The Lodge

About this property

The Lodge is a charming one-bedroom cottage settled in the enviable location of Ambleside, nestled in the heart of the picturesque Lake District. This inviting retreat provides a comfortable base to explore Ambleside and its surrounding attractions, offering off-road parking, ground-floor living and close proximity to the local amenities and attractions, welcome a couple or even two friends sharing. Step inside and relax in the inviting sitting area, complete with plush sofas and a charming electric fire where you can curl up with a good book on cooler evenings as your other half prepares a delicious feast. Settle down at the dining table, pouring out a cold glass of fizz as you serve up your culinary delights, or if the weather permits, venture outside to your private patio where you can soak up your surroundings a little while longer. After a day of exploration, retire to the bathroom to complete your routine before finally winding down in the peaceful double bedroom for a restful night's sleep. When you’re ready to explore further, Ambleside itself offers a range of attractions, from traditional shops and cafes to art galleries and museums; don't miss the chance to stroll along the shores of Lake Windermere, the largest lake in England, or indulge in various watersporting opportunities on offer! For outdoor enthusiasts, Ambleside is a gateway to the breathtaking Lake District National Park, where you can lace up your boots and discover scenic hiking trails, cascading waterfalls, and serene lakes. Explore nearby villages like Grasmere and Hawkshead, each with their own unique charm. With the popular destinations of Bowness-on-Windermere, Rydal and Ullswater also well within reach, you’ll have plenty to see and do. Escape to the enchanting Lake District, with a stay at The Lodge.

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.
