    “We needed some instructions for the Electric Hob.”

    We contacted Sykes by phone when we could not get the Hob On and a very polite gentleman said he would contact somebody and they would call us or visit the property the following morning. We did not receive any further contact from the Sykes team and had to use our own initiative by searching the internet for Hob operating instructions.

We did not receive any further contact from the Sykes team and had to use our own initiative by searching the internet for Hob operating instructions. It was disappointing that nobody checked in with us to ensure we were able to prepare a Christmas dinner. So please prepare some clear simple written instructions for the Hob and place them with the oven instructions.

Originally forming part of the old bobbin mill, standing on the side of the cascading Stockghyll, Waterfall is one of a select few luxury residences that forms part of the prestigious 'Falls' development which has been finished to a very high standard by its owners who have created a contemporary and comfortable Lakeland retreat situated only a few minutes' walk from the centre of the bustling village of Ambleside.

Less than 10 minutes' walk away is the popular village of Ambleside with its wonderful collection of cafes, local bars and restaurants. The village offers a fantastic range of local shops including those selling local crafts and produce. Waterfall offers every opportunity to explore the Lake District at any time of year with easy access to all the Lake District's most popular villages and attractions however if you prefer to get out and walk there are numerous walks to choose from departing directly from the cottage door! Follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth and enjoy the walk along the shores of Rydal Water to Grasmere, take in the stunning views from the nearby Loughrigg Fell or Wansfell and for those who want to get out onto the high fells head across the lane and onto the footpath leading to the towering skyline of the Fairfield Horseshoe.

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.
