Ellers Close is a stone-built semi-detached farmhouse in Skelwith Bridge, Cumbria. One of four buildings on a historic farm estate, it sits in a peaceful hillside spot just over 2 miles from Ambleside. The property sleeps 4 guests across 3 bedrooms and offers period features throughout.

The Loughrigg and Skelwith Bridge area provides direct access to fell walks. Loughrigg Tarn sits a short walk behind the cottage. The more challenging Loughrigg Fell rewards hikers with open views across the fells.

Inside you'll find a king-size bedroom and two single bedrooms. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath. The lounge features high ceilings, large windows and an open fire. The dining room has a wood burner and looks onto the garden. The kitchen includes a ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge with freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

Stock Ghyll Force waterfall (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) drops 20 metres near Ambleside. Lake Windermere Ferry at Waterhead (3 miles, 10 minutes) crosses the lake. Ambleside town centre (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) has shops, cafes, restaurants and a cinema. Bridge House (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) sits over Stock Ghyll stream.

Ellers Close suits families and dog owners. The large rambling garden has a stream running through it and welcomes two dogs. Perfect for fell walkers wanting quick access to Loughrigg.
