July 2021

“We didn’t realise there was no wi fi and feel that shoukd be said in the listing.”

...

The tv pixilated on itv and needs to be checked ( we fiddled with the wires and got it to work . The sink in bathroom did not empty easily The description on arrival was confusing as it suggested that you go to your office to pick up keys ( on a Sunday it was closed ) although you also mention the key case and code it is confusing you office in Windermere is lake lovers and we were looking for Sykes !! But the positioning was excellent and really handy for both the lake and Ambleside . We enjoyed our break and hope the comments above help you Kind regards Ian

“It could really do with wi-fi.”

We are in the 21st century. Need to emphasise that it is a small parking space. I barely got my car in, and only with it hanging over the pavement. But a very good holiday.

“Had very enjoyable stay at Birch Knoll which is good for older people.”

Its very convenient for buses and boats and some lovely restaurants. Parking outside not easy if you have large car.

The property

A beautifully presented Lakeland bungalow with private gardens and fell views, only 5 minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside and close to Waterhead Pier. Birch Knoll has been recently refurbished and boasts a stylish, contemporary interior with bright, airy living space and elegant dining area. This is a wonderfully convenient Lake District holiday home, a stroll away from lake cruises on Windermere and with vibrant village life close by. Walks abound from your doorstep and manageable journeys by car or bus will take you throughout our spectacular National Park. == Accommodation in detail Birch Knoll sits in well tended garden, with private parking for one car in the garage and further secure parking right outside the property. Entrance porch leads to bright and airy lounge / dining room with feature electric fire, comfortable furnishings and superb views. Stylish, well equipped kitchen suitable for all holiday purposes. Inner hallway gives access to the two bedrooms, both with attractive views, and to the bathroom with separate WC. Location Waterhead nestles at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, where Windermere Lake Cruisers make regular departures to Bowness and Lakeside. There are a couple of small shops, cafes, pubs and lake shore restaurants to tempt you out, and the delights of central Ambleside are only a few minutes away. Ambleside itself, only 20 miles from the M6 is known as the 'gem' of Lakeland. There's a friendly atmosphere, interesting industrial history, exceptional shopping and an array of eateries and entertainments including a renowed cinema, jazz bar and pizzeria. The surrounding landscapes are spellbinding, with views across Lake Windermere and a famously picturesque stretch of the A591 taking you from Ambleside, past tranquil Rydal Water to Grasmere.

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.
