Roseberry Cottage is a stone-built Lakeland cottage in Ambleside, Cumbria, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. It sleeps four across two bedrooms and has been finished to a high contemporary standard while keeping its original character. Light-filled rooms and quality fittings throughout make this a cut above a typical holiday let.

Ambleside sits at the northern end of Windermere. You can walk to Waterhead Pier for ferry trips to Bowness. Grasmere is just 4 miles away. The fells start right on the doorstep Red Screes and Scafell Pike are both within 8 miles. This is proper Lake District territory.

The cottage sleeps four across two king-size bedrooms. Bedroom one has a roll-top bath in the room plus an en-suite shower room with WC. Bedroom two is served by a contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bath, separate shower and WC. There is also a ground-floor WC.

Waterhead Pier (0.5 miles) gives access to Windermere ferries. Grasmere village (4 miles / 10 mins) is famous for its gingerbread shop. Wray Castle grounds are a short drive west. Scafell Pike summit trails begin within 8 miles.
