About this property

Located in the centre of Ambleside, the cottage is in an enviable location.

A blend of traditional cottage charm and sophisticated comfort, Courtyard Cottage will suit both families and couples.

Head up a short flight of Lakeland stone steps to the entrance hall. Follow the fine oak floor into an open plan living / dining room with sumptuous leather sofas, coal effect gas fire and dining table. A well-equipped cottage kitchen is a great base for preparing delicious family meals. The property contains two bedrooms, a king size bedroom and a double bedroom both with oak furnishings. A delightful family bathroom completes the cosy property.

Enjoy dining al-fresco in a secluded and private courtyard.

Courtyard Cottage offers private parking, which is accessed by reversing up a sloped driveway.

Nestled in Ambleside’s bustling centre, step out of the cottage and you can browse the finest outdoor shops, enjoy brunch in a modern cafe and socialise over a few drinks in a traditional Lakeland pub.

From Ambleside head on foot straight into the beautiful Lakeland fells, take a scenic drive over the dramatic Kirkstone Pass or step aboard a Windermere Lake Cruiser for a trip across England's largest lake.

Courtyard Cottage provides a charming base for a relaxing break in the heart of the Lake District.

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.
