Honey Cottage

About this property

Honey Cottage is an adorable Lake District property, ideal for one or two couples, set in a peaceful yet convenient setting just a short distance from the centre of Ambleside Village. The property has plenty of creature comforts, including two bathroom facilities, a downstairs cloakroom, a fabulous view towards Loughrigg Fell. Honey Cottage dates back to the 17th century, it oozes with charm and character. The location is perfect for exploring Ambleside, a vibrant town, and the surrounding area, where each guest can take things at their own pace. Nearby attractions include Lake Windermere, contemporary boutique shopping, evenings out in Ambleside village, and hikes on the Lakeland Fells - all of which start on the doorstep, so no need to drive

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.
