Holiday lettings in Ambleside, Cumbria

This welcoming Lakeland retreat, just a five minute stroll from Lake Windermere, blends the best of contemporary living with timeless elegance. Each and every room has been tastefully furnished with an eye for supreme comfort as well as style. Luxurious wall-to-wall carpets in the sitting room and bedrooms, deep-cushioned leather sofas and stunning bathrooms.

Merewood Lodge, once a coach house and stables to the 1st Earl of Lonsdale, has been painstakingly converted into a luxury holiday home in an utterly glorious setting. One of a select group of cottages, this is the perfect base for exploring the Lake District. The entrance hall is a good size, ideal for storing walking boots and outdoor clothing.

Bedrooms are also on the ground floor, allowing the best views to be enjoyed from the shared living space on the first floor. All three bedrooms are equally fabulous with top notch bed linen and furnishings. One of the two king size rooms comes with an en-suite shower room, while the second king size and a twin share the house bathroom with both bath and shower facilities.

An enormous kitchen is superbly equipped, with a casual dining table perfect for early morning chats over coffee. The sitting/dining room is breath-taking. Light and airy, with access to a balcony that overlooks the beautifully maintained shared cottage garden. Once again, the décor is faultless and the luxury sofas just far too tempting. The property is just a few minutes from the National Park Visitor Centre at Brockhole, with the nearby village of Windermere being the perfect place to stock up on flowers, groceries, wine and local ales.

The quirky village of Ambleside is always a popular destination with its award winning restaurants, independent cinemas and interesting boutiques. With all this on the doorstep, Merewood Lodge is somewhere guests will want to return to time after time.
