The cottage lies at the entrance to the estate which contains 50 acres of mature woodland, impressive landscaped gardens, half a mile of lakeshore, a private jetty and a shingle beach from which guests can launch boats and kayaks. It is approximately three miles from the attractive Lakeland towns of Ambleside and Hawkshead. Curlew Close sleeps six people and is ideal for a family or a group of couples.

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.
