About this property
Millerbeck is a fabulous bolt hole located on the outskirts of picturesque Ambleside in a superb setting at the base of Loughrigg Fell. The property is just a few minutes walk through the park and over the river to bustling Ambleside village centre so whether you are looking to spend quality time together or catch up with friends in a truly inspiring spot with stunning views, here at Millerbeck you have found it.
This apartment is set over two floors and forms part of this period Lakeland residence where the breathtaking views will remain precious memories long after your leave. Just a short walk away lies the shores of Lake Windermere surrounded by amazing countryside. Inside Millerbeck, relaxed sophistication is the theme, get cosy beside the glorious open fire and gaze out through the picture windows. There's plenty of space for sociable meals in the property, but also just a short stroll to lots of evening time entertainment. Both double bedrooms are beautiful, each with a luxurious ensuites, so escape here, unwind and fall head over heels with the Lakes.
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.

The cottage was very cosy and its location was perfect, just a short walk into town through beautiful scenery. There is a brilliant park nearby so the location is excellent for those with children. All the main attractions are a short drive away- Hill Top, Wray Castle, Brockhole, Tarn Hows, Beatrix Potter world and Grizedale forest. There is also a pretty walk/cycle from the cottage to Grasmere, which we discovered on the last day. The cinema in town was also perfect for a rainy morning. Iâd definitely recommend hiring a motor boat on the lake, which even the children steered! Lunch at the Towerbank Arms in Sawrey is also a must and the Tap House in Ambleside did the most amazing pizza and burgers! The cottage was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. The open fire was just lovely. We did have an issue with the shower that leaked through the ceiling into the downstairs electrics. Maintenance were quick to come and look at it but couldnât solve the issue immediately. A small thing, but the can opener did not work so we had to borrow one from a neighbour apart from that, we would definitely come and stay again in this wonderful, cosy cottage!

Had everything we needed and we loved it. Nice easy walks into Ambelside (10-12 min) as well as just off a main road for any local drives we chose. We walked to the waterfront (20-25 mins) and enjoyed a Ferry to and from Burness on Windermere. The WIFI was fast enough.
