Description

Silverhow Cottage is a traditional Lakeland terraced cottage located a stone's throw from the heart of picturesque Ambleside village.

Entering through the front door, you will be welcomed by the warmth of the wooden interior with bespoke artwork to appreciate.

The living/dining room has a Smart TV and a selection of books to keep you entertained and toasty with the electric fire display, as you share some stories about the day around the dining room table.

The kitchen combines traditional and contemporary with the original stone floor and amenities like a dishwasher to ease your stay, you can open up the rustic stable doors to the quaint courtyard, and there is also access down to the cellar through the kitchen, (just mind your head on the way down) here you will find a table tennis table perfect for keeping children entertained.

Upstairs, you'll find even more captivating artwork, including pieces created by the owners themselves.

This level also features a well-appointed bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub, as well as a separate toilet and basin.

The bedrooms are bright and cosy, with a double room, twin and a sleek Scandinavian-style bunk bed to choose from.

There is a designated parking spot, so once the car is parked up you can visit Rydal Cave, it may entail some stepping-stones, climbing, and hiking, but the reward will be magical.

For a relaxing day, walk into the centre of the village to find excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs to dine in for an afternoon treat, or walk into beautiful Rothay Park and picnic by the river.

You will find The Golden Rule pub close by where you can enjoy a traditional Lakeland ale next to the open fire.

Pull on your boots and walk up nearby Todd Crag to be rewarded with panoramic views of Lake Windermere, or walk up to lovely Wansfell Pike and then onto the picturesque village of Troutbeck.

Challenge yourself to a hike around the acclaimed Fairfield Horseshoe, with plenty more choice of many wonderful trails whether it’s a low-level circular route or an adventurous hike up to the high fells.

Play tennis and bowls at the recreation ground next door, or head down to Waterhead and catch a cruise on gorgeous Lake Windermere taking in the stunning scenery from the waters.

If the weather isn’t ideal, then why not visit Lakes Aquarium with the option to take the scenic steam train there and enjoy seeing the adorable otters and the fascinating ant colony.

Silverhow Cottage, provides a homely retreat to explore The Lakes.

Home from home!

A lovely cottage with a warm feeling. Modern, fully equipped kitchen and great bathroom. Very comfy beds and a cute courtyard for the dogs. We had a wonderful stay and would very much recommend to anyone wanting a central base with nearby parking space. Great pubs/restaurants in walking distance and very nice owners. I hope to return at some point. Thank you!

Fantastic week at Silverhow!

Great location in Ambleside and loads of great walks from the house. Recommend walking to Skelwith Bridge and having lunch at Chesters by the river, amazing food! Everything you'd need at the cottage, and the table tennis in the basement was a bonus!
