Nestled away down a quiet back street, Shambles Cottage is a traditional Lakeland, slate-fronted terraced cottage that has everything you need and just one minutes’ walk from the centre of Ambleside.
There is a cosy leather suite in the living room and a sitting room with views over Loughrigg Fell for those who want peace and quiet, away from it all.
The spacious, well-equipped kitchen is perfect to dish up a hearty meal to be served on the magnificent polished wooden oval table.
Shambles Cottage is in a quiet, secluded courtyard, a step away from one of Ambleside’s oldest streets ‘The Slack’, yet the town’s amenities are just yards away, with an abundance of shops, cafés and restaurants.
With good public transport links it couldn’t be easier to forget the car and explore the area stress free.
There are plenty of places to visit right on your doorstep, the famous Bridge House or a short walk to Stockghyll Falls are a must, whilst further afield there is beautiful Grasmere village, or catch one of the Windermere ferries from the nearby Waterhead terminal.
For climbing and walking, you are surrounded by fells and mountains, just don’t forget your guide book and camera, your days will be filled! A stay at Shambles Cottage is a must if you would like to explore the Lake District National Park.

Returning to this property for a 3rd time. We love the location right in the centre of Ambleside. The cottage is well looked after, clean and extremely welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shambles. Everything was absolutely perfect, only wish we could stay longer! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were super comfy and the location was close to everything we needed. Jane was a wonderful host and we would definitely stay here again!
