Totally “5-star plus” location, with Cottage nestled into hillside on outskirts of Ambleside, so an easy peesy stroll into town and a beautiful walk past Rydal Water into gorgeous Grasmere. Brilliant to forget about the car keys ! Also stunning, rural views and great fun to dance across the Stepping Stones !
