Overview
High Pike is a ground floor apartment within the prestigious Lakelands Development which is set in an elevated position only a very short walk from the centre of the village of Ambleside. From the lounge with floor to ceiling patio doors, High Pike offers great views across Ambleside to the Lakeland countryside and high fells beyond.
The village of Ambleside has been a popular draw for tourists for 300 years and today the village offers a great selection of shops, bars and cafes, along with award winning restaurants serving great local produce. Walks of all levels abound from gentle walks beside the river Rothay to Rydal and Grasmere, the lower hills of Loughrigg Fell and Wansfell reward the walker with spectacular views and those seeking higher level routes will head to the spectacular Fairfield Horseshore. Waterhead at the northern tip of Lake Windermere is a ten minute walk away.
High Pike offers comfortable, quality accommodation, in a great, convenient location, with walks from the door and on-site leisure facilities with indoor swimming pool making it a popular choice all year round.
Accommodation in detail
From the private parking area a communal entrance hallway with lift or stairs to the front door of High Pike.
The front door opens onto an inner hallway which leads into the kitchen area which is fitted with wall and floor cupboards and kitchen appliances.
The kitchen area leads through to the lounge/dining area. The lounge is bright and airy with two comfortable sofas that compete with each other for the best view from the large floor to ceiling patio doors. For cosy evenings in the large flat screen TV is idea for relaxing with a film or your favourite TV show. Stepping out onto the patio there are beautiful views high above the rooftops to Loughrigg Fell, the Langdales, the Coniston Fells or Fairfield and there is no better place to sit and relax with a glass of wine as the sun sets in the evening. Returning to the lounge/dining area the family dining table is an ideal spot to enjoy a hearty breakfast or a romantic dinner for two.
The bedroom, which shares the views across the valley, is well furnished and offers a comfortable king size bed or can be converted to 2 full size single beds if required. This is complemented with an ensuite shower room with shower cubicle, basin and WC and electric towel warmer together with generous wardrobe space.

Location
A holiday cottage in Ambleside provides an excellent starting point for a varied Lake District holiday. Easily accessible 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 popular Fulling 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.
