With the delights of the Lake District right on your doorstep, this stylish Ambleside cottage, set into a hillside, is perfect for couples and small groups of friends looking for a fun-filled holiday. From the parking area, steps lead down to this Ambleside self-catering apartment, offering two bedrooms; a king-size double and a single room. The bathroom boasts a kidney-shaped bath, perfect for a relaxing soak after a day exploring the area. This Ambleside apartment also offers a kitchen and a stylish, modern sitting room with a gas fire. Sliding patio doors lead to an elevated patio with views stretching towards Todd Cragg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, where you can sit back and enjoy the breathtaking sight of the sun setting over Loughrigg Fell. The centre of Ambleside is an easy stroll from this Ambleside apartment, home to a host of cafés and restaurants with a selection of excellent shops to peruse. Why not embark on a Lake Windermere cruise from Ambleside into the bustling town of Bowness-on-Windermere? Lakes Aquarium in Lakeside is also a great place to visit or alternatively you can disembark at Brockhole and walk back to Ambleside over Wansfell, through the pretty Troutbeck Valley. With Rydal, Grasmere and Hawkshead an easy drive away, this self-catering apartment in Ambleside is perfect for couples and friends looking to explore the Lake District.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes. 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. Apart from 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.
