About this property
Set in 1.5 acres of tranquil woodland close to Stockghyll waterfalls, The Spinney is a spacious and stylish property that is part of the “Falls” development - a converted old bobbin mill just a short distance from the vibrant town of Ambleside. The property boasts a unique layout including a lounge that opens out onto a waterfall balcony. A delightful cottage with views of Nab Scar and Fairfield that are simply amazing.
The property has a spacious lounge with vaulted ceiling galleried landing, Lakeland fireplace and deep-cushioned furnishings. There’s also an oak-fitted kitchen, a separate dining room and it sleeps up to eight guests in two king sized bedrooms and two twins - the master bedroom enjoys glass doors that open onto a balcony providing a romantic escape. Other features include ensuite bathrooms and private parking.
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 property was clean and warm and very spacious. We were very comfy , in some very cold and wet weather- well itâs the Lakes!! We had to chip packed ice off the steps outside which were very dangerous- no grit or salt available and parking for cars was challenging. More toilet rolls would have been appreciated!! Overall, we had a lovely stay.

beautiful large bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and lovely dining room, 5 mins (steepish) walk from Bowness so no need to struggle looking for parking, lovely view of waterfall. Very warm house. Would definitely stay there again.
