“The cottage was lovely, with everything we needed.”

the location was excellent.

the location was excellent.

- Mrs Day, May 2019
“The location was great, really peaceful and quiet but close to the bustle of Ambleside and Windermere.”

The cottage is delightful, well equipped and very comfortable with lovely outside seating areas. Only thing missing was a hairdryer but luckily I’d thrown mine in my bag at the last minute.

- Dr Hinton, April 2019
“This was our first stay at Apple Tree cottage and my wife and I had a really wonderful time.”

We have rented cottages in the Lake's for over 40 years and this rate with the best. The cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished as is the kitçhen, with front and rear patios and beautiful views you could not ask for anything more. If you are looking for a "special" place to stay, you have just found it, enjoy!. Paula &Dave McLean.

“This is our second visit to Apple Tree Cottage.”

Since our last visit in 2014 the property has (just) changed hands and has been renovated/upgraded to the highest standards. Warm, cozy, relaxing and very well equipped. Also we chose this property again because of it's quiet and yet central location in the lakes. Both Bowness and Ambleside are just a few minutes away by car. Plenty of walking trails nearby. We would definitely stay again.

- Mr Steel, March 2019
“A very comfortable well appointed ‘home’ from home.”

Lovely location. We certainly want to re-visit again and will try to stay in the same cottage.

The property

A delightful traditional, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, one of thirteen dwellings situated on the Merewood Estate one mile from Troutbeck Bridge, perfectly located exactly halfway between Ambleside and Windermere, and less than a ten minute walk from Lake Windermere.

Comfortably appointed throughout to provide superb accommodation, this spacious cottage is ideal for a couple who wish to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and be within easy reach of the many attractions and activities that can be found in the area.

This cottage has a bright and airy open plan living area from where you can at certain times of the year see Lake Windermere across the fields and through the trees.

Outside there are two patios so not matter what the time of day, you can sit back and enjoy this wonderful location with a refreshing drink, plus you're welcome to use the shared lawned areas that surround the cottage.

Directly across the road from the cottage is the Cragwood Country House Hotel, which has a restaurant or why not pop in for afternoon tea and coffee?

The hotel also has a superb outdoor area (currently being refurbished - will open in April), where you can sit with a drink and take in the stunning views of the lake.

The cottage is situated close to the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole, with its gardens, treetop nets, treetop trek, laser clay shooting, archery, bike hire and cafe, and this is where the lake steamers collect passengers to cruise up to Ambleside or down to the bustling towns of Bowness and Lakeside.

There are also some charming walks and bridleways to explore directly from the door of this Lake District cottage up into the beautiful Troutbeck Valley and across to Wansfell, plus the gardens at Holehird are well worth a visit, run completely by volunteers; it is an enchanting and inspirational place to explore.

This wonderful cottage is a perfect romantic retreat at any time of the year.
