Lake District Holiday Cottage
This charming Lake District Holiday Cottage is situated in an idyllic location at Skelwith Bridge, Ambleside. The cottage is surrounded by its own gardens, woodland and nestling on the banks of a beautiful bustling river, the Brathay. With its own private river frontage this wonderful setting has all that the Lake District can offer at its best. Natural beauty, wildlife in abundance, fantastic walks from the door and country pubs within easy reach.
Craghill Cottage provides guests with luxurious, 4 star accommodation in a relaxing location within the Lake District National Park. The natural beauty can be enjoyed whilst relaxing within the oak framed conservatory and enjoying all of the facilities the cottage has to offer including the pretty gardens and seating areas.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms sleeping 4 people, is dog friendly and has ample private parking.
Craghill Cottage was built around 60 years ago using locally sourced walling stone and roofing slates. The appearance of the cottage and its location on the banks of the river Brathay provide that picture post card setting that traditional Lakeland properties have to offer. The cottage over more recent years has been extended by adding a kitchen and a conservatory.
There are also outbuildings which provide sizeable storage for bikes and canoes and are a good place to dry your outdoor clothing after a wet day on the fells. Ample parking is also available.
Within the cottage a rear entrance porch provides space for coats and boots and houses the utility area. This then leads into the well equipped kitchen which has a double aspect providing views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. A large opening from the kitchen leads into the open plan lounge / dining room which is spacious, comfortable, warmed by a woodburning stove and open to the spectacular conservatory. The relaxing conservatory also provides access to the furnished patio and superb garden, which leads down to the river. An inner hallway leads to the two king-sized bedrooms, one which can be arranged as a twin. Both are beautifully presented with fantastic views. A modern bathroom with shower over bath completes the single storey internal layout.
The cottage is surrounded by lawned gardens with established borders. Within the gardens there are a number of seating and dinning areas were guests can relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and watch the river flow by.
The cottage is situated in a prime Lake District holiday destination, perfect for outdoor activities. This romantic retreat or relaxing family setting is ideal for exploring the scenery around by adventuring out onto one of the many famous walks or cycle routes that start from the door. The local bar and restaurant is only a short stroll from the cottage.
Skelwith Bridge is a small hamlet situated on the outskirts of Ambleside and within the heart of the Langdale Valley it therefore offers all of the natural beauty associated with this area of the Lake District. Whilst away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist traps. The cottage is in easy reach of towns such as Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead and Coniston with the lakes, cruises, shops, bars and restaurants that they have to offer.
