About this cottage rental
A charming, warm and cosy cottage much loved by its owners. It is in an excellent location within 2 minutes walk of Ambleside and a 10 minute walk to Lake Windermere. The cottage is above the village so it offers stunning views from all rooms of the surrounding hills. Many walks start from the cottage without the need to use a car. Wifi - Unlimited BT internet throughout the cottage. The front door leads into a L shaped sitting room and dining area with a newly fitted kitchen off this. The sitting room has beams and oak flooring with a window seat giving wonderful views to the Langdales. There is a living flame electric stove, a smart TV and DVD player, a radio. On the first floor there is a shower room, a double bedroom and a single. A spiral staircase leads to a large twin room with an en-suite bathroom. There is a small walled sitting area with garden bench facing the right way for the sun. There is a shared courtyard garden behind the cottage where there is a utility room with washing machine/tumble dryer. Beautiful at Christmas/New Year.
Crag View sleeps five very comfortably in 3 bedrooms but the space downstairs is slightly limited so for five full size adults it can feel a little cramped, although we have let it for 5 adults particulary for short breaks. We tend to let to 4 adults or a family with 3 children
The cottage is available Saturday to Saturday except for 3/4 day breaks from November to March unless you contact the owners directly

Cragview is perfect for a cozy cottage experience with gorgeous views. In the mornings you’ll wake up to a view of the hills and breathe in crisp cool air. In the afternoon after a day of touring you can sit on the front porch and later enjoy evenings by the fireplace. The cottage is a quick walk to the bus stop with convenient friendly bus service and a few steps further to shops, grocery store and restaurants. The local Armitt museum has a great display about the local Roman fort. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely cosy cottage, plenty of room for 2 adults and a dog. Was well placed just outside the town centre to be close enough to amenities but far enough to be quiet. The views from all rooms are stunning, and you can see Windermere from the top rooms. You really can leave your car there and go off and enjoy the walks, or use the buses to get around the Lakes easily. Highly recommend the Stock Ghyll Force cafe brownies after doing the walk from the cottage to the Falls. Found the sofa and chairs to be a little uncomfortable, and the known issues with the shower pressure was noticeable more if you had a shower in the morning than in the evening, and that's the reason for 4, rather than 5 stars, but having spoken to the owner, I know there are plans for a pump to be put in, which will solve that going forward. And that's me being really picky if honest. If you're looking for somewhere quiet to rest after a full day exploring the hills and lakes, you won't go far wrong by staying here.

The cottage was absolutely perfect, very near town, you can do a number of walks from the front door, or just stay in and look at the stunning views from the cottage. There are so many great local restaurants we didn’t have a chance to try them all. Would definitely recommend

Lovely little cottage in a brilliant location, views from the cottage were stunning. Spent lots of time sat on the front terrace watching the sun go down. Good location for rambling about and short little walk to the village for shopping and eating out.
Plenty of space for 2 adults, a teenager and 2 little dogs. The attic en-suite bedroom was spacious.
Good internet connection (a must for the teenager!)
Will be returning at some point next year.
