    “Very comfortable and well equipped house in an ideal location above Ambleside.”

    The beds and furnishings were of a high standard and comfortable. The credit at the local deli was a nice surprise and better than any made up hamper, thank you!! From a maintenance point of view, the outer front red door is sticking and difficult to open and close. Also the downstairs loo flush sometimes sticks and continues to fill. These small things did not detract from a wonderful weekend away. We would definitely consider coming back again in the future.

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.
