Bobbin Cottage At The Falls is a two-storey cottage in Ambleside, Cumbria, sitting right on the edge of the river with an elevated first-floor lounge and south-facing balcony where you can hear the river below and spot wildlife in the surrounding trees. The distant sound of Stockghyll Falls drifts into the living space. No hot tub here but the setting more than compensates.

Ambleside town centre is just 0.5 miles away on foot. Lake Windermere is 1 mile. You've got pubs, cafes, an independent cinema and outdoor activity centres all within easy reach. Water sports, lake steamers and mountain biking are all on the doorstep.

The cottage sleeps 6 across three bedrooms. The ground-floor double has an en-suite shower room. Two first-floor rooms one double and one twin share a family bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Skylights flood the first-floor rooms with natural light.

Hill Top (Beatrix Potter's House) is 7.5 miles away. Bowness is 6 miles. Grizedale Forest is 8.5 miles. Orrest Head is 5.5 miles.

Bobbin Cottage At The Falls suits families or groups of six wanting a proper Lake District base with genuine riverside character and Ambleside on the doorstep.
