Seeking a cosy couple’s retreat with nature on your doorstep? This contemporary cottage in Ambleside more than fits the bill. From the open-plan living area, you can admire the countryside views while snuggling up in front of the wood burner. Step outside, and there’s a hot tub waiting to help you unwind – just the spot for stargazing after a busy day. If you can tear yourself away, a trip to Lake Windermere is a must, where you can while away the hours hiking the shores or on a boat cruise across the water. Pets are also welcome to tag along for a small fee, and you'll find plenty of dog walks on your doorstep.
Home truths: *The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area are on the first floor of this home to make the most of the views, with the bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the ground floor.
*While babies and infants are welcome, there's no stair gate here or fireguard for the log burner. Little ones will need to be supervised at all times.
*We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking for one car here.
*Since the photoshoot, your host has updated the interiors – the decor may differ slightly from what's pictured.
