Ambleside Haven

About this property

Ambleside Haven is a smart and stylish ground-floor apartment in the heart of the Lake District. Perfectly suited to couples or small families seeking both relaxation and adventure, this abode boasts an attractive communal garden, with a private patio and plenty of nearby amenities. Step inside through a secure communal entrance into your private hallway, where there’s space for coats and walking gear, ideal for those returning from a day on the fells. The living/dining room is tastefully furnished with deep-cushioned seating, a dining area for four, and a Smart TV/DVD for relaxed evenings in. French doors open directly onto a delightful patio, a lovely spot to enjoy the garden views.

The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a microwave and slow cooker. The main bedroom is bright and restful, featuring an en-suite WC, while the second bedroom offers twin beds that can be made into a king-size on request. A modern bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the accommodation, offering everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Ambleside Haven is ideally located for those who want to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of the Lake District. A short walk brings you to the shores of Lake Windermere and Waterhead Pier, where steamers depart for Bowness and Lakeside.

The village itself is full of character, with traditional Lakeland cottages, independent shops, and acclaimed restaurants. For walkers, the options are endless, from gentle lakeside paths around Rydal Water and Grasmere to the ever-popular Loughrigg Fell. For more seasoned hikers, the Fairfield Horseshoe offers a rewarding challenge, starting right from your doorstep. With historic sites like the Roman fort of Galava and Wordsworth’s former home at Rydal Mount nearby, every outing is steeped in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Ambleside Haven is a lovely base in the Lake District National Park with plenty of amenities nearby.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside with its numerous shops 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 the lakeside at Waterhead with parkland offering lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach. 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. Ambleside has plenty of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes from great fish & chips to its two Michelin Star restaurants and all tastes in between are catered for.
