    “Gorgeous house with lovely uninterrupted views of the fells.”

    Took so many photos of sunsets and early morning cloud inversions. A very quiet and peaceful location, with some walks from the door. The house has very tasteful decor and furniture, and it was immaculately clean. It is generally well equipped with a couple of exceptions - no washing up liquid, and could really do with wastepaper bins in more of the rooms (only had the kitchen bin and tiny bathroom bins). Loved the wine fridge (leaving space in the fridge for all your holiday food). Overall we ...

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.
