    “Absolutely beautiful.”

    After an 8hr drive from London as soon as you walk in all the stresses just drain away. The views are amazing and this property is perfect and ticks every box. It's our a second time staying here and I was slightly worried about returning incase it wasn't as good this time but it was even better. The owners have thought of everything. The welcome basket was a really lovely touch. No need to pack hairdryers there's one in every room. Listening to the lake water all night running past the ...

    After an 8hr drive from London as soon as you walk in all the stresses just drain away. The views are amazing and this property is perfect and ticks every box. It's our a second time staying here and I was slightly worried about returning incase it wasn't as good this time but it was even better. The owners have thought of everything. The welcome basket was a really lovely touch. No need to pack hairdryers there's one in every room. Listening to the lake water all night running past the bedroom is absolute heaven. Chesters which is a stones throw away is a great place to have breakfast before a lovely walk/hike which you can do plenty of from the cottage. There was four of us so we had plenty of room we took games with us but the owners have a big box full of games so no need to. I really cannot recommend this property enough. The owners leave you their phone number and reply to any messages straight away we which was brilliant. Perfect property in a perfect location.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
