Overview

This beautifully appointed Gold Award winning property sits in a gently elevated position in the historic conservation area of Ambleside and provides spectacular views to the magnificent Lake District mountains from almost every room. Every creature comfort is provided with lots of thoughtful touches above and beyond the expected.

Superbly situated in a peaceful corner yet only a minute's stroll from Ambleside village centre, Brantside Cottage boasts a perfect combination of traditional charms and contemporary indulgence. It's a perfect comfortable living space for 2 couples, or a family, to spread out and relax at any time of year, soaking up the wonderful views.

Relax together, dine together, sit out on the patio to soak up the views or make the most of only a stroll to the many delights of Ambleside village and the shores of Lake Windermere.

Accommodation in detail

A short pathway incline leads to this small terrace of attractive cottages and your first glimpse of the superb views. An entrance hall leads to the open plan living area, with large bay window, multi-fuel stove set in a traditional Lakeland slate fireplace, window seats and sumptuous relaxing furnishings complemented by state of the art facilities including Wi-Fi. An opening leads into the very well equipped kitchen with all manner of extra gadgets for foodies to experiment with - make your own ice cream, smoothies, juices and more. If you're a Bakeoff fan or if afternoon tea is your thing, Brantside's iconic food mixer will help you whip up cakes, puddings and biscuits like a true professional. Upstairs to the first floor where the views get even better, if that was at all possible!

The beautiful double bedroom admires the views with a dual aspect and even has another window seat. The twin bedroom also gazes at that view and the high quality modern bathroom has a relaxing deep bath with power shower facility - bliss. Outside is a landscaped terraced patio area, a place to enjoy al-fresco living, and yes this is another place to admire that view. A parking permit provides parking only a few 100 yards from the cottage or there is nearby on street parking. Walks in abundance start right from your door including the spectacular Stock Ghyll Force waterfall walk, Wansfell Pike and Loughrigg.

Please note that this property is not suitable for children under 5.

Location

Ambleside is a historic village, well-served with contemporary shops and sophisticated evening entertainments. It nestles off the northern shores of Lake Windermere, against a superb backdrop of Lake District fells - it's no wonder that Ambleside is a popular base for walking in the Lake District. Ambleside's shopping streets are full of character, scattered with traditional Lakeland cottages and attractive historic buildings. But you'll find everything you could need during a self-catering holiday; from tempting delicatessens and handy supermarkets for stocking up the kitchen, to outdoor clothing stores and fashionable boutiques.

By night, why not sample some Lakeland ale in one of the many cosy pubs in Ambleside. Or, treat yourselves to a special meal at The Fulling Mill - just one of several excellent restaurants in Ambleside's village centre. There are also two quirky cinemas to choose from; Zeffirellis for mainstream movies and pizza lovers, or Fellinis Vegetarian Restaurant and Studio Cinema. Ambleside's location on the A591 makes it a great base for touring the wider Lake District. You're within easy reach of must-see locations such as the Troutbeck Valley, historic Grasmere and the breath-taking Langdale Valley. You can also explore without a car; stroll to Waterhead Pier and take a Windermere Lake Cruise to Bowness or Lakeside.

    Brantside was a very comfortable, well-equipped and convenient base for exploring the Southern Lakes area with its outstanding scenery. As keen walkers, we appreciated being able to leave the car in a car park only a short walk away and not worry about it, thanks to the parking permit. Mr Griffiths

    The fabulous weather in March - lots of sunshine = fabulous views = lots and lots of lovely walks. Brantside is a lovely, thoughtfully furnished, holiday home - very well equipped for cooking/baking - and only the tiniest of downhill walks (about 50 steps) into the centre of Ambleside. Bliss.

    The cottage was immaculate and extremely well equipped, the owners had thought of every detail. Ambleside was a very good base for all the wonderful walks on offer. A very comfortable stay- beautifully clean on arrival with great attention to detail. Enjoyed the view from the house with a cup of tea after a long day’s walk. Mr and Mrs Welchman
