirellis for mainstream films or the interesting Fellinis - a studio cinema with vegetarian restaurant. Perfect for a rainy day! Within walking distance of Ambleside village centre is Waterhead Pier; the departure point for Windermere Lake Cruises. With regular departures throughout the day, you'll find the elegant 'steamers' or smaller launches a perfect way to explore without a car. The boats travel the full length of the lake, with stops at Bowness and Lakeside.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.
