    “Our third stay and again it was great.”

    A lovely place to unwind and make the very best of the area. Well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful views and the convenience of the location make this a fabulous choice. Walk from here for the Fairfield horseshoe, Wansfelll or Troutbeck, or a short drive for a day in the Langdales. Swim in Rydal, Grasmere, Windermere, Loughrigg tarn, or, for the more hardy, Angle Tarn above the Langdale valley.

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.

Note: Property not suitable for children under 12 years.
