About this property

THE MOUNTING STEPS, with a garden in Ambleside

Romantic period cottage set in a cobbled courtyard just a stone's throw from Ambleside. Riverside garden close by. Sleeps 2.

Amenities: Gas central heating. Electric wood burning stove. Electric oven and hob and microwave. 40 inch Smart TV in the lounge, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Smart 40 inch TV in the bedroom. Private parking for 1 car. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Pub and shops nearby. Babies accepted but guests need to bring own travel cot and high chair.

Town: 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.
