    “I visit the lakes every year (at least twice) and have stayed in a huge range of different types of accommodation and many different cottages and I can honestly say I have never stayed in such a beautifully decorated, and stylish cottage in the lakes.”

    It’s such a perfect blend of traditional and cozy yet with high end decor and textiles Even the pans and crockery are quality. They do not scrimp on the comforts at all which I’ve never seen in a rental! I actually couldn’t believe it for the price. It was impeccably clean and warm whe we arrived They even leave you a welcome gift that is above and beyond the norm. It honestly has everything you need and more. It’s a perfect distance from the town a 3 min walk We stayed 3 adults ...

It’s a perfect distance from the town a 3 min walk We stayed 3 adults and 1 child very comfortably And actually stayed home more than we would normally would in a rental as it felt so homely and cooked played games and watched lots of movies as the TV had lots of choice. We will be back Thank you!

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.
