About this property
THE OLD CARRIAGE HOUSE, pet friendly, with open fire in Ambleside
The Old Carriage House in Ambleside, Cumbria sleeps four guests in two bedrooms.
Stable Cottage consists of a kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, fridge with freezer box, washer/dryer and dishwasher, and a living/dining room with Smart TV and gas fire. The bedrooms consist of one double and one twin, serviced by a bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC, and a shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. Outside, there is a private seating area with bistro furniture and a shared riverside garden with barbecue and river access. Off-road parking for 1 car. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop 0.3 miles, pub 0.7 miles. WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the price. Stable Cottage is a welcoming base for exploring the Lake District. Note: The river can flow swiftly depending on the weather; children must be supervised at all times.
Amenities: Electric oven, gas hob, fridge, microwave, washer/dryer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster. Smart TV, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Highchair and cot available on request. Parking for 1 car. Private patio with furniture. Shared riverside garden with furniture and barbecue.One well-behaved pet allowed. Sorry, no smoking. Shop and pub 1 mile, river 0.1 miles, lake 0.5 miles. Note: The river can flow swiftly depending on the weather; children must be supervised at all times
Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
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.
