The Little Cottage

Ambleside, Cumbria

4

The Little Cottage is a beautifully restored accommodation located in the picturesque village of Elterwater, Cumbria, making it an ideal retreat for families or couples eager to explore the stunning landscapes of the Lake District. With a capacity to sleep four guests across two elegantly designed bedrooms, the cottage combines contemporary style with original charm, thanks to the meticulous restoration by interior designer Katharine Pooley. The open-plan living and dining area features a cosy woodburning stove, while the fully-equipped kitchen boasts a range cooker and all necessary amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay.

The sleeping arrangements include a luxurious king-size master suite with an en-suite bathroom, and a versatile guest room that can be configured as either a king-size double or two single beds upon request. An adjacent shower room serves the second bedroom, adding to the convenience for guests. Outside, the cottage offers a serene garden where visitors can unwind in the hot tub after a day of exploration, or enjoy al fresco dining during the warmer months, making it a perfect spot for relaxation.

Conveniently situated, The Little Cottage is just a short 200-meter walk from the Britannia Inn, the nearest restaurant, while essential shopping needs can be met at a village shop located just a two-minute drive away in Chapel Stile. For a broader selection of amenities, Ambleside is less than a 15-minute drive away, offering a Tesco Express and various dining options. The cottage's prime location within the Lake District National Park allows guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area, with over 3100km of rights of way for walking, cycling, and exploring.

Guests can easily access popular destinations such as Bowness-on-Windermere, a mere 25-minute drive away, and Grasmere, famed for its gingerbread, just 20 minutes away. The region is rich with attractions suitable for all ages, including the Lakes Aquarium, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and the enchanting World of Beatrix Potter. Each of these attractions is reachable within a 40-minute drive, making The Little Cottage an excellent base for experiencing the diverse offerings of the Lake District.
