Riverside
Description
A breathtaking Lakeland residence, embracing the magic of it's secluded riverside location in the Troutbeck Valley, but still only a few miles from Lake Windermere and Ambleside village. Spacious, elegant and as suited to grand social occasions as it is to relaxed family escapes, Riverside brings the 'outside in' with enormous picture windows overlooking 12 acres of private grounds in this stunning rural setting.
The king-size bedroom suites are romantic retreats in themselves, and a top floor triple room makes a perfect hideaway for children. Celebrate over a sociable meal, relax in the conservatory, or relish lazy picnic meals in the picturesque gardens. You'll definitely want to sample your local pub - one of our favourites!

Location
This fabulous Troutbeck holiday let property enjoys the scenic surroundings of the Troutbeck Valley, which lies between Windermere and Ambleside village. To the north via the dramatic Kirkstone Pass road is picturesque Ullswater.
The Troutbeck Valley is popular with walkers, photographers and those who love to do nothing but admire the scenery! There are a number of walks to enjoy in the area, ranging from a leisurely stroll around Brotherswater to an exciting trek on the Wansfell Ridge.
Whatever you get up to, you'll be tempted by a meal or a pint of real Lakeland ale at the Mortal Man Inn in Troutbeck - One of the best country pubs in the Lake District.
Despite the air of seclusion, you only need travel a few miles to reach Windermere - with shops, Booths supermarket, cafes and restaurants on offer.
There are plenty of family attractions only a few miles further away in Bowness village, including the World of Beatrix Potter attraction, lake shore mini golf, cinema, the 'Old Laundry Theatre' and Windermere Golf Club.
Follow the A591 north and you'll reach Ambleside on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. This cosmopolitan village is great for shopping, offers several acclaimed Lake District restaurants such as The Glass House, and also offers Windermere Lake Cruises from Waterhead Pier. Continue on the A591 to Rydal Water and historic Grasmere. It couldn't be easier to explore!

What guests are saying
We had an amazing stay at Riverside.
The accommodation was absolutely fantastic. Very spacious, clean, everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Thank you
Great home from home.
Enjoyed this property many times over the years. Great base for the best of the Lake District.
What a fantastic location and accommodation.
We had a very relaxing time at the property, enjoying the sound of the river and sheep. We were able to get into the river to cool down as well. A good location in order to get to places such as Wray Castle, Holehird, Rydal, The Victoria Wood Theatre, Wansfell, Townend etc. If we were to be very picky then you may want to consider the following: 1. A new toaster (the old one has lost its "ping" and you have to use a knife to get the toast out!) 2. The shower door handle is loose. 3. The downstairs hot tap is very loose. 4. The lamp in the lounge doesn't work (but to be fair this may just need 2 new light bulbs which we only found on the last day!) 5. It would have been nice to have a clothes horse or washing line to dry clothes (some clothes can't go into a tumble drier). 6. If your guests have travelled a long way and are arriving late then a welcome pack would be appreciated e.g. tea, coffee, milk, shower gel. We had a great time and the setting was amazing. Thanks, Tim and family
