1 Bedroom Self Catered Cottage, Sleeps 2, skelwith bridge, Ambleside – From £460
a LUXURIOUS RIVERSIDE RETREAT FOR TWO
There a few cottages in the area that can boast such a picturesque setting as Riverside Cottage and if you’ve ever popped into the fabulous Chesters By The River at Skelwith Bridge for coffee and cake, then you’ll be very familiar with the location of this much admired property.
A fantastic array of walks can be enjoyed straight from your door ranging from short ambles to full day hikes whilst cyclists will revel in the amount of routes to explore within such a small radius.
Known to its locals as the jewel in Lakelands crown, nearby Ambleside is well stocked with plentiful eateries and interesting shopping whilst romantic Grasmere offers a quieter, more relaxed pace set against a backdrop of stunning scenery that’s been inspiring creatives for centuries. And when you’ve worked up a thirst and an appetite, pop along to The Talbot Bar and sample their menu of ‘Lakeland comfort food’ and local Jennings ale, last orders for food 9pm.
JUST OOZING COUNTRY COTTAGE CHARACTER AND CHARM
Riverside Cottage has bags of curb appeal and just oozes country cottage charm. Step into the open plan living space with stone flagged floors upon which sits a traditional wood burning stove, a welcome sight after a day walking the fells with the dog.

The pretty bedroom has an antique double bed dressed with luxurious linens to ensure a restful sleep and adjacent, modern en-suite shower room.

Respond to Riverside Cottage
Great location, good base for exploring central lakes. Handy porch for drying wet boots and coats. Lovely garden to sit out in and enjoy the views. Loved the views out of the front window whilst having breakfast too. Very peaceful at night.
Another wonderful holiday at The Riverside Cottage. So welcoming, spotlessly clean with everything I needed for the perfect holiday with the garden as a wonderful bonus. A perfect location and the perfect cottage. I have already booked for next year – which says it all, I had a wonderful, restorative stay with springer spaniel Tolly. Thank you so much.
Beautiful place to stay. Comfy bed, good shower, great location beside the river and an Inn. We loved it.
Another wonderful week at Riverside Cottage – a perfect location as a base for walking and a wonderful cottage with everything I needed for a fantastic week for my dog and myself – and the lovely garden was an added bonus. I would also like to add that I found the standard of cleanliness was exceptional – you feel that the cottage is ‘loved’ by Lakeland Retreats. A firm favourite and I cannot wait until my next visit.
I (and my springer) had a wonderful week at Riverside Cottage – cosy and welcoming with everything I needed, with a lovely garden. A lovely cottage in a superb location – one of the best self catering cottages I have stayed in. Just perfect – with excellent support from Lakeland Retreats. Can’t wait to return.
Simply amazing place. Gorgeous location and really thoughtful to leave some milk and Prosecco for our arrival. The shower is amazing and just what you need after a day of fell walking! A bus stop nearby for quick access to Ambleside. The place was so cozy and cute and we can’t wait to re-book for next year. Thank you so much 🙂
Lovely end terrace cottage in secluded lane. Nice for a family getaway somewhere truly peaceful.
Lovely quiet setting with pub and cafe close by – ideal set up
This is a gorgeous little cottage positioned right next to Skelworth Bridge on the river. The local scenery is breathtaking and we managed several fabulous walks right from the doorstep. The cottage is small – perfect for us two and our dog- but well equipped. Michelle was a great host and responded very quickly to any emails. We had a fabulous, relaxing stay with some brilliant walks and I’d definitely recommend this place to stay.
Fantastic location for walks and very close to Ambleside itself. Nice touches on arrival with bread and amenities already there. Lovely little cottage.
Our stay was perfect, a great space and garden, great facilities provided and very cosy. It was as described and met all our needs, a lovely place to stay and would definitely recommend it.
Everything you need. Wonderful location
Great place in a great location. Very friendly and excellent communication throughout
Many thanks to you all at Lakeland Retreats for making our recent stay at Riverside Cottage so enjoyable and memorable. We were delighted to receive our hamper which included a lovely ginger cake, shortbread biscuits and fresh bread and butter and jam.They were all enjoyed throughout our stay. Thank you so much for the wonderful service we received. We really appreciated all that Riverside Cottage had to offer, the espresso machine, the fluffy towels, how clean it was everywhere, the beautiful garden and location and are so grateful to you all for all the care that was put into making it all so lovely for us. We had a great stay and so did our golden retriever Sammy.
