This classic yet contemporary home is just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Ambleside and perfectly placed to capture a picturesque glimpse of the steeple of St Mary's Church rising above the trees. So sip your morning coffee on the balcony and take a minute to enjoy the charming view. Once you arrive and park the car, we love that there's little reason to move it again as you can find everything you need on your doorstep. However, if you do decide to explore further afield, the home is only a ten-minute drive from the head of Windermere, meaning that exploring the Lake District is as easy as hopping in the car with a picnic. And when you return from the day's adventures, stroll down to one of the country pubs for dinner and a restorative pint of ale, or simply flop down in that spacious living room. Home truths: * Though the town is within easy walking distance, a car is necessary to explore Cumbria – there's ample on-site parking * The hosts can provide baby equipment on request * The home does not allow pets * Convenient self check-in via lockbox * Well-lit path to the entrance though the home is spread over two levels so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
