A bright, inviting retreat, this single-storey holiday home is ideal for those seeking convenience as well as magnificent Lake District scenery. Sitting in a quiet spot on the outskirts of Ambleside, the two-bedroom cottage sleeps four guests and captures beautiful views. At the same time, it is just a short walk to independent shops, pubs and eateries. Visit the Ambleside Roman Fort, the same distance away, or wander round the National Trust's beautiful Stagshaw Gardens, 1.5 miles from the cottage. Stroll less than 1 mile to see Stock Ghyll Force waterfall or lace up your hiking boots and climb the steep slopes of Wansfell Pike, 2 miles away. Head 4 miles to Grasmere to buy local gingerbread and visit Dove Cottage, the former home of poet William Wordsworth. Return from your trips out to this welcoming retreat. The hall here doubles as a utility area and offers ample space for hanging jackets and storing walking boots and wellies. Head through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to unpack any groceries you have bought. The attractive kitchen area features modern units and a range of appliances and accessories to ensure you have everything you need at your fingertips when it comes to catering for your party. Make fresh coffee or juice in the machines provided to enjoy at the table or on the comfortable seating. Dine together in style, then choose a book or game from the shelves and amble over to the comfortable seating. This is also the perfect spot to gather in front of the Smart TV. From the lounge area, there is a nook, where you can pull back the bi-folding doors and lose yourselves in the wonderful views. Step out from here to enjoy indoor/outdoor living too. Your lovely bedrooms also come off the lounge. Awake to scenic fell views from the twin, which has an en-suite shower room. Enjoy long, lazy mornings in bed in front of the Smart TV in the king bedroom, which has the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom. Unwind in the glorious summer sunshine on the slate patio, with its glass balustrade. Dine under the stars and gaze out across the greenery towards the hills in the distance. There is private, off-road parking for three cars at this cottage.
