Perched in the popular village of Ambleside, Cumbria, is this delightful mid-terrace cottage, Violet Cottage. Enjoying a superb setting within the Lake District National Park, just paces from the famous Lake Windermere, Violet Cottage is a fantastic choice for couples or a family of four. The property benefits from a lovely rear garden with furniture, perfect for alfresco dining. Inside, you will find an inviting living/dining room, with plush seating, crackling woodburning stove and a TV, ideal for relaxing evenings spent with loved ones, along with a well-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up your favourite dishes, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four. Upstairs, there is a contemporary bathroom where you can wash away the day with a soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower. When sleep calls, you can retire to one of two tastefully decorated bedrooms, both doubles, both of which are light and airy and offer front and rear views. Explore the town, where you can sample delicious meals at Fellinis, Copper Pot, and The Old Stamp House, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, visit the Armitt Library and Museum, make your way over to the stunning 70-ft Stock Ghyll Force, or visit the fascinating 2nd-century Roman Fort. Nearby, you can also visit Rydal, where you can hike through the breath-taking manmade Rydal Cave and visit Rydal Mount & Gardens, or continue on to Grasmere, where you can tour the former home of William Wordsworth. Next stop is Windermere, where you can take to the waters of Lake Windermere with a variety of watersports, soak up the views from Queen Adelaide’s Hill, test out your swing at the excellent Windermere Golf Club, and sample fresh seafood at Hooked.
