“Lovely accommodation Beautiful setting Highly recommend”

- Jackie, June 2022
Lindsay May 2022

“Lovely, well equipped, spacious property in a great location with the added bonus of off road parking.”

We have stayed here many times before and upgrade of the kitchen to a kitchen/dining/living area is a real improvement. Although property is advertised to accommodate 5 it does have 3 double bedrooms ( one is a small double bed with access only on one side) so can accommodate 6.. Ambleside is close by and provides an excellent bus service throughout the Lakes. We would highly recommend this property and will be returning.

“Leafy Nook was an absolute gem of a place to stay.”

Situated perfectly in close proximity to Ambleside town centre with all amenities within a sort stroll away. Excellent place to just park your car and explore the surrounding area. Plenty of family friendly walks from Ambleside, a place we have frequented over many years. The accommodation itself was clean, modern, well equipped and extremely welcoming, a bit like home from home. There were 3 HD TVs in the accommodation which were not mentioned in the description - this was ideal as there was no fighting over TVs in the evenings! If there are any criticisms to be made (and this is nit-picking and did not really affect us much), radio reception was poor and virtually non-existent in the lower ground floor. The property is not really suitable for people with physical disabilities as there is no wheelchair access and the rooms were downstairs. There was a bit of noise coming from the accommodation upstairs - not a problem in the night as the sleeping arrangements were all below the ground floor. In summary - pleasantly surprised with the visit and will definitely consider staying again in the near future! Many thanks to the owners for a great stay!

“A lovely property!”

We had an amazing stay - the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is amazing and the general setting very calming. Nothing I would improve. Thanks and would definitely come again

“Overall the property more than met our expectations for comfort, standard and quality of furnishings etc.”

, The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery and utensils. When we arrived several light fittings weren't working due to the bulbs but there were no replacements available. It would help if the maintenance team checked these before leaving. Instructions for the dustbins would have been useful. We eventually found them.

“Parking can be aproblem.”

Our allocated space was occupied by someone else for the whole week

“Cottage was very clean,up to date and everything in it that was needed.”

We only took one car as stipulated and there was parking allotted to our cottage. Walking into town for people with walking difficulties is a bit tricky but it only took 5 to 10 minutes and there is no handrail going down stairs to bedrooms but overall we were very pleased with cottage and would definitely return.

“The parking description is a bit disingenuous because there are very few visitors spaces and no obvious off road parking.”

Also, no mention of height restrictions on car port space (which isn’t signed either). The tumble drier function on the washer isn’t working very well and the DVD player has a strange buzzing noise. Otherwise it is a nice spot with the river position being a bonus.

The property

The tumbling waters of Stock Ghyll Beck are a significant feature of this rather unusual apartment. Leafy Nook literally perches over the water with its balcony cantilevered out over the falls - the sound of water is never far away. Our clients who stay at The Falls enjoy the setting - it is handy for the centre of Ambleside and equally well placed for many walks and rambles in the delightful heart of the Lake District. Accommodation: The front door is reached over a small bridge leading into the entrance hall with room to hang coats and leave boots etc. Hallway leads off to separate wc with basin. New large open plan kitchen/living/dining room with sofa and flat screen TV. Spacious separate sitting room with flat screen TV and two sets of French doors leading to the balcony which runs down two sides of the property overlooking the river. Stairs from the hallway lead down to three bedrooms. Master bedroom with king size bed overlooking the river with TV, en-suite shower, wc, basin and bidet. Twin bedroom also overlooking the river, and a further single room.(with double bed) Newly fitted family bathroom has bath with shower over, basin and wc. Furnishings throughout are modern and comfortable with co-ordinating decor and many personal touches. The property has a really welcoming feel and is warm and comfortable in any season with gas central heating and hot water. Fitted carpets throughout with cushioned vinyl in the kitchen and bathrooms. Outside: Balcony with seating leading off the lounge area through two sets of French windows. Good views of The Falls with surrounding mature trees. Private parking for one car under a carport, other visitors shared parking on site.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.

This property offers the following short breaks:
