“Amazing apartment.”

.. don’t want to go home, spotless and well equipped. So many walks from the front door. Keep a look out for the red squirrels. Will return again. Excellent!

“I absolutely can't fault it.”

Absolutely perfect. I've so far had 3 holidays this year with heart of the lakes and just enjoyed it so much, never felt so relaxed.

“It was cosy, comfortable and very well equipped.”

I chose the location of the property to meet my walking plans and it met and exceeded my expectations. Hopefully, I will be able to return in the future as I could not find fault with the property or location.

“Our first time at this property and definitely not our last!”

It has everything you can wish for and more. Wonderful walks from the door and even say the elusive red Squirrel.

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.

Note: This property is not suitable for children. Note: Access to the property is via a flight of stairs leading to the first floor
