End Cottage

About this property

Not far from the centre of Ambleside, this adorable cottage is the ultimate romantic hideaway for couples looking to make the most of their time in the Lake District. A traditional, stone-built cottage on the outside, super stylish and chic on the inside. End Cottage is, quite simply, fabulous.

Just down the road from the ‘Little Bridge House’, the cottage comes with a parking permit for the nearby car park. Enter into the well-equipped kitchen, complete with Nespresso coffee machine and wine cooler and from where there is access to a small patio area, a real sun trap on a summer’s day. Through to the cosiest of sitting rooms with its comfortable furnishings, modern décor and wood-burning stove. No better place to snuggle down with your favourite person, kick off your shoes and enjoy your favourite film. The staircase separates the sitting room from a charming dining area. Up the stairs to the pretty bedroom, offering plenty of storage space, a separate dressing room and modern shower room with exhilarating power shower.

There is an outhouse which houses the washer/dryer and is also useful for storing bikes

Situated at the northernmost point of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a sophisticated village brimming with hidden treasures. Interesting shops, lovely boutiques and fabulous restaurants and tea rooms lie around every corner. Two fabulous cinemas, a famous pizzeria and jazz bar playing live music provide entertainment late into the evening. Walkers and climbers come from miles around to visit the specialist outdoor shops, and the cosy Lakeland pubs serve the best of local ales.

Waterhead Pier is only a short walk away, with cruises departing regularly to ferry passengers across the lake to Bowness and Lakeside. There is a huge choice of walks leaving from the doorstep, and the villages of Grasmere and Windermere are only a short drive away.

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.
