Escape to the delightful Lakeland town of Ambleside with a stay at this light and airy cottage, perfect for couples and friends. With Ambleside's offerings on your doorstep, it couldn't be easier to step out and uncover the wealth of cosy cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as a wide choice of local boutiques. Popular attractions here include the historic Waterhead Pier – the starting point for ferries to Bowness and Lakeside Pier – and the beautiful grounds of Wray Castle. Keen hikers are spoilt with the summits of Red Screes, Scafell Pike, and The Old Man of Coniston all within 8 miles. Head off on a foodie adventure to Grasmere (4 miles), where visitors come year after year to try the town's namesake gingerbread. While you're here, make sure to explore Grasmere Lake or William Wordsworth's former home. This characterful stone cottage blends timeless charm with a fresh, contemporary finish. Step inside and be greeted by an airy lounge, perfect for post-adventure relaxation. Unwind here as you sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, and enjoy the glow of the wood burner-effect gas fire. In the next room, the whitewashed kitchen/diner offers a sleek space with everything needed for cooking up Lakeland feasts. Enjoy your holiday meals at the wooden dining table here, or alfresco out in the courtyard garden. When it's time to call it a night, follow the stairs to the first and second floors to choose from two characterful king-size bedrooms. One features a roll-top bath in the room and an en-suite shower room, while the other is served by a contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. When the sun shines, spill outside into the enclosed courtyard garden. This peaceful space invites you to gather for morning coffees and al fresco evening tipples. You'll also benefit from one parking permit for a nearby car park.
