Positioned within walking distance to the facilities of Ambleside is this charming, stone-built property, Penny Red Cottage. Taking its name from the little red letter box set in the end wall of the building, this Victorian cottage has been refurbished into a contemporary style that is suited for families or two couples wanting to break away to the heart of the Lake District. You enter this inviting dwelling straight into the open-plan living area where all can take a seat beside the warming fire and discuss the plans for holiday. Resting just beyond is the well-appointed kitchen with white cabinets and a tiled backsplash along with crockery and utensils needed for rustling up some tasty meals. Climb the stairs to reach the first double bedroom, complete with deep set windows and a character fireplace, while the second double and a single can be found on the top floor, this floor offering lovely views to Wansfell. After a tiring day of touring the Lakes, head to the contemporary bathroom and enjoy a relaxing moment in the bath or choose to freshen up with a shower. Ambleside is a small but busy Lake District town and offers an interesting marketplace with a number of independent shops, boutiques, cafés and two supermarkets for grabbing any essentials. If you fancy eating out, there are plenty of superb pubs and restaurants to enjoy, including a Michelin starred restaurant named the Old Stamp House. A short walk from this Ambleside cottage brings you to Bridge House – one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and a favourite subject for many artists, and Lake Windermere is on the doorstep. Further afield you may fancy a day trip to Bowness-on-Windermere, Newby Bridge or Coniston, each offering their own culture and atmosphere. Perhaps the challenge of Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, will be more to your taste? Consider Penny Red Cottage as your quaint holiday home for your next break to the Lake District.
