For cooks there’s a fully equipped kitchen complete with gas oven, cooker hood, dishwasher and fridge for preparing hearty post-walk dinners. And there’s plenty of cupboard space, somewhere to store and dry wet-weather gear and a small breakfast table.

Dusky pink roses scramble over the front door and are joined by white roses tumbling along the wall of the house in the little sun-trap garden with decked seating area at the rear. Perfect for a sunny breakfast or a well-deserved chill out before bed.

And at the end of the day climb into bed in Hillcrest’s only bedroom. The double bedroom has plenty of built in oak wardrobes, a valted beamed ceiling with inset lighting and a lovely view over the gardens and cottages of Ambleside. Upstairs you’ll also find a generously proportioned bathroom with a quality four piece white suite, corner shower and oval bath – perfect for steaming away the aches of an active day in the fells.
