Middlefell Farm Cottage

About this property

This traditional, stone-built Lakeland farmhouse lies quaintly under the Langdale Pikes at the head of the Langdale Valley in a rural part of the Lake District. Middlefell Farm Cottage was created from part of the original farmhouse to provide a well-equipped cottage interior for families looking to breakaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax amongst this peaceful location. As soon as you arrive, take a moment to appreciate the idyllic surroundings that makes up some of the finest mountain scenery in the Lakeland. The sitting room will welcome your return after a day of walking the fells, furnished with two sofas, a TV and an electric fire to take comfort beside. When you’re not dining out at fine restaurant, the kitchen is appointed with all the necessary appliances to serve up a tasty feast, which can be enjoyed at the dining table. At the end of each action-packed day, seek comfort in either of two bedrooms, comprised of a double and a twin, each offering soft furnishings in a neutral décor and served by the family bathroom with a walk-in shower. Head out to the garden furniture and enjoy your morning coffee whilst you plan for the day ahead before taking a gentle stroll along one of the nearby footpaths for the perfect start to the day. On your journey you may stumble across the pub 'The Old Dungeon Ghyll', which serves both bar and restaurant meals and is ideal if you fancy a night off cooking. Being surrounded by such inspiring scenery, it is hard to image why you would need to travel anywhere else, but if you do, Ambleside is five miles away and is where you can find your nearest supermarket, along with a choice of gift shops, small retailers, two cinemas and plenty of pubs and restaurants to enjoy. Bowness-on-Windermere awaits further afield, home to the popular World of Beatrix Potter and the starting point for the iconic steamers, which take you across the water to Lakeside, home to a number of family attractions. Guaranteed a pleasant stay wherever you decide, Middlefell Farm Cottage has everything needed for a memorable Lake District break.

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.
