    “A delightful cottage, ideal for us to explore the lakes by foot and road.”

    We particularly welcomed the communication on the first day and the package you left for us. The house was nice and warm; you could probably get a way with it being a couple of degrees cooler to save a little on bills. The kitchen is well equipped and the new oven was very efficient. Thank you for such a great stay.

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.
