Accommodation

Inside you'll find trendy furnishings throughout, alongside original features with tall ceilings and exposed wooden beams; follow the hallway through to the open-plan living space, sure to be the social hub of your holiday! Rustle up home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, whilst your guests uncork a bottle of wine and toast to your retreat. Dine at the eye-catching, black and white dining table, before settling into the sitting area to catch up with your loved ones or watch a show on the TV.

After outdoor adventures, step inside the contemporary, ground-floor bathroom to wash the day away with a relaxing bubble bath or a hot shower. The handy utility cupboard is just next door to throw muddy walking gear into the washer/dryer!

Climb the stairs and choose between two light-filled bedrooms; the mezzanine king-size zip/link is a quirky space to rest your head, with a balcony and a small, glass floor panel overlooking the living areas and wooden beams overhead. Next door, the queen-size is a snug, pretty room to hunker down before the next day's adventures.

Location

On your doorstep you'll find fantastic attractions and amenities; Ambleside is home to plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafés and shops for your self-catering stay, along with cinemas and bars for evening entertainment!

Adventurous guests will relish Ambleside Climbing Wall, whilst Waterhead sits at the northern tip of Lake Windermere for incredible views, where guests can enjoy cruises, boat trips and watersports with fabulous rural surroundings. Historians can visit the ruins of a 2nd-century Roman fort and National Trust's Wray Castle, or pack a picnic and take a stroll through magical woodlands to marvel at Stock Ghyll Force, a popular attraction not to be missed.

Take a short drive to Windermere, a bustling town for climbing up Orrest Head for panoramic views, strolling around Cook House Gallery or visiting beloved characters at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction. To the north lies Grasmere for Wordsworth fans and avid walkers; visit the Wordsworth Museum and discover the poet's former home, follow the circular route along River Rothay, followed by a traditional pub lunch.

Spend the day in Keswick to discover Derwent Pencil Museum, illusion exhibits at Puzzling Place, or spend the evening watching a play at Theatre By The Lake. You'll be in a prime spot for the best of the Lake District with a stay at 2 The Old Coach House.

A lovely quirky cottage.

Lots of light from upstairs windows. Parking was tight. Ideally situated.

We have had a fabulous week in Ambleside, the cottage is perfect and has everything you could possibly need.

It is in a great location surrounded by amazing walks and places to visit. Yes the parking is a bit tight but we knew that, it didn’t stop us from having a great time or put us off from staying again.

Excellent location in Ambleside close to shops & pubs.

Everything worked in the house and there was nothing we needed that wasn't there. Parking spot very useful in Ambleside however reverse parking in it was a little difficult, as was driving out of the spot as visibility is poor due to wall, pole and neighbours hedge limiting view, a trim would help. Don't bring your Range Rover unless you are a confident reverse parker and are prepared to exit the passenger side! The decoration level inside the property is a bit tired - as you'd probably expect from a rental property - it didn't impact our stay at all though.
