    “We had a wonderful stay with our two children during October half term.”

    The cottage was very cosy and its location was perfect, just a short walk into town through beautiful scenery. There is a brilliant park nearby so the location is excellent for those with children. All the main attractions are a short drive away- Hill Top, Wray Castle, Brockhole, Tarn Hows, Beatrix Potter world and Grizedale forest. There is also a pretty walk/cycle from the cottage to Grasmere, which we discovered on the last day. The cinema in town was also perfect for a rainy morning. I’d ...

    The cottage was very cosy and its location was perfect, just a short walk into town through beautiful scenery. There is a brilliant park nearby so the location is excellent for those with children. All the main attractions are a short drive away- Hill Top, Wray Castle, Brockhole, Tarn Hows, Beatrix Potter world and Grizedale forest. There is also a pretty walk/cycle from the cottage to Grasmere, which we discovered on the last day. The cinema in town was also perfect for a rainy morning. I’d definitely recommend hiring a motor boat on the lake, which even the children steered! Lunch at the Towerbank Arms in Sawrey is also a must and the Tap House in Ambleside did the most amazing pizza and burgers! The cottage was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. The open fire was just lovely. We did have an issue with the shower that leaked through the ceiling into the downstairs electrics. Maintenance were quick to come and look at it but couldn’t solve the issue immediately. A small thing, but the can opener did not work so we had to borrow one from a neighbour apart from that, we would definitely come and stay again in this wonderful, cosy cottage!

Private parking for 2; a short flight of steps to enter; entrance hall with cloaks cupboard and space for walking clobber. The lounge / dining room has picture windows and deep cushioned furnishings to relax in by the warming open fire. The top of the range, modern kitchen is very well equipped and also has a lovely outlook. Upstairs to the two wonderful bedrooms, each with en-suite facility and the master with double ended Jacuzzi bath and separate power shower cubicle. ==Location This easily accessible holiday bolt hole provides a perfect base for a Lake District holiday - you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenery and close to Lake Windermere, but you'll also enjoy the convenience of a contemporary village community on your doorstep. Stunning gardens in an unforgettable location. This property boasts plenty of walks right from the doorstep. Ambleside is located on the northern shores of Lake Windermere; it's easily accessible via the very scenic A591 road. The village is a popular base for walking in the Lake District, but it's also one of the most sophisticated villages in terms of shopping and evening entertainment. There are some excellent restaurants in Ambleside, two quirky cinema venues and a range of cosy traditional pubs where Lakeland ale is the favoured tipple! We also recommend exploring some of the excellent country pubs near Ambleside, such as the famous Drunken Duck Inn and Restaurant - a must for special occasions and only a short drive or taxi ride away.

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.
