Hillside Cottage is a traditional Lakeland terraced cottage perched at the top of a hill in a conservation area of Ambleside, Cumbria. The views towards Loughrigg Fell are spectacular. Traditionally furnished and full of character, this is a proper Lakeland cottage not a modern holiday let. The open fire in the lounge is the heart of the place.

Ambleside is one of the Lake District's best-positioned towns. Lake Windermere is just 1 mile away. Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, the Roman Fort and Stagshaw Gardens are all within 1.5 miles. The town centre is a few hundred metres away with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The Golden Rule pub rated by guests as the best in the Lake District is just a few steps from the door.

The cottage sleeps 6 across 4 bedrooms: one double, one twin and two singles. There's a shared bathroom with bath and separate shower plus a separate WC. The kitchen/diner features oak cabinets and granite worktops. A utility room and garage complete the layout.

Waterhead Pier (1 mile) for lake cruises, Ambleside Roman Fort (1.5 miles), Stock Ghyll Force (1.5 miles) and Stagshaw Gardens (1.5 miles) are all close by.

Hillside Cottage suits families and groups who want a genuine Lakeland base. Garage storage for bikes, parking outside and a brilliant town-centre location make this a practical and characterful choice.
