About this property
SMITHY COTTAGE, romantic, with a garden in Ambleside
Smithy Cottage is a romantic bolthole for couples to explore the Lakes from.
Amenities: Gas central heating with electric underfloor heating. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, TV, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Parking permit and on-street parking nearby, patio with furniture to front of the property. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Pub 4 mins walk. Shop 6 mins walk. Note: No infants allowed at this property
Town: 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.
