Clover Cottage, a beautiful stone-built barn conversion, is tucked away in an idyllic position, resting in the heart of Ambleside, Cumbria. Clover Cottage is an ideal starting point for a trip for two across the Lake District National Park, owing to its close proximity to many local amenities and must-see sights and attractions. Descend the external stairs and enter through the hidden gateway of your new home-from-home, nestled behind the ancient buildings that line the town of Ambleside. You'll be greeted with an enclosed porchway upon arrival, which serves as a convenient place to store your muddy boots and outerwear following a day of adventure. Make yourself at home in the open-plan living space, where a rustic fireplace and exposed wooden beams maintain the properties original character, providing an idyllic setting for curling up to watch a classic movie with your better half. Cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen is sure to excite even the most novice of home chefs, while dinners for two at the intimate dining table will make any mealtime feel special. This wonderful home has a lawned garden at the rear, enveloped by vibrant shrubbery and trees and offering outdoor seating, so you can relax in the fresh air while still being in the centre of Ambleside. Settled on the first-floor, you'll find a well-presented bedroom, equipped with a sumptuous double bed, as well as an en-suite bathroom, benefiting from both a bath and walk-in shower cubicle, so you can choose best how to start your day. You'll find an abundance of options for an afternoon drink at one of the town's many pubs, bars, or bistros, and if you'd rather skip cooking for the day, Ambleside's many eateries offer hearty meals and delicious breakfasts, perfect for fueling your day of explorations. If you want to explore the picture-perfect hamlets, villages, lakes, and stunning landscape of the Lake District, Clover Cottages is the perfect starting point. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors with a two-footed adventure, where adventurers may take on the challenges of Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, while nature lovers can enjoy a stroll around Holehird Gardens' beautifully planted gardens. From Ambleside, a short stroll will bring you to the shores of Lake Windermere, where you can soak in some of the area's more enchanting views with a scenic stroll, or for something a little different, embark on a romantic steamer cruise from Waterhead Pier. Make memories that will last a lifetime with a retreat for two at Clover Cottage.
Ambleside, on the northern tip of Lake Windermere, is a great base for exploring The Lakes. Boat trips and watersports opportunities can be found on Lake Windermere, plus plenty of shops, restaurants, and pubs to suit all tastes. The parkland at Waterhead offers lovely views down the lake and a small beach, while a walk along Stock Ghyll through woodland leads to the enchanting Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Along with the Lake and great walking, Ambleside is known for its tiny 17th century “Bridge House”, now the National Trust Information Centre.

Availability of parking nearby with the business pass can vary. Shame it's only available through Sykes, who I won't be using again.

Once we located the cottage and parked up in the car path directly behind we didnât need to use the car again for our stay as there are plenty of circular walks from the town or ones where itâs easy to get a bus back from. The location finder mentions a pub- The Churchill- this has changed hands and is now the Temperance Inn. The cottage has plenty of facilities to make your stay comfortable, though there was a shortage of saucepans- one pan and 3x lids! So we adapted our recipes. Thereâs a great Deli and butcher in town so you can dine really well from the cottage. The garden was a Godsend being secure for our inquisitive cocker spaniel making the stay a very relaxing break.

Building works next door donât help. We felt the cottage needed some TLC. However the garden is a bonus and the position is good for all local amenities.
