Escape with your loved ones at this gorgeous period cottage in the heart of Ambleside. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it's a perfect accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends in search of a serene and stylish base to call home while they explore the Lake District together. Climb aboard a boat at Bowness-on-Windermere (5.5 miles) and take a tranquil cruise on England's longest lake. Afterwards, learn all about Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck at the World of Beatrix Potter, or check out the town's thriving local foodie scene. Alternatively, head to Grasmere (4 miles) to explore Dove Cottage – the former home of the poet William Wordsworth – and sample the famous Grasmere gingerbread. Or head into the beautiful village of Hawkshead (5 miles) to visit its historic church, admire its whitewashed cottages, and visit Hill Top House – where Beatrix Potter lived. From your private parking spot, step inside and you'll be greeted by an inviting space that seamlessly blends rustic charm with contemporary styling. Head to the open-plan living/dining area to make yourself at home. Take a moment to appreciate the mid-century-modern styling before you head to the kitchen to unleash your inner chef. Share a casual dinner at the elegant dining table and then return to the living area to relax by the flickering wood burner. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you'll discover two beautiful bedrooms – a super-king-size and a charming twin. A stylish family bathroom with an impressive cast-iron bath and a separate shower completes the layout. Relax in the south-facing patio garden, where you can soak up tranquil views of the rolling fells. Dine alfresco on the cottage's second patio – a secluded spot that is perfect for long, sunny lunches.
