    “Arrived back home after another wonderful week at the Old Laundry in Clappersgate.”

    It's our 3rd year staying here and it's a great base for all that is around it, Ambleside, Windermere, Grasmere and Elterwater are all close by. The cottage itself, has everything you need to make it a perfect stay, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and ample parking. We will definitely be back next year to enjoy another pleasant stay at this lovely cottage.

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: No infants allowed.
