About this property
This traditional Lakeland slate, semi-detached cottage is located in the hamlet of Ecclerigg, rurally set close to both Windermere and Ambleside. This lovely cottage, in a peaceful, idyllic spot is very convenient for exploring the Lake District National Park. This delightful cottage offers breathtaking views and glimpses across Lake Windermere to the fells beyond and to Orrest Head and Wansfell Pike across the countryside to the side of the property. This holiday home offers extremely spacious accommodation for two guests and has a cosy sitting room with period features, along with modern amenities such as WiFi and a Smart TV with Sky Q and Netflix. On the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen which has quality fixtures and fittings and a breakfast bar. You also have the choice of a ground floor Jacuzzi bath to soak and relax in after a day's walking or the en-suite wet room to the double bedroom on the first floor. Outside your holiday home is a lovely garden where you can relax and have an alfresco meal or enjoy a glass of wine whilst observing the wildlife and birds. Walking from the door is a must for wonderful walks found behind the property in the Troutbeck Valley and Wansfell to take in glorious views of Lake Windermere and distant fells.

Visitcumbria.com/amb/brockhole/?utm_content=cmp-true and both Ambleside and Windermere/ Bowness within walking distance. Great bus route with a bus stop also on the doorstep. Accommodation was excellent and whatâs not to like about a jacuzzi after a long day walking! Would have been clean sweep on scores but found the bed a little too soft for my dodgy back. Would certainly choose 2 Merewood Cottage for our next trip to the Lakes.

Cottage is in a good position, well back from the main road and close to Windermere and Ambleside. The kitchen has all you need for the week, lounge is very comfortable and we loved the bird feeder by the window for the frequent blue tit visitors. Bedroom and bed was comfortable. The only slight niggle was the upstairs ensuite/wet room wasn't really usable for showering as so small and the owner recommended using the shower in the downstairs bathroom but this room was cold and only a window for ventilation so smelt a little damp. However, we really enjoyed staying at the cottage. Thank you to the owner for the small gifts that she left for us.

Newly decorated and extra garden seating provided. Plenty of storage throughout and loved the jacuzzi! A traditional two seater sofa would be more cosy for a couple.
