Fabulously located cottage in the centre of Ambleside but down quiet side street. Beautifully appointed lounge and kitchen-diner. Could sit all day in the two seats in the window, watching the hills and the people walking below. Top bedroom has lack of headroom which isnt mentioned on website.

Beautiful cottage perfect for a family to explore Ambleside

Perfect cottage for us, lots of games for our 10 year old, jigsaws for the adults and lots of space for our black Labrador to sunbathe outside - the boot room doubled up as her bedroom and it was great having somewhere she could escape to at night to get much needed rests after walks and swims in Rydal Water. Lots of walks for us all to do directlyRead more from the cottage, and our 10 year old loved the freedom of going to the playpark on their own. Takeaways from Jintana Thai, Dodds and Misto. Had an amazing week, our first proper holiday since lockdown. Thank you for sharing your superb cottage with us - already thinking about when we can come back! Hide
