About this property
Fox Corner has been refurbished to exacting standards, it sits in a rural setting close to Ambleside and is a romantic, enchanting retreat with panoramic, picturesque views. The property is the perfect luxury escape for couples and offers a host of fine features both inside and outside its walls. There are glimpses of Lake Windermere from this cosy and sumptuous getaway, deers have been seen drinking for the nearby Pull Wood stream and the area is rich with birds such as owls and buzzards.
A stylish lounge/ kitchen / diner is perfect for quiet nights in, with sumptuous furnishings, a warming wood burning stove and a lovely kitchen for cooking candlelit dinners. On warm days, take your romantic meals outside onto the decking area, whilst drinking in the amazing views. Outside there’s also a hot tub to relax in and sip a glass of sparkles. Exhilarating walks lie in every direction and you'll find one of the Lake District's best country pubs - the Drunken Duck Inn and Restaurant - just a short drive away.
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.

This is a cosy very well equipped cottage, that gives a great base for walking and exploring the lakes. The facilities and location are brilliant. The hot tub and patio area are superb for relaxing after a long walk and viewing all the wildlife. Deer, foxes, birds etc. Only one thing to mention. The photos give the impression thst the cottage is bigger than it actually is. But, it is plenty big enough for two adults and dog if you have one. Definately be looking at going back

A personal favourite was watching the deer, buzzards and other wildlife. The cottage has all facilities required for a couple and the balcony is an added bonus with perfect jacuzzi, so beautiful! The only thing I would say is that checking in and out times are a little late/early but I appreciate the cross over preparation time and the bedroom felt/smelt a little damp, especially the drawers but I guess that's due to the age of the place, perhaps some extra ventilation is needed down there. Lakelovers were also really quick to accommodate us after we had to postpone due to the first lockdown - it was worth the extra year wait! Thanks again, we will return when the crazy prices hopefully go down a little. Can't wait!
