A holiday property in Ambleside provides an excellent starting point for a varied Lake District holiday.

Easily accessible via the A591 on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a contemporary, characterful Lakeland village with a spectacular backdrop of Lake District fells.

The location is ideal for walking in the Lake District, with many renowned routes beginning in and around the village.

But Ambleside is also a popular choice for a relaxed, slow-paced holiday.

Contemporary shops, leisurely lake cruises, acclaimed Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs make the village centre a delight at any time of year.

For evening entertainment, you'll find plenty to suit every taste.

Try the renowned Force Mill restaurant, in a superbly converted saw mill, for a special evening out.

Or, take your pick from the two quirky cinemas; Zeffirellis cinema includes a great pizzeria and live jazz bar.

Fellinis has an excellent vegetarian restaurant and shows films in a relaxed studio cinema environment.

You'll also find a wide range of pubs, serving hearty food and real Lakeland ale - notable for its lake shore setting is the Wateredge Inn.

Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Waterhead Pier, just outside Ambleside village centre.

The elegant 'steamers' offer regular trips to Bowness and Lakeside - a great way to explore without driving.

Evening cruises are also available, sometimes with buffet meals and live music.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

Please note this property has a zip link bed. This will be made as a super king by default. Please contact the call centre should you wish it to be a twin.

Please Note: This property accepts a maximum of one dog and additional pet requests can not be accepted.
