Close to fishing, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 12-minute walk to Lake Windermere or the 14-minute walk to Ambleside Climbing Wall.

After you return, you can unwind on the furnished patio or sip a drink in the garden. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the DVD player.

A living room and a fireplace are featured at this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even travel light because you'll have a washing machine.
