The Local Area: Little Barn is just 15 minutes walk from central Ambleside, yet surrounded by woodland and steep fellside, with only a couple of houses and a farmhouse for company, such is the geography of the Lake District! There is a little balcony befitting of a very little barn, which allows for wonderful views across the valley and to further flung fell tops. A bridleway runs right past the front door and the whole area is criss-crossed with walks and trails. Visitors can cruise the length of Lake Windermere to various destinations by boarding the historic lake steamers and launches from the jetty in Ambleside. Parking: There is a private parking bay just a little way up the hill from the property, at the end of Little Barn’s meadow garden. This provides parking for at least two cars. Please use this parking bay and not the concrete ramp outside the property as this provides access for our neighbours. Dogs: Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome on payment of an additional charge collected through our Guest Portal. A food and water bowl are provided. We kindly ask that you pick up after your lovely pooches and do not leave them unattended in the property. Other Things To Note: This property may not be suitable for young children and infants as there are steep stairs and also railings under the kitchen table which a child could crawl through and this is over the staircase. You may bring children if you wish but please be aware of the need for extra supervision. Please note that there is no stair gate, high chair or travel cot at the property. Little Barn's water is supplied from a natural spring. This is filtered, complies with Environmental Health Regulations and is tested annually. The property is accessed via a very steep private road which is also a public footpath.
