An appealing Ambleside retreat, this light-filled cottage has an abundance of charm, character and sophisticated style. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom abode sits close to the town centre with its plethora of colourful shops, galleries and eateries. Pull on your walking boots and head straight out on an array of picturesque walks. The waterfall at Stock Ghyll Force is less than 1 mile away, and Wansfell Pike, with its magnificent far-reaching Lake District vistas, is just over 1.5 miles. Enchanting Troutbeck Tongue, tucked between Trout Beck and Hagg Beck, is a 6-mile walk from Ambleside. Also make your way down to the shores of Windermere, just over 1 mile from your cottage. Here at Waterhead, you can picnic and paddle and hire rowing boats, paddle boards and day cruisers. This is also where the Windermere cruise boats dock for those wishing to step aboard an organised trip. Open the door and step inside to emerge in an cosy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Set a fire in the wood burner on chilly days, then enjoy its cosy warmth as you head over to the kitchen to whip up the next tasty meal with Cumbrian produce from Ambleside. Dine together as the fire crackles, then help yourself to a book from the shelves or pick up the remote control to the TV. Sink back into the soft seating to relax together after your latest fun-filled adventure. When your sumptuous bedroom begins to beckon, make your way up to the first or second floor of the cottage. An airy twin bedroom, with a dressing room, is on the first floor, together with your bathroom, with its roll-top bath and separate shower. Head on up to the top floor of the cottage to discover the beautiful king-size bedroom, which has a charming vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Here, there is also a chic en-suite shower room to ensure everyone has the convenience of their own bathroom. While away warm evenings out on the bench, chatting and sharing a bottle of wine. There is no parking at this cottage, but guests will be given a parking permit for one car in the nearby public car park.
