The rest of the cottage offers a fitted kitchen and a sitting room with a gas fire and sliding doors leading to a patio with wonderful views towards the town of Loughrigg and Loughrigg Fell, while outside, steps lead up to the parking area where you will find off road parking for one car. Situated just outside the delightful village of Ambleside, Walker's Retreat is the perfect base for a holiday exploring the Lake District.

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. 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. Apart from 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.

Walker's Retreat
Beautiful views and great location. Furniture a little "tired " looking but comfortable. Nowhere in the 2 singles bedroom to put clothes. Nowhere in the kitchen to put groceries, although it did have a lovely big fridge freezer. Would definitely stay here again.

Ideal Central Location
Not the best weather to arrive in, but Walker's Retreat was warm, cosy and welcoming. Well equipped kitchen ( though a corkscrew would have been handy!)and comfortable beds . Although we could not use the patio area it was evident it would be a pleasant place to sit at other times of the year. Despite having such a central location a beautiful view and setting above the main street level were a major plus.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018
