A charming cottage in the Lake District village of Ambleside, this delightful retreat is suitable for couples and families with older children. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is within 350 metres of the town's shops, cafes and restaurants, ensuring great convenience throughout your stay. The National Trust's beautiful Stagshaw Gardens is 1.5 miles from your base. Waterhead, where you can take a cruise out on magnificent Windermere, is less than a 1-mile walk. Here you can also hire rowing boats, canoes and paddleboards or take yourselves off for the day on a motorboat. Stroll beside the lake and visit the Roman fort while you are here, too. Dig out your walking boots and wander less than a mile from the cottage to Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Keen hikers might also like to make their way 1.5 miles up Wansfell Pike for panoramic views over Windermere and Ambleside.

Enter the cottage via the generous hallway, which has slate flooring and ample room for your jackets, bags and walking boots. Discover that the property has a semi-reverse-level layout to make the most of the natural light and the views. On the ground floor, you have a delightful twin bedroom with plenty of space for both guests to move around easily. This bedroom also has the luxury of a large en-suite bathroom, with a shower and a bath to choose from. Make your way up to the first floor to discover the remaining bedroom, as well as your welcoming living areas. The landing encompasses a workspace for those wishing to open their laptops, as well as a bookshelf for your holiday reading requirements. Head into the beamed lounge/diner to gaze out towards the scenic fells or unwind on the soft seating in front of the TV. Open the French doors in here so you can all wander out into the bright sunshine. Gather around the wooden table to enjoy the delicious meals you have conjured up in the adjoining kitchen, which has been equipped with everything you are likely to need. The family shower room and the lovely double bedroom, which also has a sloped, beamed ceiling, are also on this level. Wake up to woodland views in this restful space.

Share dinner or a drink on the deck on summer evenings. The attractive fellside garden here features sloping lawns and colourful trees and shrubs. There is secure storage for bikes and canoes in the garage. The cottage comes with private, off-road parking for one car.
