Cloud Cottage is a delightful retreat nestled in the heart of Ambleside, Cumbria, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Lake District.
Within easy walking distance of the iconic Windermere, England’s largest lake, and some of Lakeland’s most beautiful hills, this family-friendly property offers a warm welcome with its inviting woodburning stove and convenient parking, making it an ideal base for families or groups of friends seeking a memorable escape.
Step inside to discover a cosy sitting room, where two neatly arranged sofas invite you to unwind.
A digital tv with an inbuilt DVD player (with a selection of DVDs) and a Smart TV provides entertainment for quiet evenings in, while the woodburning stove adds a comforting glow, perfect for those cooler nights when everyone settles in to enjoy a favourite show.
Adjacent to the sitting room is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped for preparing delicious home-cooked meals, and a second, spacious and light-filled sitting area, so whether you're the designated chef or simply keeping them company, the armchair and sofas offer a comfortable spot to chill before gathering around the dining table to share a meal and stories from the day.The cottage spans three floors and features three thoughtfully presented bedrooms.
On the first floor, a king-size bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, while the second floor hosts a double and a twin room, each providing a restful space to recharge after a day of adventure.
Also on the first floor, a large and recently refurbished bathroom includes a bath and a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, to ensures a refreshing start to your mornings.
A ground-floor cloakroom with WC adds extra convenience for guests.
Outside, an enclosed rear patio awaits, complete with outdoor furniture, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining or a morning coffee as the sun rises over the hills.
From this charming base, you’re well-positioned to explore the natural beauty and cultural gems of the Lake District.
Visit the National Trust’s Wray Castle, marvel at the cascading waters of Stock Ghyll Force, or add a thrill to your trip with a visit to Zip World Windermere, or walk the ancient but popular and easy paths to the stunning nearby villages of Grasmere or Troutbeck (and for serious fellwalkers, Ambleside is the start and end point of The Fairfield Horseshoe, one of Lakeland’s most famous mountain walks).
Families will love Brockhole on Windermere for its range of activities, while Orrest Head Viewpoint offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the region.
For a nostalgic day out, hop aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and explore the vintage vehicles at the Lakeland Motor Museum.
Don’t miss the Lakes Aquarium, home to the UK’s largest collection of freshwater fish.
With so much to see and do, much of it within walking distance or accessible by bus as well as car, Cloud Cottage is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories in the heart of the Lake District
