Ecclerigg Old Farm is a charming 18th-century farmhouse resting near Ambleside, in the Lake District National Park.
Perfect for families and friends, this offers spacious interiors open fire, allows pets and has easy access to Lake Windermere and the fells. Tucked away from the road and nestled among a small cluster of former farm buildings, Ecclerigg Old Farm reveals itself slowly as you approach—its late 18th-century stonework softened by time and framed by the gentle rise of Lakeland hills. The setting, midway between Ambleside and Troutbeck Bridge, is both peaceful and practical, offering a perfect base for exploring the heart of the Lake District. Step through the rear door into a generous entrance hall, where there’s ample space to shed walking boots and hang damp coats after a day on the fells. A downstairs cloakroom is conveniently placed nearby. From here, the home opens out into a series of welcoming spaces, each with its own character. The sitting room is a warm embrace of exposed beams and a striking stone feature wall. An open fire crackles in the hearth, inviting you to sink into a soft armchair with a book or gather for a film night. A dining table here offers a relaxed setting for evening meals by the fire, while a door leads out to the garden, where morning coffee or evening drinks can be enjoyed in the fresh Lakeland air. Across the hall, the dining room offers more than just a place to eat. Ideal for larger, more formal meals, it also features additional comfortable seating and a second television, making it a quiet retreat for reading, conversation, or simply watching the light shift across the garden. The kitchen is a joy to cook in—bright, well-equipped, and thoughtfully laid out. Whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before a hike or a leisurely supper with local produce, the space invites you to linger. A dining table here is ideal for relaxed breakfasts or casual meals, and a separate utility room keeps the practicalities neatly tucked away. Upstairs, four bedrooms await. The master double, with its own en-suite bathroom, offers a restful sanctuary where you can take a long soak and let the day’s adventures melt away. A spacious family room with three single beds is perfect for children or friends sharing. A twin room provides further flexibility, while a single bedroom offers a quiet corner for one. A further bathroom with a shower ensures there’s no waiting in line when everyone’s getting ready for the day ahead. Every window frames a different view—some look out over neighbouring gardens and open fields, others towards the old farmyard, each one a reminder of the home’s heritage and setting. The interiors are comfortably furnished and full of character. Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a tranquil spot with a lawn and mature shrubs. A garden table and chairs invite al fresco dining or simply sitting with a cup of tea, listening to birdsong. There’s parking for two cars, one of which can be tucked into the garage. Just a short stroll away lies the National Park Visitor Centre at Brockhole, where you can wander down to the shores of Lake Windermere or embark on a scenic lake cruise. The grounds are open year-round, with footpaths, a seasonal teashop, and a lively programme of exhibitions and events. For dining out, several nearby hotels offer excellent cuisine without the need to drive. And with regular buses stopping at the end of the drive, Ambleside and Windermere—with their independent shops, cafés, and galleries—are easily reached, making Ecclerigg Old Farm not just a place to stay, but a gateway to the very best of Lakeland life. Discover the Lake District from Ecclerigg Old Farm—your perfect base for adventure, relaxation, and timeless scenery. Let the journey begin.
