Courtyard Cottage is a charming ground-floor retreat. It features two bedrooms: one king-size and one double. The bathroom includes a bath with a shower over, basin, and WC. The cottage offers a kitchen and a sitting/dining area with gas central heating and a coal-effect gas fire. Amenities include an electric oven, halogen hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and WiFi. Parking is convenient with one private space and a permit for a nearby car park. Relax in the courtyard patio with furniture and a parasol. One well-behaved dog is welcome, but no smoking or children are allowed. The shop and pub are just a few minutes away. Note: Access is via a flight of steps, which may not suit those with mobility issues. Make memories in the Lake District National Park at Courtyard Cottage.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
