Waterhead Cottage
Just a short stroll from the Cottage, will lead you to our exceptional lake frontage which offers an extensive private jetty for the exclusive use of guests of Lakeside and Waterhead Cottages. Our private jetty is ideal for enjoying lake activities such as swimming, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing and of course launching your own boat, or simply relaxing in this exclusive environment.
In addition, the lake frontage provides our guests with a unique lakeside lounge and dining area, enabling you to relax, enjoy and take in the stunning Lake Windermere views. A gas and charcoal BBQ is provided for our guests to eat ‘Al fresco’ and complete their day in style.
Waterhead Cottage is conveniently located off the main road between Ambleside and Windermere, set back behind a stone wall and established hedging, which affords the property privacy and a rural feel. There are excellent transport links for exploring the Lake District and beyond. The bus stop is only a few hundred yards away and the lake ferries can be boarded from the neighbouring Lake District Visitors Centre, hence a car is not essential.
