Escape the everyday at this fabulous cottage set in a slightly elevated position just outside the picturesque village of Ambleside. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it's an ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends searching for a peaceful retreat to call home while they explore the Lake District together. Spend a lovely day in Grasmere Village (5 miles), where you can pay a visit to the historic Dove Cottage – where the poet William Wordsworth lived from 1799 to 1808. Or grab your hiking boots to climb Loughrigg Fell (4.5 miles) and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views over Grasmere, Rydal Water and Windermere. Alternatively go wild swimming or fishing for perch and pike at Coniston Water (8 miles). While you're there, check out the Ruskin Museum, where you can learn all about John Ruskin, Donald Campbell and Bluebird, and Arthur Ransome. From your private parking area (there's room for two cars), step inside your country cottage. Make your way to the bright and cheerful lounge, where you'll find an inviting space overflowing with traditional charm and boutique-style comfort. When it's time to eat, head to the sleek and stylish kitchen/diner to rustle up your favourite meal. Share a casual dinner at the chic dining table and then retire to the lounge to relax in front of the Smart TV. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you'll find two stylish bedrooms – a king-size and a double. A smart family bathroom with a bath and shower completes the layout. Step outside and you’ll find a fully enclosed patio garden framed by traditional drystone walls. Dine alfresco while taking in the glorious fell views. If you're yearning for a little quiet time, disappear to the outside office space with a good book.
