“A classy, romantic cottage, Little Stone Howe is only a few minutes’ stroll from the centre of Ambleside village and the elegant shores of Lake Windermere. All on one level, you enter the contemporary open plan living space, with well-equipped kitchen/dining area, cosy lounge with huge vaulted windows, beams and electric fire for ease. The double bedroom is chic and comfortable with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath. Outside you are treated to a lovely outlook, enhanced by an elevated setting, where you can sip a drink on your patio. Walks begin in every direction, as Ambleside is a popular base for walking in the Lake District. The village is packed with tasty eateries and a wide range of contemporary shops – from useful supermarkets to quirky gift stores and expert outdoor clothing stores. By night, there’s plenty to do – cosy traditional pubs, special award-winning restaurants, a jazz club and 2 independent cinemas. A nice 20 minute stroll from the village centre is Waterhead Pier, on the northern shores of Lake Windermere where you can hire a rowing boat, enjoy a drink or a meal overlooking the lake at the Water’s Edge Inn, or take an elegant lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside – a great way to explore car-free. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly, and also offer evening cruises. Ambleside is full of history. The tiny ‘Bridge House’ is one of the most photographed buildings in the area; sat on a bridge in the middle of the village. There are also the remains of a Roman fort, Galava. One of William Wordsworth’s former family homes can be visited nearby at Rydal Mount & Gardens as can his Grasmere home, Dove Cottage. A spectacular drive over the Kirkstone Pass and you arrive in beautiful Ullswater. “
