About this property
If you are looking for that romantic break, this tradition Lakeland cottage is the one for you. Close to the Lakeland town of Ambleside and a short walk to Lake Windemere where you can take a cruise or hire a boat.

The cottage is tucked away from the hustle and bustle and is full of charm. Park in the lane and on entering the cottage you will step into the sitting room with character beams, wooden floor and a tradition fireplace with wood burner. A great place to relax after a walk or a days sightseeing.
A few steps take you to the kitchen and dining area where you will find everything you need to cook up that romantic meal or hearty breakfast.
Unwind in the comfortable first floor bedroom with king size bed, smart TV and separate walk in wardrobe. The stylish bathroom has a luxurious roll top bath and separate shower.
Outside is a rear gravelled patio with a fantastic pizza over and garden furniture. An ideal place to sit and read a book or enjoy a glass of wine with your homemade pizza.
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.
