Afton View

Afton View is a first-floor apartment resting in Ambleside, Cumbria.

Boasting balcony views of the Lake District National Park’s stunning landscape and equipped with off-road parking for one car, this one bedroom property is idyllic for a couple on a Cumbria getaway.

Race up the stairs to enter this practical property.

Shake off your boots in the hallway and throw your adventure-stained clothes in the washing machine.

A bath in the bathroom waits to massage your muscles, while the kitchen is prepared with a gas hob, double oven, fridge, freezer, and microwave to satisfy your worked-up appetite.

Enjoy your well-earned meal from the open-plan living/dining area at a table for two.

The dishwasher volunteers for clean-up duty, so feel free to relax outside on the balcony and watch the sun melt into royal rolling hills of countryside grandeur.

Dive into a king-size bed eager to catch you and drift off to dreams of tomorrow’s adventures.

Start them on your doorstep – Ambleside has an array of attractions to explore.

Take a scenic stroll around Stock Ghyll Force and Ambleside Roman Fort, before challenging your partner to a game at White Platts Miniature Golf.

Just a walk away awaits Windermere, the centre of adventure.

This is especially true at Brockhole on Windermere, where you can scratch that explorer’s itch through archery, kayaking, and zip-lines.

Visit the National Trust Windermere and Troutbeck Park and Gardens, before hiking to the Orrest Head Viewpoint.

Dive into England’s largest lake at Lake Windermere, then float through the Windermere Jetty Museum.

A fan of William Wordsworth?

Travel that bit further to Grasmere, where the former homes of Wordsworth beg to be toured at Wordsworth Grasmere and National Trust Allan Bank and Grasmere.

Afterwards, enjoy a coffee break and row across a tranquil lake pulled from the pages of a storybook at Faeryland Grasmere.

Of course, scenic marvels are never far in the Lake District National Park – peaks are plotted in every direction; Scafell Pike is just a short drive away!
