Description

Norwood House is a striking holiday home in the heart of Ambleside, offering generous space and a refined feel for large families or groups eager to make the most of the Lake District.

Spread across three floors, this impressive property combines classic character with practical comfort, creating a reliable base for sociable gatherings and quieter moments alike.

At its centre is a substantial kitchen, fully equipped for catering to a full house, with an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, wine chiller, washing machine, tumble dryer, kettle and toaster – everything needed for big breakfasts or celebratory dinners.

Meals can be enjoyed in the elegant dining room, while the main sitting room provides a relaxed space to unwind, complete with Smart TV and electric fire.

For rainy afternoons, the lower-ground-floor games room adds a fun twist for friendly competition.

Eight well-presented bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across the property, offering a mix of king-size, double, family and single rooms, many with en-suite facilities for added privacy.

Additional shower rooms help mornings run smoothly when the house is full.

Outside, the enclosed rear patio is ideal for alfresco dining or a quiet drink as the day winds down.

Off-road parking for several cars adds convenience, especially in such a central location.

WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included, along with family-friendly extras such as two highchairs and two travel cots.

Two well-behaved dogs are welcome too, so no one gets left behind.

Ambleside itself brims with independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, all easily explored on foot.

Scenic walks start almost from the doorstep, while nearby Grasmere and Windermere offer lakeside strolls, boat trips and excellent dining.

A little further afield, Keswick rewards a visit with its lively market town atmosphere and dramatic scenery within the Lake District National Park.

Norwood House is a confident choice for a memorable stay, combining space, location and a sense of occasion in one impressive package.

We found the accommodation brilliant for our needs as 8 single people.

We all had our own toilet in our rooms. The equipment provided in kitchen was good, we didn’t need it but great if you wanted to. We had a problem with a key being accidentally locked in a bathroom and the emergency call number was very effective and was sorted in a few hours. The free parking was a bonus just a 5 minute walk down the road plus the permit to park outside the house to unload was helpful. Position of house ideal for getting the bus and walk into town

Great house with spacious rooms, large lounge and large dining room each with space for the whole party, lovely bedrooms.

Norwood house is perfectly situated in the centre of Ambleside with the bus terminus, park, children's playground, cinema, cafes and bars all within 5 minutes walk. We were a 3 generation party including toddlers and 2 dogs and we all enjoyed our stay in Norwood House (and the grandchildren were excited to discover it's connection to Beatrix Potter)
