  • "This is a great property in an ideal location."

    Four of us stayed here for a week and there was plenty of room, plenty of hot water and a very well appointed kitchen. The apartment is decorated to a high standard and is in easy walking distance to anything in Ambleside. Parking is fine as long as you follow the instructions given so everyone can get in and out safely. Will stay here again on future trips.

    thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. Glad every thing was enjoyable for you all. Property Owner

About the location

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 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 numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst 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.
