Cosy, Warm and Welcoming!
Ambleside is a beautifully presented home amongst lovely gardens. The house was fully equipped with essential items to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The fireplace was warming and we loved looking for and gathering firewood. The house was clean and tucked away amongst tall trees to provide privacy. The large decking provided comfortable and relaxing spots to watch the wildlife. We look forward to returning!
