Escape with your special someone to this beautiful holiday home in one of the oldest parts of Ambleside. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it's a perfect accommodation choice for romantic couples in search of a quaint retreat to call home while they explore the Lake District National Park together. Make a beeline for Rydal Water (2 miles), where some stunning hiking trails connect Ambleside and Grasmere beneath the slopes of Loughrigg Fell and Nab Scar. Alternatively, head into Bowness-on-Windermere (6 miles) to take a boat trip on the lake and check out its cool shops and cosy pubs. Further afield, venture into Kendal (13.5 miles) to explore the shops and galleries in its atmospheric web of cobbled alleyways and climb Castle Hill to take in the fantastic views across the town. Afterwards, sample some brews at one of the town's world-class distilleries.
Step inside this characterful retreat for two and you'll be welcomed by a beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining area with exposed timber beams, handmade oak units, traditional slate floors and a farmhouse table. Head to the first floor and you'll discover a peaceful lounge with a wood burner set in a striking stone fireplace – the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine after dinner. A handy wet room also sits on this floor. At the end of the day, retreat to the top floor, where a glamorous king-size bedroom awaits. This stylish space is anchored by a pretty ornamental fireplace, and it also boasts a double-ended roll-top bath – the cottage's stylish piece de resistance.
This romantic retreat may not have any outdoor space, but it sits in a prime central location for enjoying Ambleside right from your doorstep. Step outside and take a stroll to enjoy the gentle hum of village life. Permit parking for one car is provided.
