This 2-bedroom cottage is a traditional stone property in Ambleside, Cumbria. Located in a quiet spot just outside the town centre, this property sits less than 200 metres from shops and cafes. The cottage sleeps 4 guests and serves as an ideal base for walkers exploring the Lake District.

Ambleside sits at the northern end of Lake Windermere, just one mile from the water's edge. The area offers direct access to walking routes including Grasmere and the Fairfield Horseshoe. You can hire boats, try windsurfing or paddleboarding on the lake.

The accommodation features two first-floor bedrooms: one double and one twin room with impressive views. A family shower room sits up another step from the twin bedroom. The ground floor has a lounge with coal-effect gas fire and Smart TV, plus a kitchen-diner with double oven, induction hob, dishwasher and washer-dryer. French doors open onto a private patio and there's a shared garden where children can play.

Lake Windermere (1 mile, 5 minutes) offers boat hire and water sports. Grasmere (4 miles, 12 minutes) is famous for its gingerbread shop. Rydal Water (2 miles, 7 minutes) provides peaceful lakeside walks. The Fairfield Horseshoe (3 miles, 10 minutes) challenges experienced fell walkers.

The cottage works brilliantly for walking families and outdoor enthusiasts. The practical porch dries wet boots and clothing after mountain days. Parking for one car plus bike storage makes this cottage perfect for active Lake District breaks.
