About this property

BIRCHCROFT, pet friendly, character holiday cottage in Ambleside

Birchcroft in Ambleside, Cumbria, sleeps four guests in two bedrooms.

Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Parking permit for one vehicle in nearby car park. One well-behaved pet welcome. Sorry, no smoking. Shop and pub 0.1 mile

Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.

Town: Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Ambleside - Birchcroft
Great property to stay at. So central for everything in Ambleside. Property is well appointed. Great living room, good dining area and kitchen so well furnished, with washing machine and a dishwasher. Property was well stocked. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are a generous size, one with en-suite and the other had the main Bathroom right beside it. Good showers and lovely towels. Bedding was like hotel bedding. My only slight, and I mean slight constructive bit of criticism, is that the pillows in the en-suite bedroom could be doing with renewing. They are so lumpy and bumpy, but apart from that, excellent stay and we would use it again.
