2 Bedroom Cottage in Ambleside

Retreat to pure tranquillity with a stay in this stunning apartment in Sawrey, set in the heart of the Lake District. Lace up your walking boots and enjoy your pastoral surroundings before returning to this elegant holiday base with your family of four and two happy hounds.

Unravel your scarves, hang up your waterproofs in the winding hallway and head inside the lounge. This truly is the heart of the home, with deep, sumptuous furniture, a Smart TV and glorious views across the Lake District. Discover all the equipment you could need in the galley-style kitchen, while the dining table in the lounge suits family-focused dinners or on-the-go breakfasts. The bedrooms, a king-size and a cosy double bedroom, are both along the hallway together with the family bathroom. Both bedrooms boast tranquil colour palettes. Bask in the sunshine out in the pretty shared gardens, where you'll also discover private parking for one car.

Avid walkers and keen hikers will be well-served when they choose to stay in this Lake District holiday home. Take advantage of the immediate local footpaths leading to the fells, lakes and villages, and exceptionally, the 2.5-mile route to the bustling market village of Hawkshead. Recharge with a hot brew and chunks of Grasmere gingerbread in Windemere (2.5 miles) before continuing your adventure around Lake Windemere. Hire a boat, take a cruise around the lake, or continue to explore on foot with a 5.5-mile wonder around Windemere's Western Shore. For a less strenuous afternoon, meander around Beatrix Potter's cherished residence (0.5 miles).
