This quaint, stone-built cottage lies in an ideal position just minutes’ walk from the amenities and attractions of Ambleside in the heart of the Lake District. Appealing to families and friends, Amble Cottage has been tastefully furnished to provide a welcoming holiday base with plenty of opportunity from the doorstep. Enter into the cosy sitting room and you will immediately feel right at home with the original stone slab floors and feature fireplace with gas stove providing a warm ambiance to welcome you after a day of fell walking. Move into the cottage style kitchen to find a quality selection of appliances to assist you throughout your stay, including an electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a pretty dining table for all to gather at mealtimes to enjoy a lovingly prepared feast. A patio door will lead to the small rear patio with room to sit outside at the garden furniture and enjoy a drink whilst you contemplate how to spend the rest of your getaway – will it be browsing the independent shops in Ambleside or how about a cruise across Lake Windermere whilst admiring the dramatic scenery on offer? As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to find a double and twin bedroom, both of which have been furnished with refreshing colours and fabrics, along with ample storage space for your personal belongings. Up another level you will discover a single bedroom with limited bedroom, plus the family bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. Walkers will delight in the area as there are a number of sublime walking routes right from the door – take off up Loughrigg Fell or head towards Rydal Park where you can explore the huge caves and stepping stones to jump across! Ambleside itself is a lively village with a host of restaurants, pubs, traditional inns, cafés and team rooms where you can enjoy a tasty lunch between adventures, before spending the afternoon exploring the quaint shops or challenging the family to a game of bowls or pitch and putt. An attractive home fit for a family adventure, whatever season of year.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
