Number 5
Number 5 is a gorgeous Ambleside holiday cottage less than a 10-minute walk from the vibrant Ambleside Town Centre.
With off-street parking, four stunning bedrooms, spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and outdoor garden space, this detached bungalow is ideal for families or a walking/cycling holiday with friends.
The four bedrooms have been beautifully decorated, and the large windows allow plenty of natural light. One of the double bedrooms benefits from en suite shower facilities, while the remaining three bedrooms have the house bathroom and a separate WC.
The living area is where it all happens - "The Number 5 Social Hub" - where discussions are had about the day's activities, and delicious meals are prepared. On warmer days, why not open the bifold patio doors to enjoy the outdoor space and on colder days, light the fabulous wood-burning stove?
Naturally, not everyone wants to cook while on holiday. Conveniently, the house is just a short stroll to the town centre, where you'll find a fantastic choice of restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Old Stamp House. For the more casual foodies, there's also a selection of pubs offering good pub grub, cafes and restaurants.
Number 5 has been listed with Herdwick Cottages since December 2023

About the location
Rydal (1.5 miles) and Grasmere (5 miles) are both within walking distance along a gravel route passing the Rydal Cave. Alternatively, hop onboard the Lakes Explorer bus that connects to Rydal, Grasmere, Thirlmere (for Helvellyn) and Keswick. All single-journey fares are capped at £2.00 until December 2024.
Ullswater is 14 miles away, via the scenic Kirkstone Pass, where you can hop onboard the Ullswater Steamers or perhaps tackle one of the surrounding fells such as Place Fell!
Keswick (17 miles) is a little further away but still worth a visit. Here you have Derwent Water which also offers boat cruises. Again you can hop on the bus for £2.00 per person - cheaper than trying to park in Keswick!
Windermere (4.5 miles) is where you'll find more shops, restaurants, cafes and bars and a little further down the road is Bowness-on-Windermere. We recommend catching the boat from Ambleside's Waterhead Pier to Bowness or staying onboard and continuing to Lakeside at the southern tip of Lake Windermere for the Lakes Aquarium and Haverthwaite Steam Train.
As you can see, there is plenty to do for all ages, so make Number 5 in Ambleside your next holiday cottage booking!
