Todd Crag is a beautifully renovated, reverse-level cottage in Ambleside, Cumbria, sitting in an elevated position with far-reaching views towards Loughrigg and the surrounding fells. Designed in collaboration with a local architect, it sleeps six across three bedrooms. Note: this property does not have a hot tub.

Ambleside is one of the Lake District's most walkable towns. Windermere at Waterhead is less than a mile away. Wansfell Pike is a 1.5-mile walk with views of Windermere and the Langdale Pikes. Rydal Cave is just over 2 miles away via River Rothay stepping stones. Pubs, shops and eateries are all within easy reach.

The cottage sleeps six across three bedrooms. The double bedroom sits on the upper level alongside a family shower room. Downstairs you'll find a twin with en-suite shower and a dual-aspect king-size room with spectacular fell views. A family bathroom with bath, shower and underfloor heating completes the lower floor.

Stagshaw Gardens (National Trust, 0.8 miles / 3 mins), Hill Top (8.5 miles / 20 mins), Rydal Mount (2.2 miles / 6 mins) and Grasmere village (4 miles / 10 mins) are all close by.

Todd Crag suits families or groups of six wanting a well-equipped base in the heart of the Lakes. The open-plan kitchen with wine fridge and breakfast bar and panoramic picture windows make this a genuinely impressive property.
