    “Comfortable apartment conveniently located only a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside.”

    The only minus point I would mention is that if you have a larger vehicle, accessing the property (as with a lot of places in the Lakes) can be a challenge with sharp blind bends and single track roads. The apartment was a wonderful base from which to explore the local area. Could do with a bit more info on where to find the bins for the apartments though. Searched around the complex but could not find them. Overall - excellent stay.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

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.
