About this property
Fell Cottage has been fully refurbished by the owners who have paid great attention to detail to create an excellent property that has been finished to the highest standard.
The cottage is presented with its lounge and kitchen/diner on the ground floor, accompanied by a useful utility room and shower room. On the first floor is the first of the three bedrooms, a king size, and luxurious family bathroom with feature rolltop bath and walk in shower. On the second floor there is a choice of another king size bedroom or a twin bedded room and both benefit from the views over the rooftops to the hills beyond.
This great quality cottage is ideal for family or friends to relax and enjoy a great holiday whatever the time of year.
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.
