About this property

Rothay Holme Cottage is a classy bolt hole is situated on the outskirts of Ambleside; close a park, and the River Rothay, but still only a minute's stroll from the centre of the village. The shores of Lake Windermere are just a little further. Laidback sophistication is the theme of the Rothay Holme Cottage interior; snuggle up together in front of the wood burning stove, gaze out onto the fells through cute cottage windows and enjoy the impeccable interior design with a finish fit for any glossy magazine.

There's plenty of space for family meals or dinner parties, alternatively you are only a minute's stroll from the bustling nightlife that Ambleside has to offer. Each bedroom has a lavish bathroom facility, so even two couples can pamper themselves in their own space. Plus, the contemporary, open plan living space makes for a great place to wind down and relax.

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.
