An enticing hideaway for couples, this peaceful property is set right by the River Brathay in Clappersgate. Sleeping two guests, the cosy one-bedroom cottage is perfect for that relaxed Lakeland retreat. Less than 1 mile from vibrant Ambleside, with its shops and eateries, it is only slightly further from Waterhead, where you can hire motor or rowing boats or hop aboard a lake cruise. Alternatively, lace up your boots and step straight out to follow a footpath up to Todd Crag, 0.5 miles away. Stride further on to reach Loughrigg Fell, 2.5 miles away. The National Trust's beautiful Stagshaw Gardens and the picturesque waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force are both a 1.5-mile walk from the cottage. Other beauty spots well worth visiting include the National Trust's splendid Tarn Hows, 5 miles away, and the dramatic Cathedral Cavern, 4 miles away. Coniston Water, with its walks and scenery, is just 7 miles away.
Let yourselves into the cottage via the front door. Hang your coats and leave your boots before taking four steps down to find yourselves in the hallway. Wander on through to discover stylish accommodation that has been created with your comfort in mind. Head through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to relax and spend quality time together. Choose a book from the shelves or find a film on TV. Cuddle up on the sofa to make plans for the following day. The kitchen area has been arranged with everything you need to help you cater for yourselves whenever you choose not to dine out. Rustle up tasty dishes here with Lakeland produce, then sit down to meals for two at the table. Choose whether to lounge in the bath tub or enjoy a refreshing shower before making your way through to the immaculate double bedroom for a perfect night's sleep.
Sip your first cup of tea of the day on the bench to the front of the cottage. Stroll over to the shared waterside garden to spot the native wildlife and listen to the sound of the river rushing by. There is parking for one car with the cottage.
