  • "This was a real gem."

    The accommodation was spacious and clean. The views from the lounge were amazing, a big picture window facing the Fairfield horseshoe. There was also a balcony with similar views. The lounge had two big leather reclining sofas, great to sink into after a days walking. Downstairs there was a really handy lobby and covered porch for drying boots and coats (also a washer/dryer if we had needed it) The kitchen had everything we needed and when we arrived there was a welcome pack including biscuits and prosecco plus a pint of milk in the fridge to get us started. Outside we had a designated parking space close to the entrance although we were close enough to walk into Ambleside so didn't need to use the car much. Can't recommend this place highly enough, we will definitely go back at some point.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

Your home away from home

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, 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!

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside with its numerous shops makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and the lakeside at Waterhead with parkland offering lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach. A walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre. Ambleside has plenty of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes from great fish & chips to its two Michelin Star restaurants and all tastes in between are catered for.
