Friends Cottage

About this property

Sitting in a quiet location less than 5 minutes’ walk from the centre of Ambleside, this cosy 18th century cottage has bags of character and a glimpse of Lake Windermere from the double bedroom. Friend’s Cottage makes a perfect base from which to explore - with walks from the doorstep to Wansfell, Fairfield Horseshoe and Jenkin's Crag. Followed by relaxing evenings snuggled up in front of the wood-burning stove.

Accommodation: Sitting room with wood-burning stove, dining table and TV. Separate study area. Kitchen with electric oven, hob and washing machine. Enclosed rear porch with access to outside terrace. First floor: one double bedroom, one single bedroom and family bathroom with bath, shower over, wash basin and WC.

Outside: Small seating area at front. Shared patio to rear with furniture. Parking for one small car, on roadside outside cottage.

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.
