About this property

Historic cottage hideaway for 2 in tranquil Rydal, open fire cosy kitchen/diner

Amenities: Gas central heating, open fire. Bathroom with shower over. Smart TV. Ipod Dock with Sonos system. Shared garden, small private patio with furniture. Parking for one car

Town: 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.

Brilliant Location

Lovely property in a great location. Great for walks straight from the front door with our favourite pub, the Badger Bar 10 mins walk away. Stunning views from lounge and bedroom windows. Let down badly by cleanliness. Lounge very dusty and lots of cobwebs and spiders, which we had to remove, on every wall. Same in bedroom above the cupboard. Carpets and rugs were shabby. Shower temperature adjuster didn't work so shower was far too hot.
