Nab Cottage is a unique Lake District retreat overlooking Rydal Water, offering a mix of walking holidays, wellness experiences and group stays in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature.
Located between Ambleside and Grasmere, this characterful cottage is ideal for anyone looking to combine outdoor adventure with wellbeing and relaxation. Guests can spend their days hiking trails in the beautiful scenery, enjoying yoga or Watersports, and unwinding in the sauna or hot tub overlooking the lake. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with communal spaces, gardens and freshly prepared vegetarian meals, creating a true retreat experience.
Nab Cottage provides a warm, communal atmosphere perfect for group bookings and solo travellers.
Located between Ambleside and Grasmere, Nab Cottage offers a "hidden gem" feel while remaining easily accessible.
Our favorite thing about this spot is the 'doorstep adventure' factor. You can literally walk out the front door, cross the lane, and be wild swimming in Rydal Water within two minutes.
Insider Tip: If you’re visiting in the autumn, the walk up to Rydal Caves (just a short hike from the cottage) offers some of the most spectacular reflections in the Lake District.
