Property details

Herdwick Cottage – Beautifully Renovated Cottage in the Heart of Ambleside

Nestled in the heart of Ambleside, Herdwick Cottage is a beautifully renovated property set over three floors, offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms. With high ceilings, character features, and views across the rooftops to the surrounding fells, it’s the perfect blend of comfort and style in a prime Lake District location.

Inside:

Step into the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, the heart of the cottage. Here you’ll find a well-equipped modern kitchen, a dining table for six, and a cosy lounge complete with log burner, perfect for relaxed evenings after a day on the fells. Patio doors lead out to a smart courtyard garden with outdoor seating.

The cottage sleeps six across three bedrooms: a twin and a king on the first floor, plus a spacious master suite occupying the entire second floor. The master has its own sofa and dressing area, along with a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding double-ended bath, separate shower and views of Wansfell. There are two further bathrooms – a family shower room and an en-suite to the first-floor king, mean there’s plenty of space for everyone.

Outside:

At the back of the cottage, the private courtyard is just the spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Small but perfectly formed, it’s a calm space to unwind after a day in the hills.

Location:

Ambleside is one of the Lake District’s most vibrant villages, and Herdwick Cottage puts you right in the centre of it all. Wander to cosy cafes, pubs, shops, and Zeffirellis independent cinema, or stroll a little further to Rothay Park or Lake Windermere. From here, you’ve got some of the best walking on your doorstep too, from family-friendly routes up Loughrigg to the views of Wansfell Pike.

With its central location, modern comforts, and three stylish bedrooms, Herdwick Cottage is a brilliant base for family or friends looking to enjoy both the buzz of Ambleside and the beauty of the fells.
