“As expected as we’ve been before, great location and flat, only issue is in summer it is uncomfortably hot due to a recirculating air system from the boiler room.”

We brought our own duvet as thick winter duvets on the beds.

“Lovely place and location.”

Although I would love to stay there again, unfortunately, I would have to think twice, as the parking was a massive problem...one day on returning from our day walking, we had to wait 35mins to get a space. Just a shame there isn't a designated space for the property.

“Great apartment in great location Fulling Mill really good.”

We could only do short walks so Loughrigg Tarn, Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater, Tarn Hows and our favourite Blea Tarn.

“We’ve stayed here several times and we’ll certainly be back.”

We love the high standard evident throughout – design, build, styling, equipment, maintenance, cleaning and communication. We only hope it doesn’t become so popular that we can’t book it ourselves!

The property

5 star Ambleside accommodation at its finest and most fabulous, with penthouse views from rooms and viewing balcony. Idle Mill is a traditional mill building, displaying a handsome combination of Lakeland stone and glass. It adjoins the acclaimed Flying Fleece Inn at the beating heart of vibrant Ambleside. The quality of self-catering accommodation in this two bedroom property is rightly rated with 5 stars; elegant oak floors, modern technology, decadent bedrooms, contemporary woodburner and far-reaching views through floor-to-ceiling windows. If you're looking for a real treat in the sought-after centre of this vibrant Lake District village, this is it. == Accommodation in detail A glass bridge crosses the river to the entrance, where seating is available at the water's edge. Entrance leads to the penthouse level. Entrance to spectacular open-plan living area, with oak floor, sumptuous furnishings and fabulous views through full-length windows.

The centre is full of fabulous restaurants, tempting delicatessens, friendly Lakeland pubs and bars, and an excellent cinema for rainy days or relaxed nights. Stroll a few minutes to the lake shore at Waterhead Pier, where you can catch a steamer cruise all the way to Bowness or Lakeside.Ambleside is a famed gathering place for walkers and hikers, and there's no shortage of kit, camaraderie and advice in the many specialist outdoor shops on the high street. You'll find some of the Lake District's best-loved routes begin very close by - great for keen walkers or walking groups.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.
