Todd Crag in Clappersgate on the outskirts of Ambleside.

Our beautiful 16th Century gentleman's residence has been sympathetically restored to provide luxurious self catering accommodation on two levels in the pretty hamlet of Clappersgate.

Guests are able to relax and enjoy the delightful cottage garden with patio in this sun trap.  Loughrigg Fell can be accessed from the path adjacent. Todd Crag House is a tranquil retreat with busy Ambleside less than 1 mile away where you will find an array of shops, restaurants and pubs to meet all needs.

Todd Crag occupies the lower level of this two storey stone built residence. You will find the original oak beams and supports, panelling and Minton tiled hall floor.

This very spacious ground floor apartment comprises:

At the front of the property is the traditional entrance porch with timber clad slate seats (a sunny place to sit and read the morning papers or simply watch the world go by) leading into a spacious Victorian panelled hall with the original Victorian tiles, leaded window and oak beams. At the other end of the hall the rear door (the main entrance) leads directly into the private cottage garden with patio furnishings. The extremely spacious yet cosy lounge with wide screen television with digital and Freesat channels is beautifully furnished with deep cushioned sofas, a window seat, Laura Ashley fabrics and the all important warming open fire set in a magnificent oak and stone surround.  The large Shaker style kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for self catering.  The spacious bedroom with king size bed is beautifully furnished with co-ordinating fabrics with another window seat and plump cushions. The bathroom is designed for relaxation with bath / powerful shower. In addition there is, for your convenience a large utility room housing the washing machine, drier and central heating boiler. Lots of room for boots, rucksacks and waterproofs.

We provided a private cottage garden for your use. This sunny spot is ideal for morning coffee afternoon tea or evening aperitifs.

Parking is within the grounds of the properties with easy access to the entrance through the enclosed sunny patio garden .
