Silverhow Cottage is a traditional Lakeland terraced cottage located a stone’s throw from the heart of picturesque Ambleside village. Entering through the front door, you will be welcomed by the warmth of the wooden interior with bespoke artwork to appreciate. The living/dining room has a Smart TV and a selection of books to keep you entertained and toasty with the electric fire display, as you share some stories about the day around the dining room table. The kitchen combines traditional and contemporary with the original stone floor and amenities like a dishwasher to ease your stay, you can open up the rustic stable doors to the quaint courtyard, and there is also access down to the cellar through the kitchen, (just mind your head on the way down) here you will find a table tennis table perfect for keeping children entertained. Upstairs, you’ll find even more captivating artwork, including pieces created by the owners themselves. This level also features a well-appointed bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub, as well as a separate toilet and basin. The bedrooms are bright and cosy, with a double room, twin and a sleek Scandinavian-style bunk bed to choose from. There is a designated parking spot, so once the car is parked up you can visit Rydal Cave, it may entail some stepping-stones, climbing, and hiking, but the reward will be magical. For a relaxing day, walk into the centre of the village to find excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs to dine in for an afternoon treat, or walk into beautiful Rothay Park and picnic by the river. You will find The Golden Rule pub close by where you can enjoy a traditional Lakeland ale next to the open fire.
