This characterful Lakeland cottage combines with a well-appointed annexe, providing the perfect base for groups of family and friends planning national park adventures together. Wander beside the River Rothay and grab a creamy latte on Ambleside's bustling main street, then stretch your legs on the pretty walk to Stock Ghyll Force (0.5 miles) to capture photos of the imposing waterfall. Lake Windermere is right on your doorstep for boat cruises from Waterhead Pier (1.5 miles) – or hop on the Windermere Ferry at Bowness (6 miles) to explore the quieter western shore. Outdoorsy types will love the climb up Loughrigg Fell (4.5 miles), while Wansfell Pike (5 miles) is a brilliant hike that rewards adventurers with outstanding views over Windermere and Ambleside. Round off the day with a nosy around Grasmere (5 miles) for a taste of its namesake gingerbread and Wordsworth links. Step inside this attractive cottage and into the beautifully styled, open-plan living space. Featuring flagstone flooring, exposed stone walls and traditional oak beams, this beautiful room combines a well-appointed kitchen with an airy dining space and cosy lounge – all warmed by underfloor heating and a roaring wood burner. Find all you need in the kitchen to cook up Lakeland feasts, which you can enjoy at the farmhouse dining table inside or alfresco out on the patio. After each meal, head to the lounge space to sink into the soft seating and flick on the Smart TV. When it's time to call it a night, head upstairs and choose from two gorgeous king-size bedrooms. One bedroom features an en-suite shower room, while the other is served by the family bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. Perfect for groups wishing to spread out, a sleek annexe stands ready with a double bedroom served by an en-suite shower room with a rainfall shower. This handy addition to the cottage also includes an open-plan living space with a kitchenette and a lounge featuring a Smart TV and wood burner. Combining the two properties and inviting you all to spill outside, the unenclosed courtyard garden boasts outdoor furniture, perfect for al fresco morning coffees and evening tipples. You'll also benefit from one parking permit for a choice of nearby car parks.
