The property
Rothay cottage is a cosy traditional stone terraced cottage situated in the quiet hidden gem of the Millans Park area of Ambleside, just a short distance form the vibrant cafes, shops, restaurants, pubs and cinemas available in this popular lake District National Park village. This charming Ambleside cottage is ideally located for families or friends wishing to discover the majestic Lake District countryside. Set over three floors, this rural cottage has 1king size bedroom (first floor) and a second-floor twin bedroom and sitting room that maximises the breath-taking views of Wansfell, with glimpses of Kirkstone Pass. Relax just taking in the stunning views, or enjoy the smart TV or selection of maps, books, games and jigsaws in the cosy room. The ground floor boasts a good sized hallway for coats and those muddy boots. There is a well stocked excellent kitchen and a bright, airy dining area with patio doors leading out to a small enclosed patio area—a wonderful space to sit with a cup of coffee as you plan the day's activities. As the evenings draw to a close, a king-size bedroom awaits you to catch your night's rest, while the bathroom provides plenty of space to indulge with a leisurely soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse in the shower, both on the first floor. A few minutes walk from this Ambleside cottage will take you to the beautiful Rothay Park set in tranquil surroundings, with the River Rothay tumbling alongside, a perfect place for a dog walk. Walk along the river, cross the stepping stones, and you will come to Rydal and Grasmere beyond. Walks directly from the cottage include Loughrigg and Wansfell Pike. Ambleside is located at the top of Lake Windermere, and steamboats depart regularly to take you to Bowness and Lakeside. With the pretty Lakeland villages of Hawkshead and Elterwater within a half-hour drive, Rothay Cottage is the perfect base for your Lake District holiday at any time of the year
