Situated in a peaceful lane in the traditional Lakeland town of Ambleside this pretty, two-bedroom mews style cottage is set in the popular Kirkland Foot area. A short walk down Peggy Hill will place you in the very heart of town where you will find a variety of specialist shops and an excellent choice of places to eat and drink. You will find many excellent cafes, restaurants and pubs. There are also two modern, independent cinemas for you to visit. If you feel adventurous set out from your doorstep to explore the majestic fells. Go up nearby Wansfell Pike to gaze at the beautiful Western fells or take the steep, short walk up Todd Crag to enjoy wonderful views down the length of Lake Windermere. Walk fifteen-minutes from the town centre to Waterhead and hire a boat to search out it’s secluded bays or take a lovely cruise to see panoramic scenery and shoreline walks waiting for you to explore. Enter through your front entrance into a little hallway with useful hanging space for your outside wear. Step into your lovely, spacious and welcoming open-plan living area, the perfect place for the family to come together. The inviting kitchen area lies at the end of this attractive room ensuring that the cooks can join in with the rest of the family when the day’s events are being recalled or when making tomorrow’s plans. Head upstairs to your comfortably furnished bedrooms, a delightful double and a bright twin. You will also find the modern family bathroom on this level. Venture outside to experience the bright, sunny aspect that Ashness enjoys. Sit out on the garden furniture provided in your store, before heading out for your adventure.

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.
