Set at the foot of the dramatic Kirkstone Pass, just a stone’s throw away from the centre of Ambleside, is this charming and distinctive holiday home. Spread over three floors, Heron Cottage offers a great spot from which to explore the incredible scenery of the Lake District National Park, whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family or a group of four who seek an unforgettable adventure in the great outdoors. Unload your belongings outside the front door before heading into the bright and welcoming open-plan living space, home to an inviting sitting area with a striking gas fire, a large and sociable dining table and a fully-fitted kitchen boasting a wide range of appliances such as an electric oven and gas hob, as well as a handy washer/dryer. Walk past your attractive dining and kitchen area to climb the staircase, which is full of natural light, arriving at a spacious and grand king-size bedroom featuring a beautiful bay window, sleek TV and a gorgeous en-suite shower. An additional staircase will lead you up to an elegant twin bedroom with spectacular views towards the towering Fairfield, as well as a sophisticated en-suite bathroom where you can delight in a long afternoon soak in the roomy tub. When you can just about tear yourself away from this homely abode, be sure to take a relaxing stroll to the centre of Ambleside for a quick browse in the quirky independent stores, or grab a bite to eat at one of the many friendly cafés that line the cobbled streets. Continue on to Waterhead and embark on a scenic cruise along Windermere, or why not hire your very own peddle boat for the day and explore the breath-taking and secluded bays that rest along the shores? If you feel more adventurous, set out on one of the many spectacular walks available from your doorstep; walk through lovely Rothay Park, go over the charming stone bridge, then push up to Todd Crag where you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the length of Lake Windermere and the breath-taking countryside beyond. See the cascading waters of Stock Ghyll Force and the historic remains of Ambleside Roman Fort, or visit attractions such as Rydal Mount and Gardens and the National Trust Wray Castle. Set off for the day to discover the area’s charming villages and hamlets, sparkling lakes and dramatic valleys, before returning to the warm embrace of your home-away-from-home for a relaxing evening indoors. Live incredible moments with your loved ones on an escape to the Lake District at Heron Cottage.
