Location
This fabulous self-catering property with Windermere lake access stands in private grounds very close to Waterhead Pier, and just outside the vibrant village of Ambleside. The location is perfect for enjoying a gorgeous section of Lake Windermere; the views to surrounding fells are sublime - particularly from the water - and if you cruise on the lake you'll find plenty of spots to moor up and stop for a drink or a meal. If you don't bring a boat of your own, you can stroll to Waterhead Pier and catch a Windermere Lake Cruise to Bowness or Lakeside - a perfect way to explore without taking the car.
Only a few minutes away is the cosmopolitan Lake District village of Ambleside. Steeped with history, the village is now a vibrant mix of sophisticated shops and expert outdoor stores, tempting delicatessens and a wide range of options for evening entertainment. From traditional Lakeland pubs to renowned Lake District restaurants such as The Glass House, you'll find plenty of options for an evening meal. If family entertainment is on the cards, take the opportunity to visit Zeffirellis cinema, pizzeria and jazz bar.
