Description

Pudding Cottage is a family and dog friendly spacious 5 star property close to Ambleside and Windermere. The property is in a peaceful location at the head of a private lane as part of a group of traditional Lakeland buildings that formed the original coach house and stables for the 1st Earl of Lonsdale. With stunning scenery on you doorstep and a fabulously luxurious and contemporary finish, Pudding Cottage has received multiple awards both locally and nationally. The landscaped communal gardens attract a wide range of wildlife and many a guest has been delighted to spy our resident Jemima Puddle-ducks waiting for breakfast at the back door. Inclusive free leisure club membership is provided for 5 at nearby Choices Health Club at Troutbeck Bridge (approx 1 mile). With added luxury welcome items and toiletries provided, your stay will be relaxing and memorable from the moment you arrive.

This was one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in with lots of thought given to the “home away from home” facilities, furnishings and decor.

It is perfectly located for the visits to the surrounding region and the location of the cottage made for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. We had a wonderful stay at Pudding Cottage and would recommend it to others.
