About this property
Romney 17 is a beautifully appointed, spacious second-floor apartment in the exclusive Romney Grange development, boasting gorgeous views over shimmering lake Windermere and to the hills beyond. This delightful holiday home gives you one of the finest views in the Lake District, is perfect-ly situated to explore the lake and its shores and is a great place from which to discover the breath-taking Lakeland countryside. Stroll over to Waterhead, just fifty metres away, discover excellent restaurants, shore-line tea rooms, souvenir shops and a lakeside pub. Enjoy a bite to eat and a drink before taking a cruise on England’s largest natural lake. Sit back, revel in the magnificent scenery and look out for the inter-esting birdlife on the many wooded islands. Hire a boat to get up close to the many secluded bays. Take a fifteen-minute level walk to the traditional Lakeland town of Ambleside and discover individu-al shops, excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs and two renowned cinemas. Park in your own covered space, then use the stairs or the get the lift to the second floor, where your stylish apartment awaits. Enter your spacious hallway, leave your outdoor gear in the utility cupboard and go into your light and tastefully furnished lounge. After your long journey, unwind on the comfortable furniture before taking your favourite drink onto your balcony, sit down and take in the spectacular views. Cook a meal in your lovely kitchen with its handy hatch window, then eat as you look out at the fabulous views from your dining table. Walk out to the shared, landscaped grounds to discover wonderful views over the lake and towards the mountains and fells of Langdale, Coniston and Furness. Switch off and relax in your lovely, comfortable bedrooms. You will find one large master bedroom with king size bed and en-suite, and one large twin-bedded room. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over.
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.

Having stayed here a few times before it really does feel like our second home. We enjoyed the benefit of the newly fitted bathroom and shower room but some of the other features in the apartment are becoming a bit tired. I don't know that I would now class this as a luxury apartment but it is still nice and clean and comfortable. We hope to return in the future so it still ticks all the boxes for us. We had to call for maintenance when we arrived as the freezer was so frozen to freezer door didn't shut properly. I suspect the cleaning team were aware of this as the kitchen bit was moved to keep the freezer door closed. The maintenance man was very helpful and bashed the ice away so the freezer would keep closed, however it may be necessary to replace the rubber door seal. The booking process was easy, as was the key collection. On previous bookings with Heart of The Lakes we received a discount card for savings on the Windermere Steamers and other shops in the area, however this is now a thing of the past. Such a pity as it was a nice touch but I guess businesses have to make savings where they can now. It's just a sign of the times.
