Lovely cottage right in the middle of Ambleside. Very well equipped and comfortable. Loved having the outdoor seating at the front, which really catches the sun. We didn't need to use the attic bedroom but those stairs are not for the faint-hearted! Ground floor and 1st floor were perfect for me and hubby, along with my 84yo mother.
