About this property

Charming cosy cottage. Magnificent views 2 minutes walk to centre of Ambleside

A charming, warm and cosy cottage much loved by its owners. It is in an excellent location within 2 minutes walk of Ambleside and a 10 minute walk to Lake Windermere. The cottage is above the village so it offers stunning views from all rooms of the surrounding hills. Many walks start from the cottage without the need to use a car. Wifi - Unlimited BT internet throughout the cottage. The front door leads into a L shaped sitting room and dining area with a newly fitted kitchen off this. The sitting room has beams and oak flooring with a window seat giving wonderful views to the Langdales. There is a living flame electric stove, a smart TV and DVD player, a radio. On the first floor there is a shower room, a double bedroom and a single. A spiral staircase leads to a large twin room with an en-suite bathroom. There is a small walled sitting area with garden bench facing the right way for the sun. There is a shared courtyard garden behind the cottage where there is a utility room with washing machine/tumble dryer. Beautiful at Christmas/New Year.

Crag View sleeps five very comfortably in 3 bedrooms but the space downstairs is slightly limited so for five full size adults it can feel a little cramped, although we have let it for 5 adults particulary for short breaks. We tend to let to 4 adults or a family with 3 children
The cottage is available Saturday to Saturday except for 3/4 day breaks from November to March unless you contact the owners directly

The perfect cottage for a family
I can’t recommend this cottage enough. It was the perfect size for 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. The views from the windows are amazing and it’s just a short walk into Ambleside. The Wi-Fi is great, there’s a smart TV as well which came in handy for a relaxing afternoon after a long walk. The beds are also very comfy. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house
We really enjoyed our time in this lovely home. We have spent a full week here and the owner gave us all the info needed to have a pleasant stay in this property. We enjoyed the fact we could make hikes right from here. Also Ambleside shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. We loved the area and we hope to come back to the lake district in the future.

Family Break
Great location. Walking distance to everything in town and the lake. Spotlessly clean and comfortable, with all the necessary accesories and amenities. Brand new, wonderful, utility room.. I would definitely recommend this cottage for sightseeing, walking holidays or just chilling, as the views are to die for.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Davies

Host profile image
We have owned Crag View for over 20 years, we love it and look after it as if it is our second home. Our children grew up loving the Lakes, we took them on walks and when they were little and they kept saying when will we be there. I am ashamed to say we bribed them with sweets. Now, in their thirties they want to come all the time and go on even longer walks but they now bribe us to go on long walks. They love going up there for a complete change of pace from their busy lives. They, and we, have been all over the world but the view from the cottage is still one of the best we have ever seen.

Why they chose this property

We love the Lakes, the change of pace, the lovely relaxed feel of Ambleside, the numerous good place to eat and the fact we can walk down to a cinema to see the latest films in 5 minutes! We bought the cottage because we had one further up the hill but we always said if this came up for sale we would try to buy it. We bought it without going inside because of the view. We have completely renovated it inside and continue to do so.

What makes this property unique

It is just the best, it has a spiral staircase up to the top floor which a large twin room with its own bathroom. Adults love it, children adore being upstairs.
