A feature is the mod-ern, open plan sitting and dining area with a divided fitted kitchen, all on the top floor with fabu-lous panoramic views. The Cottage is surrounded by glorious countryside with walking routes to suit everyone, from a vil-lage stroll or level river walk to a challenging hike up a mountain.

You even have a shower suitable for showering dogs! With so much on offer, its no surprise that Falls View Cottage provides a fantastic base for any self-catering holiday.

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.
