Get the whole gang together at this light and spacious holiday home sitting just outside Ambleside. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, it's an ideal accommodation choice for families or groups of friends who are seeking a little peace and tranquillity in the heart of the Lake District. You'll find the amazing Stock Ghyll Force (300 metres) nearby, making trips to see this spectacular 70-foot-tall waterfall a breeze. The delightful sound of the falls is never far away while you're sitting in the cottage's garden. Alternatively, head to Waterhead Pier in Ambleside (1 mile) and climb aboard a boat to enjoy views of the Lakeland fells on a cruise to Bowness-on-Windermere or Lakeside. For a culinary treat, head into Grasmere (4 miles) to sample its world-famous gingerbread. While you're there, explore Dove Cottage, where the poet William Wordsworth once lived. Pull up in your private parking area (there's room for two cars) and store your outdoor gear in the entrance porch. Step inside your cottage and you'll be greeted by a spacious open-plan lounge/diner that's bathed in natural light from expansive windows that frame the beautiful country views. Take a moment to appreciate the sophisticated blend of crisp white walls and natural wood furnishings, before you head to the sleek kitchen to whip up some dinner. Get everyone together to eat at the dining table while you soak up the garden views. Head upstairs and you'll find three lovely bedrooms – a stylish king-size with dual-aspect windows, a twin and a single with cabin-style bunk bed (not suitable for children under five). A smart family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout. Step into the pretty patio garden and dine alfresco while you enjoy the views across the fells.
