Accommodation Details
Two bedrooms: Sleeps 4. 1 double bedroom. 1 king size or twin-bedded room. Bathroom with large walk-in shower. 2 WCs.
Situated in the heart of Ambleside village, this traditional whitewashed character cottage has been lovingly restored retaining much of the original charm whilst adding everything you could need for a memorable stay. Tucked away near to the village's main street in the heart of Ambleside, the cosy cottage has a woodburning stove and window seats offering a tranquil retreat and a great place to sit and watch the village. Leave the car behind, and explore the nearby Stock Ghyll Falls, or the beautiful walk to Grasmere along the shores of Rydal Water. For a more challenging walk head up to Fairfield Horseshoe one of the classic Lake District Walks. Literary fans can easily visit Rydal Mount, the family home of William Wordsworth, or simply enjoy the eclectic selection of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes that Ambleside has to offer.
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.

Reviews
Not what we thought it was from the photos on Sykes. It's not a cottage it's a old townhouse over three floors. Musty smelling. Not cleaned properly with dust everywhere. Rickety stairs meant walking up and down felt unsafe. Top bedroom is in roof and slanted so you cannot walk around the bed. You have to skip over your partner to get into bed. Toilet in the bathroom faces a window with people walking outside - no blind to cover the window. There was laminated notice asking for users to strip the beds down to save them the job. Which is a joke as that's literally what users are paying for. We stayed for three nights and put up with it but left feeling a bit duped by the promotional photos and description.
