9 Bedroom Cottage in Ambleside

For an unforgettable group holiday with family or friends, stay at this spectacular Lake District escape with unrivalled indoor entertainment. It’s in a gorgeous scenic spot and surrounded by unmatched views, but with a pub and shop just 1 mile away for convenience. You’ll have immediate connections to hiking and walking trails, without needing the car, and the beauty of the National Park right on your doorstep. Go paddleboarding on Lake Windermere (4 miles) and visit pretty Ambleside (3 miles), which offers shops, restaurants, bars, a cinema, tennis courts, mini-golf and an indoor climbing wall. Nature lovers won’t want to miss visit Stock Ghyll Force waterfall (3.5 miles) and explore cycling routes nearby. Aviation enthusiasts will love the regular sight and sound of RAF and USAF fast jets flying low over the area for tactical training. Oh, and you’ll have plenty of local sheep as neighbours!

On arrival, step through the old pub-style front door and into a vibrant open-plan lounge filled with striking red seating and games galore. This leads through to a decadent kitchen that comfortably seats 22 guests – fantastic for those holiday feasts. Swing chairs at the island create a playful spot for morning mimosas, while the state-of-the-art audio system helps you set the mood. The ground floor also has a pool room with a feature fireplace and a digital photo booth for capturing special memories, plus a luxurious blue bedroom with patio access and en-suite shower room, alongside a sage green bedroom with its own contemporary black and white en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the family room steals the show with retro leopard-print carpet, deluxe king-size bunk beds, a king-size, a single bed, a climbing wall, and a spacious en-suite shower room with three sinks. In the eaves sits the candy cane bedroom with two double beds and a bold green and pink en-suite bathroom with tub and walk-in shower. You’ll also have a tropical twin room with an en-suite shower room. There is also a cosy leafy-toned single room with desk and en-suite shower room, and a vibrant yellow bedroom with en-suite shower room. There are Smart TVs in every room.

Outside, the space is just as impressive and surrounded by mountain scenery. Stretch out on the sun loungers, soak in one of two full-size outdoor hot tubs or unwind in the 12-seater barrel sauna after a day on the fells. A full outdoor dining area includes a masonry BBQ and stone pizza oven, alongside an outdoor pool table and swing seating for laid-back fun. Ample private parking makes arrivals easy. Guests are kindly asked to keep doors closed due to sheep roaming the surrounding mountain area.
