Hayrake
Hayrake is a spacious Ambleside cottage sleeping six, ideal for a family holiday or a group of friends wanting to be close to the town centre. The Armitt Museum & Library is barely half a mile off, and a nearby bus stop plus EV charging add to the convenience.

The Book Brewery and Copper Pot tea rooms are both a short stroll away for breakfast or afternoon tea, while Dove Cottage and Hawkshead Grammar School make worthwhile day trips.

Windermere station is four miles out should you be arriving by rail, and Millerground Landing beach on Windermere, noted for its excellent water quality, is within easy reach for a lakeside outing. A well-placed base for exploring Ambleside and beyond.
