About this property

A comfortable ground floor apartment set in an elevated position, close to the centre of Ambleside, in the beautiful Lake District. 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.

    The views from this property mesmerized is it was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was super comfortable. We really loved staying here and definitely will be back next time we stay in Ambleside. We would definitely recommend booking here should you want to stay in Ambleside

    It is comfortable, clean, central and quiet with a lovely view from the kitchen and the living room. Thank you to the “Walkers”

    We unfortunately arrived after dark and found it extremely difficult to locate the property, the directions say to turn right on to Low Gale and then turn immediately left into a courtyard....this is incorrect, it is the second turn into what looks like a private driveway of a large house! This made the start of our stay very stressful as we were driving and walking up and down the road in the dark and rain after a long day and a long journey
