Stone Howe

About this property

Stown Howe is a quirky and stylish bungalow resting in Ambleside, Cumbria, in the spectacular surroundings of the Lake District. Arranged across one floor and sleeping four guests in two bedrooms, this bright property makes an appealing base for families, friends or couples eager to experience the fells, lakes and attractions of this much-loved part of Cumbria. Large windows frame the sensational views, while a pretty conservatory provides an inviting place to sit back and admire the scenery. Step inside and make yourself at home in the spacious sitting room, where deep-cushioned sofas invite you to put your feet up after a day exploring the Lake District. Switch on the electric stove on cooler evenings, gather for a film on the large TV and DVD player, or simply settle down for an afternoon of relaxation. From here, doors lead into the bright conservatory, a delightful spot for reading the papers, soaking up the sunshine and taking in the surrounding views. When appetites call, head through to the kitchen/diner, a light-filled space where you can prepare and enjoy meals together while continuing to make the most of the scenery. A door leads through to a useful washing and drying room, providing added convenience throughout your stay. As evening draws in, retire to one of two tastefully furnished bedrooms. The super-king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a generous twin bedroom features an unusual round window and is served by the family bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath. Outside, private parking for one car is available, with a charming fenced pathway leading across to the bungalow. Whether your days are spent cruising across the lake, exploring Ambleside or venturing into the surrounding fells, Stown Howe provides a characterful base for your next Lake District getaway.

Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1214370 sleeping up to 6 guests.

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.
