“Love this place but don’t want to keep recommending it as you will all book it before me!”

- Carolyn, November 2023
Christopher October 2023

“Third time staying at Redwood.”

A wonderful, well-equipped and comfortable property in a quiet location within easy reach of Ambleside's amenities. If you are interested in wildlife, there is plenty to be seen from the kitchen window. Numerous birds on the peanut feeder. We also saw badger and a buzzard being harried by two crows in the field beyond the garden. Many thanks to the owners for making our stay special.

- Christopher, October 2023
Robert August 2023

“This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in up in the Lake District.”

It is spotlessly clean and is so very well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch with tea , coffee and milk supplied to start us off when we arrived. We met the owners too who are lovely people and I’ve told them we will be definitely back soon. Thank you to everyone, Regards the Day family.

- Robert, August 2023
Kate July 2023

“We've stayed in Ambleside many times, Redwood was by far our favourite.”

Perfect central location for walking, eating and drinking. Accommodation was fabulously appointed, the owners had thought of everything. Lovely welcome pack and amazing wildlife visiting the property, all sorts of birds for enthusiasts, a deer and three regular badgers a real bonus! We were extremely comfortable and the addition of an EV charger made it a stand out. We very much hope to be back in 2024.

Stephen November 2022

“We had another fantastic stay at Redwood, our favourite holiday cottage in the Lakes.”

This was the 9th time we have booked a week there, and hopefully it won't be long before our 10th visit. We love everything about the cottage - it is cozy, spotlessly clean, and above all a very relaxing place to come back to every evening. It is in a brilliant location, is extremely quiet, and has fantastic views of the fells from upstairs. It is a credit to the owners, and we never rent anywhere else in the Lake District these days.

- Stephen, November 2022
Helen October 2022

“Very well presented and welcoming property.”

Good facilities, we had everything we needed and whilst only 2 of us we could have shared with another couple comfortably. Location is excellent. We had an excellent time and will definitely be looking to book here next time. Any chance of an EV charger being put in as I am getting an EV soon

- John, June 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We will definitely have an EV charger by the time that you visit again, just waiting for our electrician to organise it. Property Owner

Martin February 2022

“Lovely cottage with amazing views of the snow capped hills.”

Really appreciated the welcome pack and all the facilities such as the chill out room with music player. Cottage is also a book readers delight and has simple things like bird feed and binoculars which was a treat. Never stayed anywhere so well equipped. Easy walks nearby to Rydal, Grasmere, Stock Ghyll Waterfall or really tough ones up to Loughrigg. Love to go back.

- Martin, February 2022

Alan November 2021

“We had a great holiday at this property.”

We have had many holiday rentals in the UK but this one is up there at the top. It was spotless and had everything you need for a week away. We loved the quiet area it was in but it was still only around 12 minutes from the centre of Ambleside. The views from the upstairs windows were fabulous. If we stay in Ambleside again we would definitely be back.

- Alan, November 2021

The property

This modern detached property occupies a gently elevated spot on the lower slopes of Wansfell with superb views towards Loughrigg Fell and The Fairfield Horseshoe, only a half mile walk downhill into the heart of bustling Ambleside. Enjoying the very best of both worlds this contemporary cottage sits in a peaceful position yet handy for all the village amenities - bliss. Sociable couples or a family can spread out here, relax and soak up those views. Beautifully presented we think you will agree the open plan living space on the ground level is perfect and with patio doors leading onto a decked area complete with furniture to sip a cuppa or even a glass or two! The conservatory is a place to escape and relax and upstairs where the views are superb; the three bedrooms and the large and luxurious bathroom. Accommodation in detail Park right outside the garage; there is a front garden area with seating and entrance porch, perfect for walking clobber . Enter the open plan living space, bright and airy lounge area with leather sofas and lots of space and is open to the dining area with patio doors looking up onto Wansfell and leading out to the rear garden and decked patio complete with furniture being ideal for al-fresco living. An arch leads into the well equipped kitchen also admiring the view, and from here you can relax in the conservatory; there is also an additional shower room with wc off this room. Upstairs to the three bedrooms, two double and one single, beautifully presented and with stunning far reaching views and then the large and luxurious bathroom with double ended bath and separate power shower cubicle. Location Redwood nestles in a peaceful spot backing onto Wansfell yet only a half mile walk downhill to the centre of Ambleside. A holiday property in Ambleside provides an excellent starting point for a varied Lake District holiday. Easily accessible via the A591 on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a characterful Lakeland village with a spectacular backdrop of Lake District fells. The location is ideal for walking in the Lake District, with many renowned routes beginning in and around the village. But Ambleside is also a popular choice for a relaxed, slow-paced holiday. Contemporary and traditional shops, leisurely lake cruises, acclaimed Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs make the village centre a delight at any time of year. For evening entertainment, you'll find plenty to suit every taste. Try the renowned Force Mill restaurant, in a superbly converted saw mill, for a special evening out. Or, take your pick from the two quirky cinemas; Zeffirellis cinema includes a great pizzeria and live jazz bar. Fellinis has an excellent vegetarian restaurant and shows films in a relaxed studio cinema environment. You'll also find a wide range of pubs, serving hearty food and real Lakeland ale - notable for its lake shore setting is the Wateredge Inn. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Waterhead Pier, just outside Ambleside village centre. The elegant 'steamers' offer regular trips to Bowness and Lakeside - a great way to explore without driving. Evening cruises are also available, sometimes with buffet meals and live music.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

There is an EV charging point at the property, guests are required to bring their own charge cable. The cable outlet is type 2.
