“The apartment was ideal for two people, very comfortable and tastefully furnished.”
The location was within easy reach of the shops and bus stop, we used the bus several times. The weather was beautiful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the bottle of wine and the biscuits were most welcome.
The property
Within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside village, Koru at Ambleside is an elegant, sophisticated and romantic retreat for two. Taking its name from the New Zealand Maori symbol for new life, growth, strength and peace, Koru At Ambleside is the ideal retreat to relax and enjoy the beauty and adventure that is waiting to be discovered in the Lake District.
This ground floor apartment has a spacious lounge with cosy log burning stove and balcony with kitchen to the side, a queen size bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
With an array of walks from the door, enjoy the popular vistas from Loughrigg Fell and Wansfell, follow the river Rothay through the valley and the lakeshore paths beside Rydal Water and Grasmere. If it's the high fells that appeal then there are challenges aplenty. Returning to the village, Ambleside offers a great selection of local bars, cafes and restaurants that are busy all year round. Great local shops, welcoming village pubs and a choice of cinemas make Ambleside one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Lake District.

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.
