About this property

Luxurious Old Ambleside House is a holiday home with the ‘wow factor’, and then some. Each and every room is breath-taking, with no detail overlooked. This is a property in which to hold a landmark celebration or enjoy an incredible holiday with very special friends and family.

On entering the house an impressive hallway leads to three ground floor bedrooms, while stairs lead up to the stunning living accommodation and final bedroom. Beginning downstairs, there are two fabulous king size rooms and sophisticated twin, each having a smart TV and designer en-suite shower room. The bedrooms come with choice of goose down or non-allergic duvets, as well as a Sonos Music system and charging points for mobiles and iPads.

Moving to the first floor, the living space is sensational. Deep cushioned sofas and enormous armchairs are the perfect setting in which to enjoy the large smart TV offering Sky and Sky Sports, while the designer dining table and matching chairs are an elegant setting for the finest of dinner parties. Speaking of which, the kitchen to die for. The Smeg oven is a delight, the fitted cupboards are modern and bright, and the worktops, flooring and fittings of the highest quality. There will be no shortage of volunteers wishing to help prepare a delicious breakfast or gourmet evening meal in here.

Ambleside is located at the northern tip of Lake Windermere and is one of the Lake District’s most sophisticated villages. Around every corner guests will find award-winning restaurants and gorgeous boutiques. Cosy Lakeland pubs as well as quirky independent cinemas, a highly regarded pizzeria and jazz bar. Everything needed to round off a perfect day in the glorious Lake District countryside.

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 upstairs, kitchen/dining/living area is perfect for a group to either do things together, or have moments apart, and there are all of the facilities you would expect for a high end property. So why only 4 stars? There is parking for 2 cars, but making that work requires some interesting manoevering! They have made the best of the space available, but something you need to be aware of. And the biggest issue is the noise from outside the house. The downstairs bedrooms are at street level, and at one point I got up in the middle of the night to check whether the window was actually shut! Other stayers in our party reported a similar issue, so not just the room we chose. Would probably mean that we would not book the property again, which is a shame

    The house was beautifully decorated and felt very welcoming. Very well equipped and a fabulous welcome basket. Handy location for getting into town. Everything was just perfect.
