Property code: OC-LR028

A peaceful country lane just outside Ambleside sets the tone for this welcoming end-terrace retreat, where four guests travelling with their furry sidekick can enjoy the spectacular Lake District National Park. The town centre sits around half a mile away, giving you an easy balance of quiet surroundings with cafes, pubs and independent shops close at hand, plus a cinema for slower days.

Inside, calm, neutral decor runs throughout the two-storey home, creating a soothing base after long days on the fells. A practical porch gives you somewhere to shed muddy boots and damp leads before heading in. The kitchen/diner forms the hub of the home, with everything needed to cook up hearty meals and gather around the table to map out the next walk. Settle in the lounge where comfortable seating and a Smart TV with Sky Signature set the scene for relaxed evenings. Upstairs are two bedrooms: a king-size with a TV and far-reaching fell views, and a snug double dressed in crisp linens. They're served by a bright family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. To the rear, a paved, sheltered courtyard with outdoor seating offers a pleasant spot for a morning brew or an evening drink while your four-legged friends potter nearby. A private office space sits on this level too, and there's parking for one car.

Tails won’t stay still for long with Lake Windermere 0.5 miles away, opening up waterside paths, paddle routes and wide stretches where four-pawed explorers can stretch their legs. Walks fan out in every direction: follow the trail to Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), climb towards Wansfell Pike (1.5 miles), or head out towards Grasmere (4 miles), passing Rydal Cave (2.5 miles) along the way. Windermere (4.5 miles) and Bowness (5.5 miles) are also within easy reach for ferry trips, dog-friendly cafes and shoreline wandering.

The place is amazing and definitely one of my top stays at the lakes. Walking distance to a lot of great restaurants, remote and very peaceful. Inside is modern and spacious, extremely cozy and perfect to crash on the couch after a long day of exploring.
